 * I’m getting so aggravated! I don’t know how to proceed… I have just converted
   my site to themes after using skins for some time, but in the conversion i’ve
   noticed that some of my pages won’t co-operate now that they’ve been themed. 
   I used to use php dynamic inclusion which was great in grouping each category’s
   subpages together in one single file, but to get the pages to work with the theme
   i’ve had to chop all the pages up individually. I’ve used EZStatic to get my 
   external pages to fit into my theme but it’s still not perfect & i don’t know
   how to fix it. The 2 current problem pages are:
    [http://little-girl-lost.org/index.php?page=plugboard](http://little-girl-lost.org/index.php?page=plugboard)–
   if you try to submit a button to the plugboard it comes back saying ‘invalid 
   usage’ which i should mention only happens from WITHIN my WP theme [http://little-girl-lost.org/index.php?page=fanlistings](http://little-girl-lost.org/index.php?page=fanlistings)–
   which looks okay except that the actual # of links is missing & when you click
   on a category the theme disappears. I’m almost ready to ditch all my very hard
   work in coverting to themes & go back to what i know, but i’m hoping that someone
   out there has some sort of solution for me. 🙂

 * Is the PHP code coded within the template itself? Or have you included with within
   an entry?
 * If it’s coded within the source code of the page then I’m not sure I can help,
   but if you’ve included the PHP code when typing the content into the content 
   box within the WordPress entries screen ( I mean where you type in the content
   for posts etc.) then you’ll need a plugin in order to run it. Try [RunPHP](http://www.nosq.com/2004/10/runphp-wordpress-plugin/)
   or [PHP Exec](http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/03/02/wordpress-php-exec-plugin/).
