Ok so now we know it’s not the plugins who are at fault.

Have you modified the core file (except wp-config.php) at all since you installed WordPress?

Also, you may want to try to change your theme to the default 2010 or 2011 to see if you still encounter the same problem. The idea is the same as for the plugins, we’re trying to pinpoint the cause of this issue.

It’s to try to find the problem area. If you disable all plugins and still encounter this problem then we know the plugins aren’t at fault. The opposite would mean that you have a plugin creating a conflict with your session or your login. In this case disable your plugins one by one until you find which one is causing this problem.

At this point it’s impossible to know what’s causing it, so by scoping down the problem we can have a better idea of what’s going on.

Can’t you find the template file required and modify the query arguments to retrieve 40 instead of 25 posts? i don’t think 25 is the default, so it must be defined within the code.

When using WordPress.com and creating a new user, does that user need to confirm by email before that account can be used?

Can you post both the correct link (the link the title should link to) and your code for the title (including the anchor)?

You might want to check that you have a single.php template file in your theme, or else your post defaults to index.php for its theming (see here). Also, check that your get_permalink().

When you include an image in a post or page through WordPress’ editor, it automatically wraps the image in an anchor tag pointing to either the image source or a listing of images (i think this is it in your case). To remove the anchor, you can do one of the following:

1- in the HTML editor, you can manually remove the anchor tags around your images.

2- When including images, and you are in your image interface (before clicking on ‘insert image’ button), you can remove the link value. Putting its value to empty will remove the link.

If you want to edit the template file of those images, check this link. I believe that what you are looking for is attachment.php. Have a look at the other template files types available at the same level of attachment.php in case you want to scope down the template. At the moment, you’re either taking in the default attachment.php file or it’s defaulting to your index.php.

Oh well, as far as .htaccess files go, I’ve been able to accomplish this in the past with a WordPress installation having no .htaccess. If you’ve set up your installation with an .htaccess, then I’m not sure if you’d need to create a routing rule or not.

I promise you’re best off spending your time learning abit of PHP than spending your time asking questions around the support site. AS I remember, the tutorial i sent you is pretty entry-level in that it’ll help you learn PHP at the same time.

A good reference point for PHP is this site I always refer myself to. This might help you out aswell.

Ok thanks marventus.

The no editable default template you’re talking about is WordPress’ fail-safe template. This is used when no custom template is defined in your custom theme (as you’ll see in the tutorial.

Once you read abit through the tutorial, you’ll understand that you need to modify the page.php template file to modify the default template style for pages. For posts, it’s single.php.

Seems like you need to invest a few hours in learning the developer’s side of WordPress. Here’s a tutorial that brought me up to speed in a few hours. It will give you the basics of the template structure in WordPress and it’s coding:

here

After you’ve followed a tutorial on templates, have a look at this link, it’s the template file hierarchy for WordPress themes. It’ll help you understand why pages/posts revert to the default template and how to make theme changes specific to post types and categories.

Good luck!

WordPress comes with a function that would do just that, no?

see here.

I hope I’m not mistaking that the above filter modifies the body_class() function so you’ll need to include this function in your body tag as so:

<body <?php body_class();?>></body>

If I understand correctly, this is the file structure you want to achieve:

root/wp-content/
root/wp-includes/
root/wp-admin/
root/shop/

Yes, this is possible without any modifications to WordPress. WordPress does not look/validate for files that it doesn’t need, so you wouldn’t be breaking the CMS build by adding your extra folder.

However, realize that this new folder is out of the scope of WordPress, so don’t expect it to have access to WordPress functionalities (someone correct me if I’m wrong here).

Oops, yes in the functions.php. misread ??

please refer to the codex. it’s located in wp-includes/post-template.php.
