I fought with the loop thing for a while trying to make a custom template so could make a page and then have posts below it. Kinda like a FAQ for that category and then descending posts.

Maybe I can make the stickies work in each category but NOT on the front page… That would be better.

Thx for responding.

Yeah. I have another template I use that i connect to a database and my template has no side bars.

Been doing a lot of reading and need to reform my question in a fresh post.

Thanks for following up. 🙂

I pulled down single.php, renamed page_with_Loop.php and uploaded. It worked but not really what I was looking for. Grabbed page.php and added the lines to the top, uploaded and edited -Home to use the templated but it didn’t show posts. Here’s that code:
<?php
/*
Template Name: page_with_Loop
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”content”>
<div id=”contentleft”>
<div class=”postarea”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_content(__(‘Read more’));?><div style=”clear:both;”></div><?php edit_post_link(‘(Edit)’, ”, ”); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?></p><?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>

Tomorrow I’ll try to find the loop that is called when reading option doesn’t use a page. Thx for your help.

Not resolved but posted a new topic in themes and templates.
