    im trying to get a wordpress theme set up to where all pages look like the default single.php page, it shows the post, the comments (if any) and then a comment form. and plus the previous post and next post links (if applicable). so i’ve gotten it to at least get rid of the sidebars but i cant make it show only one post.

    i took out the while loop but wordpress is telling me i have an error now. you can see here : http://www.4dpvirus.com/ri/

    any help would be appreciated,thanks

    It will not work as you want. Index is index, and single is single.

    so there is no possible earthly way to do this or you just dont know how? cause i really want to make my theme like this and saying that doesnt really help me much at all.

    rogueslg71, it is possible to display a single entry on the home page (index.php) and also the “next” and “previous” links, although I don’t think you can display the comment form or comments on the home page.

    I have seen it done on some photoblog sites but you need a customized Loop for that. I am not a coder…
    Out of the box WP will never let you to have comments on the frontpage. The “help” was intended to save you the headache.

    i’ve got the comment form to display on the home page now,

    now im just trying to work on displaying the comments, according to comments.php there is nothing that looks at what type of page it is to determine whether or not to display the comments (or thats what i think so far) so does anyone know why this loop wont go through??

    thanks for any help.

    You can edit your own posts only for a short period after posting. I can’t remember how long… but after that there is no possibility to edit it.
