 * Hi, I have the following in my script.
 * >  <div class=”post” id=”image-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
   > </h3>
   >  <span><?php comments_popup_link(‘0’, ‘1’, ‘%’); ?></span>
   >  <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
   >  <div class=”clear”></div>
   >  </div><!– Item Div –>
   >  <?php endwhile; ?>
   >  <div class=”clear”></div>
 * However, when the script below is present, the text box keeps on repeating within
   the div and so fort. However, when it is not present, all the text boxs have 
   there own individual text boxes and it is neat.
 * > <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>

 * We don’t understand what you mean. Perhaps a link to your site showing the problem
   would explain it better.

 * OK. Here is what I just noticed. When even I add the
 * > <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
 * It adds a div tag but no closing tag. The div will be like
 * > <div id=”lipsum”><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consecte and so on informataion
   > <p>
 * And that is why it keeps repeating within the same area. But how do I stop wordpress
   from adding the div called <div id=”lipsum”>?

 * Please help. My problem is almost resolved. I just need to find out how to stop
   wordpress from creating
    <div id=”lipsum”> without a closing tag everytime I 
   put <?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>

 * Sounds to me like the div is actually in the content of your post itself. Edit
   your post to remove the div.
