In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!You can now use WP and WP plugin calls on that page, like recent posts and even use the loop on that page to bring up posts.
Oooo the power of WP.

In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!I THINK (again with the ‘think’ because im not too sure on this) the wp-blog-header line should be the first line of the page due to what wp-blog-header does.
If yours isnt then clearly im wrong 😉Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp-content/themes/default????There is that, but chmoding can be complicated and confusing if you dont know what your doing.
Again, your sites control panel SHOULD let you do that too.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: How easy is WP to install?Id suggest going for it, get your hands dirty and see what happens.
past the CSS its not hugely complicated, just as with anything, it takes some time to get accustomed.

In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!cool, must have been the wp-blog-header.php bit then, that basically makes the page a ‘WP Page’.

In reply to: wp-content/themes/default????What do you mean by access?
If you mean edit, I would suggest ftp, or your hosts cpanel (assuming they use cpanel, there should be an equivalent).

In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!I knew it was something like that (stands to reason) as I said, I tend to use include for my theme.
Id go with Yami’s suggestion of including a simple text file and see what happens. sounds like odd things are up.
Or are you saying it works now?

In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!Do they? OK, Id only every got errors trying that (I think) and of course if urls change (like youre domain) it doesnt work
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!try just
<? include(‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>
and see what happens
If you STILL dont get any errors then something odds happening as it should cry blue murder that it cant find the file.
the require bit was from the code that WP uses, im not sure of the difference between require and include but in this case I think include is the one.
Also, try putting some sort of text in the side bar like “XXXX–SIDEBAR–XXXX” – id suggest at the top – just so you know its getting the right file, I often use this temporarily for troubleshooting.

In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!If youre using http:// I dont think thatll work.
Remove it, refresh the page and itll pretty much tell you what the path is because itll give you a big error.

In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!It might be worth mentioning that even if you get this working, if the sidebar uses WP specific calls and the page youre trying to include it in ISNT a WP page I dont think itll work.
I think you need to add
require(ABSPATH . ‘wp-blog-header.php’);
too the top of the page (or change the path so it gets to the wp-blog-header.php file in WP.
I think – this is certainly how I got similar things working for my gallery.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!Sorry, I should point out that mine is with my header file, the theory should be fine with sidebar – just in case, sorry.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Sidebar on a Separate page!I dont think it should have http://, I think it should just be the path to the file example in my home.php I have
include “header.php”;
if it were an absolute path it’d be
include “/usr/home/somefool/public_html/wp13/wp-content/themes/sflwa3c/header.php”;
it should be similarly set up in your WP admin screens, under options for uploading files.
Im pretty sure thats right.
