    Hi all,

    you can see in the above post that my nav bar is missing. Yet if you go to my big-blogs page (1 level up), or home page (2 levels up) it displays fine. I don't understand it because all three pages call out the header, which is the same.

    Please can someone help. I've had this problem for months now. I've got a feeling it's soemthing to do with my permalinks but not sure.

    Thanks in advance

    Here is the source code for my archives page:

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: archive
    */
    ?>
    
    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <!-- container start -->
    	<div id="container">
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <!-- content start -->
    		<div id="content">
    		<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
    			<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    			<div class="post_top_frame"></div>
    			<div class="post">

    i can see the nav bar on the archive page, but without the graphics.
    the graphics only show on the home page.
    reason is probably the relative file path you have used.

    <li><a href="http://www.thebreadcrumbtrail.org"><img alt="Home" border="0" src="./wp-content/themes/Breadcrumb trail/images/pngs/home.png" /></a></li>

    try and replace:
    src="./wp-content/themes/Breadcrumb trail/images/pngs/home.png"

    with:
    src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/pngs/home.png"

    Great alchymyth!

    Thanks so much. That resolved the header issue. Similar issue with the sidebar. Can you help me?

    You'll see on all my main pages, on the left hand side there is the title of the page and a mini description on the graphic of a noticeboard. For example: Big Blogs
    "You're at my blog main page. Here you can follow my journey as it happens and view all archived posts to follow the journey so far."

    I would like to feature a different one on each of my archives page. i.e. relate the sidebar to a unique post (which I can edit on the backend)
    For example: http://www.thebreadcrumbtrail.org/archives/category/travel-australia

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    James
