Any help at all would be appreciated….
Does anyone else have a page that displays their most recent subject lines?

Success! When you mentioned the OPENING comment tag it tipped me off that there must be such a thing as a CLOSING comment tag. Yep, I never looked beyond the opening tag. Seems like I still think we are in the world of COBOL or BASIC. Thank you for all your help.

Commenting those 2 lines prevented the page from loading. Message: Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/content/d/e/l/delcospca/html/cms/wp-content/themes/mytheme/index.php on line 46

No harm done. Any more ideas?

Thanks for the reply. I am going to paste the content from the index.php located in our custom theme/template. Pardon all the gibberish code, but this is a hopeless situation for me. Does any of this help?

Good try guys, but none of the posts were sticky, and every post already has the same category (news). I found that I can mark the newest post sticky and it shows up ahead of the 2 old posts. I even tried to sticky and unsticky the old, unwanted posts to no avail. Any other ideas? Is there any way I might be instructing WP to present the 2 OLDEST posts?

Thanks, but no luck. I also unchecked where it says to “Convert emoticons like ?? and ?? to graphics on display” under Settings> Writing.

Wow! Whoever you are, you just saved my ass. Everything is fine now. See my WordPress stuff under the What’s Happening header on the home page: delcospca.org
