Search Google. That’s not a WordPress issue.

Or maybe right…. or maybe not at all… lol I’m getting tired. ??

It looks like it’s “still” trying to float, to me. If there’s any float: left; (that relates to the main body) REMOVE THAT!

I’ve had this problem. What I do is change it in the actual textarea code, for some reason I was dumb with not being able to work it in CSS.

In the textarea, try

cols=”30″ rows=”10″

or cols=”#%” rows=”10″

etc.

First of all, do you pay for your own hosting?

Two threads – both very bad titles. You’ll be lucky to get help.

Post the code showing your LOOP in index, please.

I don’t see this as a major complication. No one’s dying, breathe! He he. I understand you want fast loading and correct code though.

You know I just hate how WP CSS code is ORGANIZED! I’d like just ONE

#narrowcolumn

etc. and not all separated by categories. It DOES seem bloated, and it’s hard to find things, sometimes I change something and it doesn’t work because it’s fighting something different in the same tag thing. Sigh.

If I didn’t run so many blogs, I’d streamline them. I do wish to publish my own CSS only semi-theme for WP in the future, an intuitive, clean one.

But you can’t wait for me to do that, he he.

You should probably stick the POST code from the index into your sidebar template. Maybe changing it from the_content to the_excerpt. And maybe make it a wide sidebar. ??

Then just have fun with the narrow/widecolumn area, I guess!

I’d like to see the finished product, he he.

Congrats! (mark this as resolved?)

BTW, I strongly recommend NOT putting “Sorry I didn’t post yesterday” as your excerpt (it’s even not suggested to start off your post) because that’s all the feed readers will see.

A way to do what you want is with custom fields. If you’re interested, I’ll hunt down a plugin, or you can find one yourself. It displays custom fields data. (Is it a plugin or just code, though, hmmm? I used it on a client’s site. Just do a search here on www.remarpro.com.)

So how DO you display a special/separate excerpt along with the full post???

I put mine in the loop, but my code is

<p><strong>Related Entry:</strong>
<?php related_posts(1, 0, '', '', false, false); ?></p>

No wp23_ does that mean I have an older version? I have the current WP and my version works. Hm. Perhaps try mine?

As for WHERE IN the loop, mine is um.. after comments on the index and after categories in single…. so ya know.. near the end, but it shouldn’t matter.

Call me crazy, but could it be this easy.. (I don’t know where you got the code, if you wrote it yourself, I see hope)

Could you replace

"<li><a href=\"index.php?p=%s\">%s</a></li>"

with

<li><a href=\"' . <?php the_permalink() ?> . '\">%s</a></li>

Forgot the code backtips first time around. Hope you didn’t see that mess. I may be a tad bit off, but you can figure it out!

index.php?p=%s\

That’s your problem. Is there an option where you got the code for writing that part differently?

Oh do you want #1 full post, and the rest, excerpts? That’s a bit trickier…

You’d use the plugin twice, with an offset for the rest, set it to the number you’d normally have then, minus one, like 9.

That’s the easiest way.

Still you have to style it to look like regular post excerpts, but I think it CAN be done. Otherwise you have to get into more complicated Query Posts.

Another feature I can’t live without.
