It worked! John, youre brilliant! Thank you so much.
Somehow I missed entering a URL into my settings and once I did that and then went back and clicked on the grant permissions link…twice, I was able to make a test post and it was successful!
Thanks again. Have a great day!

Same thing here.

Thats slick, thank you. Ive only been using wordpress for a week or so now but Ill get the hang of it…..sooner or later.
Thanks for your help, and for dropping in! ??

Well, not so sure thats the solution but it will work for now. In my theme options theres a list for how I want the blog to be viewed in post format or default. I was using default and your code basically changed it to a post format. Not a fix but it does make the links active right up front so I guess Ill stick with it for awhile.
Thanks so much for the help!

nazcar, I found the default.php and I dont see the code you showed….do you?

<div id=”container”>
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/content-top-home.gif” alt=”logo” style=”float: left;” />
<div id=”left-div”>

<!–Begind recent post–>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>

<div class=”home-post-wrap”>

<div class=”date”>
<div class=”month”><?php the_time(‘M’) ?></div>
<div style=”clear: both;”></div>
<div class=”day”><?php the_time(‘j’) ?></div>
</div>

<div class=”post-right”>
<div class=”featured-categories”><?php the_category(”) ?></div><span class=”author-link”><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> </span>
<div style=”clear: both;”></div>
<h2 class=”titles”>” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title() ?></h2>
<div style=”clear: both;”></div>
<?php $thumb = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘Thumbnail’, $single = true); ?>
<?php if($thumb !== ”) { ?>
” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $thumb; ?>&h=165&w=165&zc=1″ alt=”<?php if($thumb_alt !== ”) { echo $thumb_alt; } else { echo the_title(); } ?>” class=”thumbnail” />
<?php } else { echo ”; } ?>
<?php the_content_limit(410, “”); ?>
</div>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<div style=”clear: both;”></div>
<div style=”margin-left: 110px; margin-top: 5px;”>
<?php if(function_exists(‘wp_pagenavi’)) { wp_pagenavi(); }
else { ?>
<p class=”pagination”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous Entries’) ?> <?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries »’) ?></p>
<?php } ?>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<h2 >No Results Found</h2>

<p>Sorry, your search returned zero results. </p>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/content-bottom.gif” alt=”logo” style=”float: left;” />
</div>

kmessinger……I meant not from the front page, where the snippet of the blog post is.

Hmm, I dont seem to have a default.php. Where would that be? Its not in the main directory, or the theme directory.

Oops, forgot to add the Google Coupon post…. https://www.couponboom.com/2009/06/google-coupons/

No, links are still not working. Heres an example…In this post, the words Beyond The Rack are linked and work fine…https://www.couponboom.com/2009/06/beyond-the-rack/
But in this post, the words Google Coupons are linked but not working, just dead text.
This is what confuses me, why it would work in some posts but not in others?
Thanks for your time.

nazcar, Ive opened both the wordpress index.php and my theme index.php and neither of those have that line in there. Heres what they have:
wordpress index.php

<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

theme index.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if (get_option(‘artsee_format’) == ‘Blog Style’) { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/blogstyle.php’); ?>
<?php } else { include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/default.php’); } ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

</body>
</html>

I thought maybe it was because of encrypted affiliate urls but even with straight up .com’s its still messing up. The links work in some of my blog posts, but not in all. The text is just dead. Thanks for your help.

kmessinger, Im aware of the differences between .org and .com. Having your own webhost for wordpress shouldnt mean being a master at html in order to enter a link.

To change or not to change.
I validated the links and html and I havent a clue what Im looking at.
I thought with wordpress you can just install and blog. Im not a master at html and I dont know how to fix those problems or prevent them from happening in the future.
Thanks for the replies.

Well Im really confused now. When I make a post some links work, and some dont. All are written up, or linked, the same way. What do you think is going on? it doesnt make sense to me at all.

Uhh, I didnt know that. When I click on the post title it takes me to the full post. grrrr. I dont want to go back to joomla but this is becoming a pita. Where do I change it? Under Posts is just Edit/Add/Categories/Tags.
I dont know what ‘pretty permalinks’ is. Ive only been using wordpress for a week or so. Under my permalinks section the Common Settings is set to default.
Thanks again.

2.7.1 and thank you ?? Nice is great but pretty useless unless I can get this problem fixed.
I have to run out for a bit so Ill just pound my head against it again when I get back.
Thanks for your help.
