post.php contains loads of functions. Are you sure you mean post.php?

I know

🙂

I’m working on a really simple theme that anyone can understand, because a lot of themes and style sheets are beautifully crafted but virtually impossible to reverse engineer.

I/m not sure what you want – can you explain it any better?

This is from http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

<!-- Start the Loop. -->
 <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

 <!-- The following tests if the current post is in category 3. -->
 <!-- If it is, the div box is given the CSS class "post-cat-three". -->
 <!-- Otherwise, the div box will be given the CSS class "post". -->
 <?php if ( in_category('3') ) { ?>
           <div class="post-cat-three">
 <?php } else { ?>
           <div class="post">
 <?php } ?>

On the other hand, you might be wanting to have all posts from category A in a div to the left of the page, all posts from category B in a div to the right of the page? If so, the only way would be to have two separate loops – loop one in the left div selects all the posts from category A, loop two in the right div selects all the posts from category B

Is this relevant?

If not, are you really using question marks before and after the structure tags or is that just a glitch in pasting the code? Or pressing shift when typing in the slashes?

Using %category%

%category% does not work correctly with some implementations of mod_rewrite in Apache versions prior to 2. If you are using Apache 1 and experience problems with using %category%, either do not use %category% in your permalink structure, or refer to Schlueterica’s plugin (http://isaacschlueter.com/plugins/i-made/lucky-13-rewrite/).

From my notes:

Tip: if there don’t seem to be enough author links check that you haven’t got (‘hide_empty=1’) because (‘hide_empty=1’) means that authors with zero posts won’t be displayed.
Also, if you are the administrator and there are no other authors, by default your name is not shown. There will be no <li></li> elements within the <ul></ul>
elements, which is not good markup. Also check that you haven’t got (‘exclude_admin=1’) because (‘exclude_admin=1’) hides your link.

Here’s the little varmint that creates all the #respond and #comment stuff – I’ve copied and pasted from my notes:

<?php comments_popup_link('Your wording for no comments', 'Your wording for one comment', 'Your wording for there were % comments', 'Your-CSS-style-name', 'Your wording for no comments allowed'); ?>
% gives the number of comments, Your-CSS-style-name is the CSS style that you want to use to style the comments link.

Links to posts that have no comments will have #respond added to them. This links to the anchor <h3 id="respond"> found within comments.php and takes the user diretly to the comment input form at the bottom of the post.

Links to posts with comments will have #comments added to them. This links to the anchor <h3 id="comments"> in comments.php – in other words, it takes the user directly to the first comment, so that they can read it.

Sorry, I replied aand then the support forum seemed to crash. Probably unrelated.

When you link to your post you’ll have either #respond or #comments added on by WordPress, depending on whether or not there are comments. Mouseover the link and look at the status bar.

I would delete one of your id=”comments” and replace it with id=”respond” and see what happens.

You shouldn’t have two identical ids on the same page – that would prevent your page validating.

Finally, your anchor doesn’t need to be id=”respond”, it could be a name=”respond” (sorry, code not rendering when try to edit it)
