that plugin is great! Thanks, Moshu. It actually solves the issue, but brings to light another problem that I have with that section. In the index.php file, I have assigned categories to those spots. The code looks like this:

// “Featured articles” module begins
query_posts(‘showposts=6&cat=array(3514,1165,3516,3507,1090)&offset=1’); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”feature”><?php if (function_exists(‘get_cat_icon’)) get_cat_icon(); ?> ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); echo ‘/’; echo get_option(‘upload_path’); echo ‘/’;

The problem is that some of the posts in the featured articles are not from any of these categories. How can I have one article from each of those categories displayed in the featured articles section?

I figured it out – I was using the same category as the lead story and the featured articles showed up after they were no longer lead stories.

Thanks.

this is the script from the index.php file that shows the featured articles on the main page:

// “Featured articles” module begins
query_posts(‘showposts=6&cat=3933&offset=1’); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”feature”> ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); echo ‘/’; echo get_option(‘upload_path’); echo ‘/’;
// this is where the custom field prints images for each Feature
$values = get_post_custom_values(“featured-article-image”); echo $values[1]; ?>” alt=”image” /> ” rel=”bookmark” class=”title”>
<?php

How do I get the images to display?

Wow, thanks.

I found WP youtube for embedding video, so i will go through and replace my videos using that as I learn some more about fixing the other stuff.

Thanks so much for responding and for your advice.

I will be checking out the xhtml link and learning my way around.

It may just be taking some time for Google to re-index the site, since our switch only happened about two months ago. The new posts are getting indexed to some degree.

Well, I better get to work. I have a lot of code to fix.
