Somebody?? Anybody?

Thanx James.

Hi James.

Thanx for the response.

Actually, I forgot to mention, that I am hosted on a Windows server.

Does this change what you said in any way?

Is it still as dangerous to allow everyone read/write access this way??

Thanx,

–wpf.

Thank you very much.

That was it!!!!!

Thank you so much for your time.

Warm Regards,

Gisha James:

I have no idea how to do this. What I want is if I have made a post sticky that it be NOT included when the other posts are being shown after the sticky post. I don’t want the sticky post displayed twice.

Here is the code to home.php.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content"><!-- begin content -->

<h2 class="title">Latest Ramblings</h2>

<div class="home"><!-- begin home -->

		<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); // this shows the latest post you have written ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
		<h3>by <?php the_author() ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> | Filed under: <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></h3>
				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content('continue reading'); ?>
				</div>
			<?php if (function_exists('the_tags')) { the_tags('<p>Tags: ', ', ', '</p>'); } ?>
			<?php edit_post_link('[edit]', '<p class="edit">', '</p>'); ?>
		</div>
			<?php endwhile; ?>
			<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div><!-- end home -->

<div class="spacer"></div> <!-- the hr below the first post -->

<div class="recentposts"><!-- begin recent posts -->

		<?php query_posts("offset=1"); // you can chage how many posts are shown through your WordPress dashboard = settings = reading ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<div class="repost" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
		<p class="repostmetadata">by <?php the_author() ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> | Filed under: <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?><br/>
    	<?php if(function_exists("the_tags")) the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ''); ?></p>
		<?php the_content('continue reading'); ?> <!-- Added to include the FULL post -->
		<?php edit_post_link('[edit]', '<p class="edit">', '</p>'); ?>

		</div>
		<?php endwhile; ?>

</div><!-- end recent posts-->

</div> <!-- end begin content -->

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/left.php");?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/right.php");?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Can you please help??

Thanx,

Hello James:

Thanx for the response.

Isn’t that dangerous to give READ/WRITE access to everyone???

Or is it that is the way WP is built and the only way to do it is as you described changing the file permissions to the Theme files…..????

(I cannot use FTP/SFTP client at the moment.)

Thanx,

–wpf.

Thank you so much for your help.

That worked exactly like I needed it.

Regards,

–wpf.

So I can NEVER use the Sticky Post feature as it will ALWAYS display the same post twice???

Can I not change the code that I have included above, to get me where I want….???

–wpf.

Can anyone help please??

I am convinced that it is an issue with writing to a specific folder.

I am using the theme called “Ships Ahoy!”.

Which folders need to be write-enabled so that this problem goes away?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

–wpf.

Hi.

Thanx for the response.

I applied your suggestion. If I enter another post, it does show the whole post now. But the next post (older) is displayed as only the Title.

Any ideas??

Hi. Thanx for the response.

And this is the code for home.php.

		<h3>by <?php the_author() ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> | Filed under: <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></h3>
				<div class="entry">

</div><!-- end home -->

<div class="spacer"></div> <!-- the hr below the first post -->

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/left.php");?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/right.php");?>

Any ideas.
