  1. The basic form of the loop is this : <?php if(have_posts()) : ?> <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> // this is the inside of the loop <?php endwhile; ?> <?php else : ?> <?php endif; ?> If you get the above right then its not the loop. You may be missing <?php wp_head(); ?> in the header.php file. Trying putting that in just above the </head> tag in header.php. Other than that it seems like you may need to go back to the drawing board beacause some of the wordpress logic is confusing and its best to start from a working template and change bit by bit and at the same time testing it thoroughly with every change.
  2. Try the following : Log into wp-admin and deactivate the theme. Delete the them folder copy the theme folder to the location again Then activate theme. Some times I find that when you copy themes, corruptions occur. If this doesnt work then its the theme that is faulty. You need read the instructions for the theme and make sure that you are using the correct version of wordpress as indicated by the read me file intructions.(Make sure you activate plugins, and theme settings in WP-admin, most times themes are straighforward but some themes need plugins and extra settings). Hope all this helps Good Luck!!!!
  3. I left the validation out because this is not a user input from a form. The previous month and next month are calculated within the class there fore I think the validation is redundant in this case, just to make the solution simple and understandable I just stated the neccessary code.
  4. Try following ( By setting the passed varibles using $_get() ; // If no month/year set, use current month/year $d = getdate(time()); if (isset($_GET["month"])) {$month = $_GET["month"]; } if (isset($_GET["year"])) {$year = $_GET["year"]; } if ($month == "") { $month = $d["mon"]; } if ($year == "") { $year = $d["year"]; } $cal = new MyCalendar; echo $cal->getMonthView($month, $year); ?>
  5. Hi Sam, Two things you need to check. 1) smtp gateway is set 2) safe_mode is set to off You can check this by creating a file in notepad called test.php and upload it to your web site root directory. Within this file put the following commands : <?php phpinfo(); ?> Then call test.php in your broswer. You should see a whole load of config settings for php. These are the settings and functions that your hosting provider allows you to do through php. Just do a search for smtp and safe_mode (Safe_mode is set to off and smtp has a gateway assigned to it). If these settings do not conform to what I stated then your hosting has disallowed it. But your hosting can block emails as a security measure because of spamming, in which case you need to tell them that you would like this service. Some times they may black list you because some one else has used your email address for spamming. Hope this helps and Good luck

    Hi david, There are two types of chat rooms Java based and Ajax based. I do not know much about prgramming in the java enironment but I dont think there is much open source material on this. Ajax method uses PHP and Mysql , there are endless number of open source scripts out there. Your first stop will be hotscripts.com. Try and find free ajax based chat scripts ( You need to identify the free scripts from the paid ones). and just set up a server and test it out I think you should start to learn PHP and Mysql first (its a lot easier than java, less formalities in programming style but yet so powerful and flexible). Hope this info helps.

  8. Try This .... Step 1 : Add float : right as highlighted below #Div1 IMG { float: right; height: 300px; width: 200px; border: 0px; } Step 2 : Insert image inside the <p> </P> and position it within the paragraphs where you want it in relation to your text. as shown below : <div id="Main"> <div id="LeftMenu"> Insert code for left menu/div here </div> <div id="Sandbag"> </div> <p> Insert all your text content here <img src="image.jpg" height="300" width="200"> Insert all your text content here </p> <p> Insert all your text content here </p> <p> Insert all your text content here </p> </div> This is the only simple way I know. If you spend some time learning absolute positioning you might be able to achieve better results. Hope this was of any help......Good luck Pointze
  9. I just want to point out something about your Flash animation.... It looks great and all But It took 1 minute and 20 secs to complete one loop. How many potential customers would look at that flash animation... I think personally 90% of people will ignore the flash animation ( Just personal opinion). But you have made that your center piece for your website. If I was a potential customer I would want to go straight to the content.... I should be lead to the content within the first 5 seconds. anyway design is very good but just keep refining and you will get there Pointze
  10. You followed the basic rules and have got all your meta tags optimized. You could rename your pages to something in the line of international_city_church_doncaster_leaders.php or iccd_leader.php ( It purely depends on what words you want optimised) Other things you could do is submit your page to Google maps under Churches in Doncaster and have a link back to your page. I'm sure you could think of other community web sites that you can post a link to ( Which should be related to your area). Good luck
  11. I will take all that on board and will simplify this design. The only idea the customer put forward was that he wanted "return on investment as a shape of a football, I don't really know what he meant so I just put a lot of ideas into One logo. But I agree with everyone that a logo should be simple and targeted. Key things that I will consider are : Get rid of ROI symbol Get rid of Pictures. May be use some green Use the windmill as a symbol representing the letter "T" Thanks Guys
  12. Your CSS file looks all over the place... hard to figure out the layout. But try this changing the width of #content to something like 500px in your CSS file : Ie as highlighted below : #content { overflow: hidden; width: 500px; background-color: #fff; height: 420px; float: left; font-family: "Lucida Grande" , "Segoe UI" , Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } Good Luck Pointze
  13. Try this link : http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html Good explanation of box model. It is a complex subject, just make sure you under stand how margins, paddings and borders are used and how the different types of measurements can produce different positioning outcomes. Good Luck Pointze
  14. There is no easy way of creating a web site. For a beginner I would suggest learn dream weaver or front page. But unfortunately you have to do courses for learning these applications. There is no free tutorial on the web for learning these applications. Go to some local training provider that provides cheap courses. But there are endless number of tutorials on the web for HTML,CSS, JAVA SCRIPT programming ( As mentioned by others , www.w3schools.com is very good for beginners). Knowing programming gives you the flexibility to fine tune web designs at ease. it gives you the edge, where as Dream weaver and front page is very good for creating draft designs in the beginning. Hope this helps Pointze
