Hi there -
I'm working on some custom code for a client's sidebar. It shows up exactly the way I want it on the FIRST bullet, but everything after that doesn't show up correctly (i.e. the little yellow icon is missing and text is not indented). Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
You can find a visual at: http://www.theretailersadvantage.net.previewdns.com/
Here's the code... thanks in advance for your help!
<ul id="sidebarwidgeted">
<li id="upcoming-events">
<h2>Upcoming Events</h2>
- <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=4&showposts=4"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?><b>
" rel="bookmark" style="color:#a32400;"><?php the_title(); ?></b> <?php the_content_limit(70, "[More...]"); ?>
<div style="border-bottom:1px dotted #2255AA; margin-bottom:10px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

CORRECTION... the code I pasted above didn't show up correctly. I'm trying it again...
<ul id="sidebarwidgeted">
<li id="upcoming-events">
<h2>Upcoming Events</h2>
<ul>
<li><?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=4&showposts=4"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?><b>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" style="color:#a32400;"><?php the_title(); ?></a></b> <?php the_content_limit(70, "[More...]"); ?>
<div style="border-bottom:1px dotted #2255AA; margin-bottom:10px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>
</li>
</ul>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Update to ..
<ul id="sidebarwidgeted">
<li id="upcoming-events">
<h2>Upcoming Events</h2>
<?php
$recent = new WP_Query("cat=4&showposts=4");
if($recent->have_posts()) :
?>
<ul>
<?php while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<li>
<strong><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" style="color:#a32400;"><?php the_title(); ?></a></strong>
<?php the_content_limit(70, "[More...]"); ?>
<div style="border-bottom:1px dotted #2255AA; margin-bottom:10px; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
</li>
</ul>
I'm not sure if you just failed to post the surrounding code, so i've added closing tags where appropriate.

FABULOUS! That's it... I just forgot to do the closing tags! How silly!
Thanks SOOO much for your help! My eyes get tired after looking at code for so long. It's nice to have friends in this forum who can give it a fresh look.
Have a great weekend!
