It appears that the site does re-direct to the correct link as the correct link comes up in the navi bar. However, the image/page on screen is still the homepage.

Brilliant, thank you very much!

This is the code from my functions.php

And this is my code from post-entry.php. I have changed both references in post-entry.php so that ‘excerpt’ now says ‘content’. Is this correct?

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

    <div class="post-entry clearfix">
        <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {  ?>

        <div class="post-entry-featured-image">
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(' ') ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="opacity"><?php the_post_thumbnail('post-image'); ?></a>
        </div>
        <!-- END post-entry-featured-image -->

    <div class="post-entry-content">
        	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(' ') ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
					<?php the_news_excerpt('500000','','','plain','no'); ?>
        </div><!-- END post-entry-content -->

   <?php } else{ ?>
   <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(' ') ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
			<?php the_news_excerpt('500000','','','plain','no'); ?>.
   <?php } ?>
 	</div>
	<!-- END post-entry -->

<?php endwhile; ?>

Why am I getting the error message above.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks esm, but when I change the following code from

`<div class=”post-entry-content”>
<h2><a href=”<?php the_permalink(‘ ‘) ?>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_news_excerpt(‘500000′,”,”,’plain’,’no’); ?>
</div><!– END post-entry-content –>`

to

<?php the_news_content(); ?>

I get the following error message

Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_news_content() in /home/bennoh/public_html/wp-content/themes/minimal-xpert/post-entry.php on line 13

Any advice?

Thanks for the advice esmi… However, I cannot see

<?php the_excerpt();?>

anywhere in the code I have pasted the below. Might it be written in some other way?

<?php
	// load the theme options
	$options = get_option( 'mx_theme_settings' );
?>
<?php get_header(' '); ?>

<div id="post-content">

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'post' , 'entry') ?>
<?php endif; ?>   

<?php if (function_exists("pagination")) { pagination($additional_loop->max_num_pages); } ?>
</div>
<!-- END post-content -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php get_footer(' '); ?>

Sorry for my delayed response… I’ve been a little snowed under. I am using the Minimal Xpert Theme.

The four images on the left hand side of the screen are where I would like them to be. You will notice there is a large space between the bottom of my posts and the footer area… This is because I have lots of stuff in my sidebar.

I would like to add an image into that space either above or below the posts and their smaller (correctly positioned) pictures.
Yes, I would like this image to be on the homepage, not the post page.

I am a relative beginner with wordpress and modifying templates… I have a tiny amount of experience, but I have normally followed other people’s instructions.

If you could give me any advice I would be extremely grateful.

Brilliant. That is exactly what I was after… Many thanks!

Thanks for the help duck_boy, unfortunately I do not understand this. I am a total novice and know next to nothing about code. Could you please elaborate in layman’s terms?

sorry, https://www.manzatela.com

Brilliant, thank you very much! I’m somewhat of a novice if you hadn’t already worked that out!

Many thanks for your help once again esmi!

OK great, that’s cleared that up for me. Thanks a lot for the advice!

It appears as the_news_excerpt() in post-entry.php and new_excerpt_length and new_excerpt_more in functions.php

Are they the same things do you think?

Might it be

// Limit Post Word Count
function new_excerpt_length($length) {
return 50;

or

//Replace Excerpt Link
function new_excerpt_more($more) {

I cannot find the_news_excerpt() in function.php. And having changed the post-entry.php I am now getting a fatal error

‘Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_news_content() in /home/bennoh/public_html/wp-content/themes/minimal-xpert/post-entry.php on line 13’
