Yeah, confusion is the problem I’m facing from customers. I’m going to look into hacking the code. I’ll let you know if I have any success.
Have you made any progress with this? I’m looking for the same solution.
Thank for the reply SimonJ. When I started describing to you exactly how it failed, I realized what was happening.
The basic concept I wasn’t grasping is that apparently some of the predefined templates (like index.php) by default only grab “posts” via the loop.
But when you create a custom template, you have to tell the loop to grab only posts. My page was grabbing other entries that were not posts and they showed up blank. To fix this I added the following line before my loop and it did the trick:
query_posts("post_type=post");
