Howdy Jo,
First, my bad: I should have encouraged you to post code using PasteBin (anything more than, say, 10 lines)
http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code

Again, my bad.

Second, I didn’t mean changing your CSS file.
The actual page template file is what needs change (from what I can tell.)

My best guess is it’s the single.php file. (you’re building from some sandbox theme, right?)

If you don’t see what I mean in single.php — or whatever template file is serving up your home page — paste the template file in pastebin, put the pastebin URL here in a reply, and I’ll check it out, fix it, and tell you how I fixed it (uh… assuming I actually get it fixed…)

Thanks,
Paul

Hey Jo,

You probably need to put the div#primary back inside the div#container.
Right now it comes after the #container is already closed.

If it is in Appearance > Menu (on the right side) you can delete it from the menu. Click the “Posts” page there on the right side of the Appearance > Menu screen, and the dialog will open down. One of the options there is “delete.” Go ahead and click that.

This ONLY deletes it from the menu — it won’t delete the page from your site.

Let me know if that’s not clear.

Do other widgets show for your home page?
Is your static home page using a certain page template?
It is possible the template used for your static home page does not show any sidebars, or at least not the sidebar you are after.

Howdy,

Try:

query_posts( 'meta_key=326_dtg&orderby=meta_value' );
while( have_posts() ) : the_post();
// do whatever you want to the loop of posts
endwhile;

You had the query_posts inside the while loop, so it was going to go on forever.

Let me know if this is not clear.

Hello,

Did you look in Appearance > Widgets in the WordPress admin area? There should be a “Recent Posts” widget you can drag over to your sidebar.

What theme are you using?

Regards,
Paul

Hi there,

It is not a 301 Redirect, but also not necessarily a bad thing. WordPress does this using permalink aliases, that is — it doesn’t forget the old link, just in case you spread that link around the internet before you updated to a new permalink structure.

That said, you don’t want the rest of the internet using two different URLs to get to the same page on your site. SO, if you have any sites (or your own site) linking via the old URL, you should update that to use the new structure.

If you don’t, then your “Link Juice” for SEO purposes will get divided between the two different URLs.

Let me know if you need more clarification / help.
Take care,
Paul
