Thanks for your response. I appreciate it.

I want the title to span the 850px and to have the post text on the left and the sidebar to the right, next to the post text. Is there something else I could do to accomplish this?

Thank you!

Thank you for your help Michael. It didn’t work and I know there is a bunch wrong with the code. I realized it would be safe to avoid using the date because it won’t matter. All that matters is whether or not a post has a ‘lead_image’ custom field or not. Here’s the code from the top of the loop. What am I doing wrong?

<?php
  wp_reset_query();
  if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
<?php $lead_image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'lead_image', true); ?>

<div id="single" class="single-narrow">
  <div class="post post-single">
		<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

      <?php if (strlen($wpzoom_ad_content_imgpath) > 1 && $wpzoom_ad_content_select == 'Yes' && $wpzoom_ad_content_pos == 'Before') { echo '<div class="sep">&nbsp;</div><div class="banner">'.stripslashes($wpzoom_ad_content_imgpath)."</div>"; }?>      

	 <div class="content_top-<?php if(get_the_time('Y')<='2009' && $lead_image == 'false') echo 'no_header'; ?>">
       <div class="wrap">
       		<img src="<?php echo $lead_image; ?>" alt="Image for Post #<?php the_ID(); ?>" />

			<div class="title">
     			<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/brownlens.png" alt="Lens Icon" width="43px" height="56px" class="lens" />
      			<h1 class="spt"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
      			<p id="title_data">in <span class="category"><?php the_category(', '); ?></span> by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> <span class="datetime"> &mdash; <?php the_time("$dateformat \a\\t $timeformat"); ?></span> | <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#commentspost" title="Jump to the comments"><?php comments_number('0 comments','1 comment','% comments'); ?></a><?php edit_post_link( __('Edit'), ' | ', ''); ?></p>
      		</div><!-- end title -->
     	</div>
      </div>

				<div class="sep">&nbsp;</div>

        <?php the_content(''); ?>

Sounds good to me.

In addition to the posts from 2009 and earlier having ‘style a’, I need to also give posts that don’t have the lead_image custom field value to have ‘style a’ as well.

I have a posts from 2010, but there is no ‘lead_image’ custom field associated with it so I need it to have the style that earlier posts do.

Can I add something like (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'books', true)): in there somewhere? (I tried that bit and it didn’t work at all.) As you can tell I don’t know php.

Thank you for any help.

I did copy over what was in the duplicate query posts. Was that the right way to do it?

Initially I had a template called entertainment.php and a few things were going wrong, especially with page-navi so I deactivated the plugin. Another problem I was having is that the next page link wasn’t working…it would just refresh the current page.

What I ended up doing was renaming the template category-3.php and I got it to work but haven’t activated page-navi yet. I would like to know why it worked when I renamed the template.

I have a lot to learn. 🙂

Thanks for your help.

Anyone? How do I separate the text from the content images?
