I did read it, asking the same question gets annoying too.

What I read tells me that as long as I have my page.php Template in place, and all my other Templates, and home.php or index.php is in the root WP directory, I can delete theme/index.php because it is just there for redundancy, correct?

fishes them out of where? Why do they disappear in the first place?

What is going on here? I can start posts but when I try to reply to a post, one I wrote or even other people’s post, it says they are close, but they are not. Also I cannot add anything to my favorites, it still gives me that error. What gives?

Okay I think I may have found it, but how could I change that without screwing up my form positioning?

Is it on line 13 where it says

<div style="top: 40px; left: 16px; position: relative; height: 840px;"> ???

I put that inline because it was easier to edit hen tweaking… still, if I use a tag there, is that the problem?

Could it be my layer that the form is on sliding over the links and making them inaccessible?

Anyone? Beuler?

Alright guys… my site validated just fine, fixed all the errors that it found and went through and really cleaned up my code. I figured I’d find the root cause of my original problem but I cannot. Here it is:

http://www.crawlmag.com/wordpress/?page_id=38

That is a Page and it uses a custom Template. The Template is an exact copy of my main Template (which works fine) except that the Main Page section is changed; I added the blue links and an HTML form. Those, ironically, work fine. The form works great.

I cannot click on the links on the left sidebar in green; as well as the links in my footer; anything that is included() – but the main body links (change of address etc) work fine. To me the others are just static text and not hyper-linked. I tried the page in Mac Safari and Mac FireFox, as well as Windows Firefox and IE6 and IE7 and cannot click the links. Several people report that they can indeed click on the links, is there any browser specific problem you can see with my code that would cause this? Thinking caps time!

I used hyperlinks in the Sidebar instead of the get_pages because I have more control over them. Would this affect things?

<div class="subnav1">
  <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
        || !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>

  <?php if (function_exists('wp_theme_switcher')) { ?>

  <h1>Themes</h1>
  <?php wp_theme_switcher('dropdown'); ?>
  <?php } ?>
  <ul>

Because the footer doesn’t work either, I am thinking it is higher up the food chain, like in one of the Page Template Pages? But I am at a loss, help!?!?
