Esmi,

thanks for the reply, this has worked.

Thank you Choon for the reply,

I think I’ll wait til the new version comes out to do this.
I’ve looked over the index file but am lost as to which code
I need to modify.

thanks,

WordPress doesn’t even have a good explanation of instructions for this. I had to find a third party for instructions. I will install Statpress plugin, none of this sh*t is worth the hassle.

Thanks for the help

problem resolved, I used a custom structure that solved both issues and is more SEO friendly…

yes, I’ve read that multiple loops are a different story…
which leads me to think I should be happy with only one post; then secondary posts being posted under the “recent post” category….

I should’ve added on the last post that I tried that when I was inserting the code. I put the string after and before. There is a 2nd column that’s titled recent posts. This is where the previous posts roll over to. Does the code for the “recent posts” need deleted or modified?

Here is the code from the index.php within the theme folder I’m using.
I’m stumped on it. I see a have_posts but no “show_posts”. Where would I add the string of code you pointed out above?

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<!– start content –>
<div id=”content”>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h1 class=”title”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<p class=”meta”><small>Posted on <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> by by <?php the_author() ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘ | ‘, ”); ?></small></p>
<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
</div>
<p class=”links”><?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?>     ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”>Permalink</p>
<p class=”tags”><?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘); ?></p>
</div>
</div>
<!– end content –>

<!– start sidebar one –>
<div id=”sidebar1″ class=”sidebar”>

<li id=”recent-posts”>
<h2>Recent Posts</h2>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

here is the code for the index.php file. I’m not to savvy with php coding but pretty sure I need to change something within this code.
Anyone??

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<!– start content –>
<div id=”content”>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h1 class=”title”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<p class=”meta”><small>Posted on <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> by by <?php the_author() ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘ | ‘, ”); ?></small></p>
<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
</div>
<p class=”links”><?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?>     ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”>Permalink</p>
<p class=”tags”><?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘ ‘); ?></p>
</div>
</div>
<!– end content –>

<!– start sidebar one –>
<div id=”sidebar1″ class=”sidebar”>

<li id=”recent-posts”>
<h2>Recent Posts</h2>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
• <h3>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
  <?php the_excerpt() ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</div>
<!– end sidebar one –>

<?php else : ?>

<h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
<p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.php”); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<!–
<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Older Entries’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries »’) ?></div>
</div>
–>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
