   Hi all
   I have included the following code into my site's index page;

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   require('./wp/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   While it does include the posts....it's not displaying them properly.

   Example post entry:
   Hi there.
   How are you?
   I am fine.

   In reality I had entered the post with a space between each line;
   Hi there.

   How are you?

   I am fine.

   It's like it's not picking up any html coding for some reason. Anyone have any ideas? I have a site to launch like yesterday and can not until I figure out this problem.

   Thanks for all the help

   WordPress removes empty paragraph tags between paragraphs (correct code behavior). If you want more space between your paragraphs, adjust it with css in your theme's style.css.

   Are you using the_excerpt() to pull the content?

   Im just using the code above. It's like it's not reading the CSS for some reason. When I view the post from the wp directory it's fine and perfect.

   Here is my complete code: I just added the Start and End code

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
   require('./wp/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>
   <?
   include('header.php');
   ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
   <!-- Start the Loop. -->
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
    <!-- The following tests if the current post is in category 3. -->
    <!-- If it is, the div box is given the CSS class "post-cat-three". -->
    <!-- Otherwise, the div box will be given the CSS class "post". -->
    <?php if ( in_category('3') ) { ?>
              <div class="post-cat-three">
    <?php } else { ?>
              <div class="post">
    <?php } ?>
   
    <!-- Display the Title as a link to the Post's permalink. -->
    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
    <!-- Display the Post's Content in a div box. -->
    <div class="entry">
      <?php the_content(); ?>
    </div>
   
    </div> <!-- closes the first div box -->
   
    <!-- Stop The Loop (but note the "else:" - see next line). -->
    <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
    <!-- The very first "if" tested to see if there were any Posts to -->
    <!-- display.  This "else" part tells what do if there weren't any. -->
    <p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
   
    <!-- REALLY stop The Loop. -->
    <?php endif; ?>
   
   </div>
   
   <?
   
   include('footer.php');
   ?>

   If I set the define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); to true it doesn't do anything except make a duplicate entry on my index page....for the life of me I just can't get it to call on the wp's theme css...
