Seven Questions…

    Ok, I’ve run into more problems.

    1. When someone clicks the links on the main page to take them to the intire article, where you can read everything, and the comments, my template is all messed up. Here is an example: https://itech.viperhosting.net/wordpress/?p=13

    2. When I am writing something, is there any way to get the <!– next page –> to show up on the article on the front page, instead of ONLY when they click the link to view it?

    3. How do I create a horizontal line in my posts? I tried <hr> but that doesn’t work. Is there a way?

    4. I don’t have a navigation bar. Is there a way I can add one in under my banner? Like I just put in some links, and a gradient or solid color behind it? Kinda like on my main page (https://itech.viperhosting.net)?

    5. Where can I get the calenders, or, Recent Posts?

    6. How do I add who the article was posted by? and the images next to them? Like some sites have little arrows or something next to “Posted in…” “By..” and “Comments ()”

    Lastly,
    7. Is there anyway I can move my blog. I hope to move it so that it is my main page and not in another folder. If I do move it, will all my articles be lost?

    Most of the answers are already posted here (or on the codex)…use the search function.

    1. Did you do anything to the comment.php template? What happens if you dump a copy of the generic default template comment.php in to yours? If not, did you modify any of the comment css in your stylesheet?
    2. Do you mean a “Next Page >>”, even if there are no posts? You have a Next Page, if there are posts in the future of the current page…look at archive.php.

    <?php posts_nav_link('','','« Previous Entries') ?>
    <?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries »','') ?>

    4. There are many nav bars…google it.

    5. Calendar is there…it’s just commented out. Look in sidebar.php.
    6. This too is there…just commented out. Look in the theme index.php.
    7. Yes you can move your blog…see:

    Starskey,
    Asking so many questions in one post makes it difficult for people to answer everything. You may find that one or more of your questions don’t get answered. As well, people won’t take the time to sort through all of the answers to see what needs attention. They shouldn’t have to, either. ??

    1. I’ve used a new file configuration that someone posted about always haveing the sidebars? So I am useing that and it is working very well.

    2. When I would like to put more than one page in an article, I notise that there is the <<Nextpage>> option in the Write a Post area. I figured that that would allow the users to see a link to the next page of the article when viewing it on the main page. However, it only shows up when and if you click the article title.

    5 + 6. Found those…thanks for the help!

    7. Not quite what I am looking for…but thanks. I’ll see what I can do with it ??

    2. Add something like <?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number', '', '', '%'); ?> to your index.php where you want the page links to appear.

    7. In case you’re still wondering: You’ll just need to move the index.php found in the root of your WordPress install to the root of your site, and then change the line that says require('./wp-blog-header.php'); to require('./wordpress-directory/wp-blog-header.php); and then go into your admin panel and change the blog address field in your options to your site’s URI.
