wes.billmanHello All,
I'm new to WP (moving from drupal) and I'm trying to build a new theme. Things are going very well (so easy with WP), but I have ran into a snag. I started from a blank theme and follow some documentation and examples to build a new theme. Long story short the theme is looking how I want, but when I click on a link to a single post I get a bunch of posts.
I have something like a recent posts list that just shows recent post from a certain category. When I click on one of the items in that list the URL matches the post that I want to see, but when I run "The Loop" on the index.php I get multiple posts.
Site can be viewed here. http://lightofdaystudios.com/wp/
Try clicking on a link in the sidebar to see the issue.
<?php
get_header();
get_sidebar();
?>
<div class="content">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> at <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?> | <?php comments_number('No comment', '1 comment', '% comments'); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<h2>Woops...</h2>
Sorry, no posts we're found.
