Posts showing up in the footer on every page

Re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the Twenty Eleven folder to wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

Thanks so much for the quick reply!

Unfortunately I tried to re-upload a fresh, unpacked copy and nothing changed.

don’t use the ‘showcase’ page template for your pages (?)

or remove the ‘recent posts’ section from the showcase.php file;

starts with: <section class="recent-posts">
ends with: </section><!-- .recent-posts -->

don’t forget to create a child theme to work with; https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

Hi, thanks for the help. I removed the ‘recent posts’ section from the showcase.php file and am not using the showcase page template for my pages.

I created a child theme and have this in my style.css file. Is there something I need to add to fix the problem? I am still seeing all my posts in the footer of each page.

/*
Theme Name: Twentyeleven Child
Description: Child theme for the twentyeleven theme
Author: Michael Castor
Template: twentyeleven
*/

@import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);

#site-title a {
color: #000;
}

require_once( get_stylesheet_directory(). ‘/my_included_file.php’ );

Can you point to a page where this is still happening? I had a look at your site earlier today (and again just now) and couldn’t see the problem any more.

You don’t need to write the following in your stylesheet:

require_once( get_stylesheet_directory(). '/my_included_file.php' );

Have you modified your default page template or footer.php?

On the bottom of the page, all posts are being shown. They should only appear on the Home page.

I removed

require_once( get_stylesheet_directory(). ‘/my_included_file.php’ );

from the stylesheet.

I have not made any changes to the default page template or footer.php. Very new to WordPress. Only changes made have been those that were suggested above. Should I make changes to the default page template or footer.php?

Thank you again for all the help!

If you are using any additional plugin, try deactivating them.

My bad. I was was looking at Posts – not Pages. Have you edited the theme at all?

The only changes that I have made are the ones mentioned above. Nothing else.

Can you try:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– re-uploading a fresh, unpacked, copy of the Twenty Eleven folder to wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
