    I’m trying to create my own theme. The only files are index.php and style.css. Other themes work fine, but when I try this, nothing happens.

    The blog is located at: https://www.stlhood.org

    index.php:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head profile="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

	<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />	

	<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats please -->

	<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

	<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

	<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />

	<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />

	<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

	<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>

	<?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>

	<?php wp_head(); ?>

</head>

<body>

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

</body>

</html>

    style.css

  • You need to add other functions. Here is a basic loop. Feel free to replace your own with this one.

    <!-- start the loop -->

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

</div>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

<!-- end the loop -->

<!-- get pagination -->

<?php get_template_part( 'pagination' ); ?>
