Major Include issue….

  • Hi all
    I have included the following code into my site’s index page;

    <?php
    /* Short and sweet */
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
    require(‘./wp/wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>

    While it does include the posts….it’s not displaying them properly.

    Example post entry:
    Hi there.
    How are you?
    I am fine.

    In reality I had entered the post with a space between each line;
    Hi there.

    How are you?

    I am fine.

    It’s like it’s not picking up any html coding for some reason. Anyone have any ideas? I have a site to launch like yesterday and can not until I figure out this problem.

    Thanks for all the help

  • WordPress removes empty paragraph tags between paragraphs (correct code behavior). If you want more space between your paragraphs, adjust it with css in your theme’s style.css.

    Are you using the_excerpt() to pull the content?

    Im just using the code above. It’s like it’s not reading the CSS for some reason. When I view the post from the wp directory it’s fine and perfect.

    Here is my complete code: I just added the Start and End code

    <?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./wp/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
<?
include('header.php');
?>

<div id="content">

<!-- Start the Loop. -->
 <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

 <!-- The following tests if the current post is in category 3. -->
 <!-- If it is, the div box is given the CSS class "post-cat-three". -->
 <!-- Otherwise, the div box will be given the CSS class "post". -->
 <?php if ( in_category('3') ) { ?>
           <div class="post-cat-three">
 <?php } else { ?>
           <div class="post">
 <?php } ?>

 <!-- Display the Title as a link to the Post's permalink. -->
 <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

 <!-- Display the Post's Content in a div box. -->
 <div class="entry">
   <?php the_content(); ?>
 </div>

 </div> <!-- closes the first div box -->

 <!-- Stop The Loop (but note the "else:" - see next line). -->
 <?php endwhile; else: ?>

 <!-- The very first "if" tested to see if there were any Posts to -->
 <!-- display.  This "else" part tells what do if there weren't any. -->
 <p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

 <!-- REALLY stop The Loop. -->
 <?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?

include('footer.php');
?>

    If I set the define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false); to true it doesn’t do anything except make a duplicate entry on my index page….for the life of me I just can’t get it to call on the wp’s theme css…

    What’s the URL to your site?
