    I feel really dumb asking this question because I’m sure it’s probably an easy answer.

    I have created a customized website where I use wordpress on only one of the pages (I use the loop to get the posts). I want to create the layout so that the title floats on the left and the excerpt floats on the right. I have tried just placing the title and the excerpt on the same line, but for some reason there is a break (where the excerpt is below the title). Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for the help!

  • If the title has any kind of “heading” around it (h2, h3 etc.) that always causes a line break.

    This is what I was using as the Loop:

    <div id=”phppost”>

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

    “><?php the_title(); ?> <?php the_excerpt() ?>

    <?php link_pages(‘Pages: ‘, ”, ‘number’); ?>

    <?php if ((‘open’ == $post-> comment_status) && (‘open’ == $post->ping_status)) {
    // Both Comments and Pings are open ?>

    <?php } elseif (!(‘open’ == $post-> comment_status) && (‘open’ == $post->ping_status)) {
    // Only Pings are Open ?>

    <?php } elseif ((‘open’ == $post-> comment_status) && !(‘open’ == $post->ping_status)) {
    // Comments are open, Pings are not ?>

    <?php } elseif (!(‘open’ == $post-> comment_status) && !(‘open’ == $post->ping_status)) {
    // Neither Comments, nor Pings are open ?>

    Posted on <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> by <?php the_author() ?> <?php } edit_post_link(”,”,”); ?>

    <?php endwhile; else: ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    </div>

    Any ideas?

    The link was fine, there wasn’t any wrong code.

    Don’t post code here – nobody reads it. Especially if you don’t know how to post a short code snippet. (You should read the instructions below the text input area – why nobody ever reads it???)

    Did you check the source code of the output? I guess the excerpt will be displayed in between <p> tags – so that might cause the line break, too.

    Where would I find output code so I can alter it?

    I didn’t say you can alter the output. The “output” is what appears in your browser when you look at your site… and right click > view source — would show what is the “output” of your code above.

    The output creates the tag, do you know how to prevent that from happening?

    No. The tag creates the output ??

    I don’t know, I never alter the core files.
