In my custom template I use

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

Even though I am only getting the content for one page. Not saying what I am doing is the best way but it does work.

Congratulations on the baby, we have are first one on the way and it is due to arrive any day now. Best of luck on which ever path you choose to journey with your site, and feel free to reach out any time with questions. [signature moderated]

Yes, I think dodgy would be equivalent. Just seems like the code may work but it is not what I would expect to see. I am pretty well versed in coding, but am relatively new to wordpress. I will say while there is a learning curve, I do not know of a CMS that has a more user friendly backend, which is why I have chose to stick with it.

Let me know if I can be of anymore help.

Can you still access admin side of the original site?

Are you saying that you had someone write a custom theme for you? I would guess the issue lies in the header.php file. I looked at your source code, but could really tell much from that, would need to see the original header.php. I can say from the source that it looks like some very funky stuff is going on…

Also for the posts, what do you have set for “Front Page Displays” in Settings > Reading?

It looks like the code you would need to edit for the footer is in style.css

.footer-content .footer_wrap {
background: url(images/footer-bg.png);
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 30px;
width: 1040px;
}

You would want to change the background element in that code. You could use something like

background-color:#FFFFFF

Which would make the background white. Are you comfortable editing the CSS?

I see to that as soon as I can… Just started today with my first custom post type, taxonomy, and fields. Much quicker then writing all the PHP from scratch. Starting to get the whole wordpress craze…

Nevermind… on a hunch I changed the Permalink type, updated, and then switched it back to post-name and it is fine now.

Thanks for all of your help! Might I send you a box of choclates or a bag of skittles for your help =)

Ugh… not sure if this is the right part of the forum for this.

No when I create new pages and use the link in the menu I get a not found error =(

**HUGS!** **BIG HUGS!**

That was the culprit. Is there an optimized .htaccess to use with wordpress or best to stick with the one it creates?

This is the error I get when I click the CSS file in the source code to follow the link:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I haven’t even got to a functions file yet. Just started building this theme today.

I do have:

1. 404.html (which I should change to .php)
2. .htaccess (from intializer – HTML5 Boiler Plate
3. humans.txt
4. robots.txt
5. header, index, footer, style
6. favicon.ico, and a few apple-touch .png’s

Basically I am trying to take the Initializer bootstrap 2.0 responsive boilerplate and adapt it to WP. I started working with Roots but gave up on it and thought it would be easier to have my own code, and get a true understanding of WP.

When I uploaded 2011’s header.php the code was updated, but the CSS does not work, and I got the 404 when clicking the path in the source.

Just uploaded the 2011 style.css and the theme info was changed in the admin panel, but no CSS on the page, and when I went into the source and clicked the link to the CSS file I got a 404 again.

So the admin panel is picking up the info from the comments at the top of style.css but the theme is not picking up the css file?
