Looks like it’s the <p> tags that are being stripped. If I go back to the WP editor under ‘posts’ then they’ll all be gone. I can add them back and save it and everything looks good….if I need to re-edit the post, it removes them again and I need to add them all back. Super annoying. I’ll try the plug-ins.

Seems to me that the styling (when I’m using a firebug) is being applied on the <p> tag. I can’t understand what is happening that it’s written two diff ways on two diff pages. It never used to be like this….I’m sure a lot of you will say “Which plug-ins have you used” and “remove them first”, but if that’s the case, then it’s not worth it. I try and limit the amount of plug-ins I use as I find most of the time they tend to break some functionality somewhere on your site, and half the time we aren’t even aware of it.
The ones I have, I need.
I should be able to install and run a plug-in without it completely mucking up my source code so that it doesn’t display properly. Frustrating.

Never mind, I removed it for another plug-in that’s working.

So I managed to get it partially working by hard-coding my feedburner ID, but as you can see on the site…doing that produced an error.

Damn. I hate to admit when I was wrong…but I was wrong. Turned out to be a plug-in just as you said…it was caching my pages and displaying stuff that was dead and gone. Really had me fooled. Thanks a bunch for the help.

Sure. Other themes all work like normal…I input stuff in the settings > general…I expect to see the changes logged in or not and I do.

So, now that that’s done….I ask myself a proper troubleshooting question like where is the 1 2 3 coming from I see as my header?

I look in my WP DB under the options table…hmmmm, not in there!!

I search my site to see if somehow it was magically hard coded into the pages? NOPE!

So now what?

Is this an automated answer? That seems to be the general ‘solve-all’ for everything on here? I have no plug-ins…but the standard.

Almost there….I have them all in that DIV but when I float them they just stack ontop of each other instead of laying out side-by-side.

Np, thanks for the help.

I understand how to move the DIV….as you can see now…it’s over on the right side….but it’s static and I can’t set it to absolute as it messes everything up. I can’t seem to do much,,,as soon as I do, everything in the sidebar starts shifting around. I guess I just don’t get nested DIVS

Thanks vtxyzzy, you’ve been awesome help! I got the thumbnail thing figured out. Set featured image is a little convoluted when trying to set a thumb as a featured…but I got it!
As you can see by the link…I set used css to highlight the only div tags that I floated left…it was the .wp-post-image I messed with to get that result…I have some margin and padding there also…just to show the problem.
my site
One div on the far left rises slightly, and I doubt these will fall to second row after 3 or 4 as they’re not really wrapped in a DIV.
Well….they sem to be in #post…but when I inspect it…it’s off on it’s own over in the corner and I can’t seem to get it to do anything with these other div’s that hold the thumbnails….sorry for my crappy explanation.

I would agree with you, but, when I go into the media section….I can see my thumbnail…and it looks GREAT!!!! But that thumbnail I see, is not what’s rendered on my page.

I would put up a screen shot but I can’t.

Thanks.

Here is my site link.

Can you help with two things? First is I’d like the post pics you see (should only be two there one under the other) to be side-by-side…3 per row then a new row.

Secondly, why do the thumbnails appear to be cut off? I thought that DIV box would re-size itself accordingly?

Thanks for any help.

OK….I know what I did and I corrected it but I can’t find a way around it. I had wrapped a set of <div> tags around your code as I wanted to be able to apply a CSS class to the DIV tag and a background to the class, but when I did that it limited it to the two posts. Must have been how I had the DIV’s as I’m back to being able to have all the post’s again but I can’t apply a background to the bulk of them. Only individually. If I apply it to the #posts class, then it stretches across the page. I need to wrap the output at the postbody level….

Works well! Thanks a bunch. I had to adjust my slug to get it to work but once I did all went well. Only problem is the loop seems to iterate twice. Spits out 2 random posts every time if I refresh page. I have 6 labeled with the proper cat name and I get a random 2 every refresh.

Thanks a bunch for the quick response. So I made a template called writing.php. I’m using the ‘Esquire’ theme. I’ll paste the template code here…it’s based on index.php. I don’t think there’s to much to the code but it’s still over my head ??

Anyhow, if you can just show me what I need to tweak in order to get this page to loop through and grab all the posts by the categorie named ‘stories’ and have them display the post name on the page as links.

Thanks for any help…much appreciated.
