   Hi, weird problem-when someone clicks on a post link, they see all the posts (in the "values" category, that is). Please see:

   and click on one of the links on the left side.

   I think there's something seriously wrong in your theme as a whole. Many of the links on your top nav are pointing to files in /wp-content/themes/

   Perhaps you need to review Theme_Development?

   esmi, can you be more specific? I don't see any links with href's containing /wp-content/themes in the nav div...

   My single.php file is as simple as can be:

   <?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

   and it's definitely being called by the single blog posts.

   All from your top nav bar (going from right to left).

   OK, links are fixed-any ideas about why single.php isn't working?

   Are you running more than one Loop using something like query_posts (perhaps in the sidebar)? That could be messing up the Loop in single.php - especially if you've forgotten to use wp_reset_query between the Loops.

   Thanks esmi; I'm not using a sidebar per se, it's built into header.php:
   Here's what I have there:

   <?php
   query_posts('category_name=values&showposts=5');
   while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
   <div class="postEntry" >
   <div class="date">
   <?php the_date('m/d/y');?>
   </div><!-- end date  -->
   <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="title"><?php the_title();?></a>
   <p><?php excerpt('25'); //content excerpt plugin function ?>
   </div></p>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   That may be the problem. Ideally, you should be using get_posts for secondary Loops but you might be able to get away with simply using wp_reset_query() after the Loop in header.php.

   Also have a look at this Codex page on multiple Loops.

    Thanks esmi-that did it! I added wp_reset_query() right after endwhile; and now it's right on.
    I'll definitely look over the codex, I need to get more familiar with this stuff...
