# Please help! Single post showing multiple posts

 * When I click on the permanent link for any of the posts on my site, the individual
   page shows all posts, not just the one it should be showing. I have turned off
   all widgets, reinstalled the theme, and even reinstalled wordpress, but it still
   reverts to this. It will load as normal for a while but the dates on the main
   page will disappear. Then it will revert to this error but the dates will be 
   fine.
 * You can view the error here: [http://www.thegildedpen.com](http://www.thegildedpen.com)
 * Any help? Is this a wordpress 2.6 error? Thanks!

 * Your code is messed up.
    I did not see any errors, the site is doing exactly 
   what you have coded.
 * Since your main page has the dates hard coded they will never change. So if you
   click on a post it goes to another page that displays exactly the same stuff 
   as your main page, except there are no dates. So poof they disappear.
 * Your subsequent pages are only displaying what you have hard coded on that page.
   It’s as if you have no posting system at all. Just hard coded repeating information.
 * Compare your source code for each page. Also WordPress does not use a separate
   page for each post, the posts are only held under categories.
 * Basically the same page is filled with info from your database every time a link
   is clicked. You seem to have bypassed this.
 * I truly hope this makes sense, I got confused myself trying to figure it out!

 * I think I understand what you’re getting at. Now I just have to figure out what
   I did to fix it.
 * Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

 * Ok, so I’m using the same codes the default wordpress theme, but I still get 
   the same problem. The default wordpress theme does not give me the multiple posts,
   but mine does despite the fact that I am using the default theme. Any suggestions?

 * Do you have a single.php for your theme? Did you use the default theme’s single.
   php code?

 * Yup. I had set up my own then tried the default but I still get the same error.
   I re-did my index with the code from ‘default’ as well as page.php but I still
   get the same error.

 * I may have figured it out. I think the problem is the coding in my sidebar.php
   file that is called before the main layout…
