Ok I fixed all bar a couple of CSS errors and all but a couple of validation errors but i still have a footer issue. On smaller monitors, the footer text drops under each other and the footer block of colour scrolls off the side.. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply alchymyth 🙂

The exclude parameter worked 🙂 but the paged thing didn’t. It still shows the same page over and over again no matter how many times you press previous posts .. very confusing. Should the ‘paged’ query go before the query_posts or after? I tried it before and it came up with a php error on the call_footer.

bump! please help me with this.. its driving me crazy!

Not really fixed.. now back to a previous error.. which means that the first post always displays.. Its not a plug in issue 🙁 as it does the same when I disable all plugins.. It must be something to do with the code i’m using to call the post.. I just don’t know.

<?php get_header(); ?>

            	<div class="block_inside">
                    <div class="text_block">
                        <div class="hellotext"><?php $posts = get_posts( "category=1&numberposts=1&order=DES" ); ?>

	<img class="imagespacer"
                        <?php
$szPostContent = $post->post_content;
$szSearchPattern =  '/src="(.*?)"/';

// Run preg_match_all to grab all the images and save the results in $aPics
preg_match_all( $szSearchPattern, $szPostContent, $aPics );

// Check to see if we have at least 1 image
$iNumberOfPics = count($aPics[0]);

if ( $iNumberOfPics > 0 ) {
   // Now here you would do whatever you need to do with the images
   // For this example the images are just displayed
   for ( $i=0; $i < $iNumberOfPics ; $i++ ) {
        echo $aPics[0][$i];
   };

Ok I resorted to installing version 2.8.6 and still there are the same issues! Is this something to do with the `<?php $posts = get_posts( “category=10&numberposts=1” ); ?>
<?php if( $posts ) : ?> <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>` loop? As I read on another post that someone fixed it by removing that element. Though how I get a post to call just from a single category without that loop I don’t know.

Any Ideas?
