   Someone else designed and set up our wordpress site and I'm a bit of a novice with wordpress and html. We have a broken link on our homepage that I cannot fix. There is a gray box on our homepage with some text and a "more" link - when you click on "more," you get a 404 error. I think the gray box is a widget, but it's not in our list of active or inactive widgets. I have no idea how to fix this problem. Any advice about where to start is greatly appreciated!

   Can you share the URL? We're shootin' blind.

   Of course - I'm new to the forum, so thanks for letting me know you need more information:-)

   Our web address is http://www.rebuildingtogether-twincities.org. The little gray box has a heading that says "Current Projects" (bottom right next to the "media gallery").

   Okay. The broken link is http://www.rebuildingtogether-twincities.org/?p=329

   The CORRECT URL is http://www.rebuildingtogether-twincities.org/?page_id=114

   Looking at the source of your page, that's part of the Current Project Module. <!-- Current Project Module Starts Here --> Does that sound like somethign your theme has?

   Yes - in the Main Index Template of the theme:

   <!--  Current Project Module Starts Here -->
     <div class="current_p_wrapper">
       <div class="current_p_top"></div>
       <div class="current_p_mid">
         <div class="content">
           <div class="heading_c">Current projects</div>
           <?php
   					 $querystr_cp = "
   						SELECT <code>post_content</code>, ID,post_title
   						FROM <code>wp_posts</code>
   						WHERE <code>post_parent</code> =114
   						ORDER BY <code>post_date</code> DESC
   						LIMIT 1
   					 ";
   					 $pageposts_cp = $wpdb->get_results($querystr_cp, OBJECT);
   				     if ($pageposts_cp):
   		              foreach ($pageposts_cp as $post):
   		                setup_postdata($post); ?>
           <span class="bluetext"><b>
           <?php the_title(); ?>
           </b></span>
           <?php $content_project = get_the_content();
   							      $words_project = explode(' ', $content_project);
                                    echo $home_projects = implode(' ', array_slice($words_project, 0, 25)); ?>
           <div align="right"><a>" class="green_cp">more ></a>
             <?php endforeach;
   		            endif; ?>
   
           </div>
         </div>
   	<div class="current_p_bottom"></div>
       </div>
       <!--  Current Project Module Starts Here -->
   
     </div>

   Yeah you can't just post code in the forums without using the code tag (see the button on the message menu? it makes a BACKTICK, not <code> tags).

   Basically this section:

   <?php $content_project = get_the_content();
   							      $words_project = explode(' ', $content_project);
                                    echo $home_projects = implode(' ', array_slice($words_project, 0, 25)); ?>
           <div align="right"><a>" class="green_cp">more ></a>

   I think that last line is what's wrong but I'm PRETTY sure that's not actually what it looks like.
