thank you.

I did find my original download afterall. I opened the file: sidebar.php and replaced the code. Now, I have nothing in my sidebar at all except a search box.

I still can’t get beyond the downloading the sidebar.php part. It’s probably obvious to you but not to me. I will learn from this lesson to save my code before I start playing with it again. I just like to write…not so good at the technology aspect but I guess I’ll learn eventually.

Unfortunately that is not in my realm of comprehension. Like I said on the other post the duplication was an accident and I don’t see a place to redownload the default sidebar.php. I see a place to edit it. I was hoping there was a code I could copy, paste and save so I could start over.

I know. It was an accident. The first time I posted i got a response that said something like “no search met your criteria” so I figured I didn’t really post anything.

I don’t see an option for Upload or Replace. I just see where I can edit or update. Where do I go to get the original code?

How can I revert to the default sidebar and start over?

I think I need to do this. How do you find the “default ones”?

Just for fun I put this code:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Right before the get_footer code because that the way it is on the page template. It made the sidebar show up but it’s underneath everything, not along the side of the post like I want it to be.

Here’s a sample:

Am I on the right track?

jeromyboyd…I’m trying to follow you. I went to my single post template. I’m having a hard time knowing exactly what the “important part/loop for single post” is.

Here is my code, can you tell me where the “loop” part starts and ends?

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”>

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

<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php previous_post_link(‘« %link’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php next_post_link(‘%link »’) ?></div>
</div>

<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this entry »</p>’); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages(array(‘before’ => ‘<p>Pages: ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>
<?php the_tags( ‘<p>Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘</p>’); ?>

<p class=”postmetadata alt”>
