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.

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!!!!

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.

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); ?>

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I agree with you. the spacing is different... this is because I was experimenting with the glow effect in Photoshop on the letter G but some reason it effected all the text and i had to re-space the pictures unevenly so that the glow did not come into the other pictures. I am also frustrated with photo shop in not having proper alignment tools for different layers when working with text. I might also use your advice on using green... this seems logical for renewable company. The ROI -- I used twirl effect... but I am just getting used to photoshop ... I will experiment creating and repeating shapes using the pen tool. Anyway thanks Helen for the advice. Pointze

The Logo is supposed to be ROI, Dehana Technologies and Get return on investment. I am really designing this as a banner for their web site thats why I have the pictures in between. I might need to create other designs as well to give them option.. Ie separate the pictures. This is just going to be a temporary logo until they get more funding for their projects so I wont really get much money for this .... just doing it for the experience in designing.

Hey Guys.... did I post this in the wrong place... please let me know.... if you have any comments on the logo even if its just being very critical i mind... silence really kills me. Thanks Pointze

Hello guys, I was doing some work for a small company who carry out some research into renewable energy .. just some general tidy up of their website and was asked to do a company logo for their website. I have come up with the following as a draft. Just wanted to run by this with everyone to check if it reflects a research company that does research into renewable energy. Points to note. The pictures are Istock pics copied with the watermarks on them (This is because this is a draft design. I will buy the pics if they go ahead with this design.) Any way I am not graphic designer but learning the art as I go along. Please give pointers on website logo design and what you think of the design in general. HERE IS TH LOGO : Thanks Pointze

I was browsing the net for opticians in W1 and came across this site : www.kirkoriginals.com What does every one else think, cool or Uncool ? I was personally annoyed by it but kept watching it through to the end.

A further point to note regarding my website. My website appears as frames but it has nothing to do with the coding, what has actually happened is I am with Fasthosts and they do no have a proper system for sub domains, they use frames for sub domains. I cant figure out how they do this or why they do it but just a cautious note to others who may be with fasthosts ( I want to leave them very soon, they are crap). This has baffled me all day and finally I found out from other forums that this is what they do. I shall keep working on my site. And post further improvements

Hi, Bumfluf, Just a query on your remark about using frames... I haven't used frames I never intend to use frames. Can you elaborate on where I use frames in my web site. ( I have used PHP to make the page Dynamic). I will need to test look into how to solve the IE7 and FF2 browser problem (Insert something in the CSS) I put plain text at the top because It would pick up in Search engines (I can replace that with more fancy graphic text and may be insert the details in the main body somewhere). I Do agree with you on your valid points on the design ( Have to give the page life , make it more fun, vibrant and sexy). Thanks for the comments

Thanks Guys I have learnt quite a lot for one day... I tried the theme site.. just need to register and stuff but looks great can use all this info for the next job. I am not an expert in salsa But luv it too.... ain't nothing like spending a night out just dancing with luvly women. Cheers guys ...signing out Pointze

Its a bit of a pleasent coincidence that you are a salsa expert as well as web guru. I totally agree with you there.... I am very new to designing and All I had was the flyer they gave me. I would need to find some sultry pictures of latino babes doing their thing... may be create a small flash animation with few images of sexy babes to fill in the gap to the top right of the screen. And more pictures down the right side. But In terms of the content They have to give me more info on how they want to brand it. I am in two minds at the moment as this is my first site I am am doing it cheap for them and as a favor ( £300 with a content management system) so I am not really going to go out my way to make it too good. As the work I have done on this I can reuse for other sites to turn a template into a content management with my code. Any way much appreciated for the wise comments and advice. Pointze
