Thank you, both.

I used Alcymyth’s href="' . site_url() . '/favicon.ico" and put the favicons into the theme folder. Finally, the coding is appearing in the header area.

Here it is:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

function favicon_link() {
    echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico" />' . "\n";
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'favicon_link' );

It doesn’t make sense that this won’t work even if wordpress is in its own folder. Please note that this coding for the favicon is working on the rest of the site.

Good ideas to check the error logs or enable DEBUG (I’ll just have to remember to disable it once the site is live). Thank you.

As for the recent fix to functions.php, alas, the shortcut icon is not actually appearing in the coding of the header. Is there something I’m missing? (I got that example of coding from the codex.)

Sigh. Another correction…

The images are showing on the main page but when I go to the actual post, the image disappears.

example:
The Cookbook cover shows here etherwork.net/blog/

But when going to the post itself, the cookbook cover disappears: etherwork.net/blog/?p=1672 and there is no sign of the coding of the image in the source code.

Where have I misstepped?

Yes. I’m pleased to report that upgrading to php5 solves the problem.

But I want to use the plugin!

Perhaps I need to reword the question…

I have now installed a test wordpress – version 3.0.5 with the twenty ten theme and all the plugins that I have on my current wordpress. After activating the theme-check plugin, this is the result I see when going to the ThemeCheck page in the admin area:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in ../testwordpress/wp-content/plugins/theme-check/checkbase.php on line 11

What version of MySQL is required for this plugin to work OR what changes should be made to checkbase.php on line 11 so that the plugin works with MySQL4?

I looked a little more at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link and have now altered the coding to the following (I remembered to fix the character entities and make sure they ended with semicolons):

<?php
previous_post_link('%link', '<b>&laquo;</b> %title <b>&laquo;</b>  ', FALSE, '7');
next_post_link('%link', '  <b>&raquo;</b> %title <b>&raquo;</b>', FALSE, '7');
?>

And hey presto, the previous/next post links (with the exception of any links to posts in the #7 category) are showing up only on the actual post pages. Yay!

sigh… please excuse me for replying to myself yet again.

I just noticed that I was using the now deprecated tags previous_post and next_post (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post). I have now changed the coding on my index page to read the following – it is within the loop.

<?php previous_post_link('<b>&laquo</b> %link <b>&laquo</b> &nbsp;'); ?> <?php next_post_link('&nbsp; <b>&raquo</b> %link <b>&raquo</b>'); ?>

Irritatingly, the links are still showing on the index page.

Just to reiterate, what must I do to get those links to show ONLY on the post page and not on the main blog page?
