    Hi Guys

    I am attempting to code a wordpress theme (i.e. create a working theme for wordpress). Here is the Site

    I am having trouble with certain things and I'd greatly appreciate any help.

    1) Why aren't certain images showing in the Sidebar and Footer, when the images are present in the images folder.

    2) How can I truncate the post content being displayed ? when I use [ the_content() ] it shows all the content of the post !

    I'd greatly appreciate some help with this.

    Thank You Very Much.

    Ciwan

    1) you need to upload the images here
    /images/rssFeed.jpg
    replace the present url's in the theme from
    http://www.kurduol.com/#
    to where the images are
    http://www.kurduol.com/images/rssFeed.jpg
    for the 1st - follow this for the 2nd
    http://www.kurduol.com/images/newsletter.jpg
    and 3rd
    http://www.kurduol.com/images/twitterlink.jpg

    2)replace
    the_content()
    with
    the_excerpt()

    Thank You So Much Samboll, that did the job wonderfully :)

    On the theme I'm working on, the Search field is not in the Sidebar, rather it is in the Header file. I am following This Tutorial to get my theme working (scroll down to the Sidebar section to see the Search field solution)

    3) When I do what that tutorial tells me to do, that is:

    " Replace the <form id=searchform> wrap with <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>. " ... quote from tutorial

    My site all gets messy as you can see.

    I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Thank You

    Hi

    Sorry guys I figured it out. I had to create the searchform.php and copy it to the theme folder.

    Thank You once again :)
