Well, actually you have two “#body table td” styles… one on line 81 and one on line 383. You should combine those as they are the same…

.htaccess files are hidden by default. Most FTP applications will show hidden files, but some are set to not show them by default. Look in your FTP application setting for a hide/show hidden files option. Make sure that’s checked to show hidden files.

If it is, and there are still no .htaccess files (usually in the root WordPress folder and sometimes in the wp-admin folder), then the only other thing I can think of is that your WordPress database table containing options is set to point to the wrong URL.

FileZilla is a good FTP program that shows hidden files by default and is really easy to use… http://filezilla-project.org/

Hope this helps.

Looks like, according to your posted code, you’d add something like this in the { Your Code Here }:

<div class="exerptpost">
 <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(230,230), array('class' => 'archimg')); ?>
 <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
 <div class="entrydate"><?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?></div>
 <p><?php echo excerpt(145); ?></p></div>

Good luck and let me know… check out that get_posts() link I sent you… might be easier than what I’m suggesting. It’s late and now I’m over complicating things 🙂

Gotcha… so here’s the deal… you’ll need a second loop, outside the main loop, where you want these top posts to go… So where ever you want it to show, add:

<?php
$args=array(
   'post_type' => 'post',
   'post_status' => 'publish',
   'posts_per_page' => 2
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if($my_query->have_posts()) :
   while($my_query->have_posts()) :
      $my_query->the_post();
      { Your code here }
   endwhile;
endif;
?>

Your first loop will pull the content from the page itself… this second loop with get the latest 2 posts. Not tested, but should be closer to what you are looking for…

Yes… this is a PHP restriction. Your PHP install is running in safe mode and your account is trying to run a function is does not have access to run. You need to access the php.ini file to turn this off. If you don’t have access, your host will. Also, safe mode is depreciated as of PHP5.3.0… you should probably get them to upgrade your PHP version while you are at it.

This is typically my index.php files…

<?php
   if(have_posts()) :
      get_header();
      while(have_posts()) :
         the_post();
         the_content();
      endwhile;
      get_footer();
   else :
      header('Location: 404.php');
   endif;
?>

And my blog pages look a lot like yours…
