   I am having a tad bit of trouble with showing the FULL ARTICLE on this main page:

   http://www.foxvalleyshows.com/new/index.php

   Here is the snidbit of code that I am using:

   <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&offset=0&category=3'); foreach($posts as $post){ ?>
   <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>
   <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php the_content();} ?>

   I have tried removing the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> code but then only the title shows. So I am assuming that I have something wrong with the code or my settings in WP. But I can't find anything relevant to this situation.

   Maybe there is a setting about a limit of text per posts in a ".php" file??

   Any help would be fantastic...

   Why do you have "}" in the_content tag?

   Insert this bit after the foreach:

   foreach($posts as $post){
setup_postdata($post); ?>

   Thanks everyone! Kaf that worked out great:) The "}" was just a type-o on my part, but now that works great :)

   Do any of you know how to CHANGE the TIMESTAMP function? I noticed that when I added a bunch of entries and changed the timestamp that now those posts will only show on that DATE and TIME. But I wanted to use the time stamp as a way of organizing my posts. Would this be a plugin issue or is there a file I need to alter?

   Thanks again!

   Ok here is what I WANT to do:

   I post a show Today for NEXT WEEKEND. I want that show to get organized by date to fit in with the other current listings. Is there a way to sort by DATE or by CATEGORY ID?

   My thing is that I have a lot of SHOWS listed here:

   http://www.foxvalleyshows.com/new/shows.php

   I want to show visitors these shows AHEAD of time so they can plan on going to them. But say if someone wants another show posted between 2 existing shows? That makes me think that sorting by category ID is NOT going to work.

   So is there any way of sorting by the TIMESTAMP? I mean the data is there, as I will change the timestamp for each new post, so there has to be a way of using that data to organize the POSTS right??

   Maybe there is a simpler fix to this, any help from you guys/gals would be wonderful:)

   I did find this post:

   http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=HowToChangeSortOrder

   But that only sorts the actual WP index.php page and not any other page. So you guys can see that I am definately trying to figure this out on my own, but nothing is working.

   I even took this code:

   $orderby="date"; $order='ASC';

   and placed it on my shows.php page on top like this:

   <?php $orderby="date"; $order='ASC'; require('./news/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>

   But that didn't work either.

   I using this code under the Upcoming Shows section on all of my pages:

   <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=40&offset=0&category=1'); foreach($posts as $post){ ?>
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php the_content();} ?>

   I am using this code under the main section of my shows page:

   <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=40&offset=0&category=1'); foreach($posts as $post){ ?>

   <?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>

   <h3>
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   <br>
   <span class="upcoming">
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   </span> </h3>
   <?php the_content();} ?>

   You can view the actual page here:

   http://www.foxvalleyshows.com/new/shows.php

   I am just trying to sort the listings better...
