    I’ve just checked – you’re correct, the line of code is different (I’m just getting my ‘newbie’ head around PHP which might explain it!)

    OK, (and just so that I can get my head around it) on my index.php page I had the following two lines of code:

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

    I replaced both with:

    <?php $posts=query_posts($query_string . '&order=asc');
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    Which gave me ascending post order.

    On my archive.php page I only have the second (albeit identical) line of code as that on the original index.php page:

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

    Don’t laugh, but I thought that I could just replace this single line (as I did in the index.php page) with the same ascending order code. Obviously not. ;o)

    The following appears to work (Hooray!) though I wonder if you could cast your expert eye over the syntax for me just to confirm.

    <?php $posts=query_posts($query_string . '&order=asc');
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    Thanks for taking the time; appreciated.

    Hello Michael,

    Thanks for the information.
    I’ve had a read of the links you kindly provided and have found that the file I need to modify is indeed archive.php. I traced the identical line of code within archive.php as I had in the original (unmodified) index.php file:

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

    ..and replaced this with the new code that gives me ascending post order in the blog page:

    <?php $posts=query_posts($query_string . '&order=asc');
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    However, when I go to view the pages I get the following error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/walletsm/public_html/wp-content/themes/walletsmarts/archive.php on line 186

    I would appreciate any further pointers you can give me.

    Molly
