hi lisaann,

i solved the problem by using this wonderful plug-in which lets you eaasily set up visibility of posts/ categories etc…

https://ryowebsite.com/wp-plugins/category-visibility/

hope this helps!

ok, i found a solution, thanks anyway…

or perhaps..could it be a user mistake?

when an upload of a file eg style.css has not finished and i click reload…
the theme doesn’t find the css file and resorts to using the standard theme?

solved the problem with 3x  
cheap but it works… ??

thank you moshu,
that’s exactly what i was looking for…
thank you michael,
i will play with the template and see if i can sort out the layout..

i thought so…
now what do i have to change in the code so that when you click on category, ALL posts are visible? thanks a million for your help michael…

i wanted to make a link to a post in a category that should have remained invisible.
i was going to create a guestbook as a post in it’s own category but i have changed my mind now… thanks for looking in…

i’m not sure how but i corrected the problem.

i validated the css at w3.org, corrected all the errors and problems and today the website shows correctly in ie6/ win 2000.

the css that was provided with the theme was full of errors and warnings but after validating and checking each and every line of text, things are working properly…

i didn’t have to change the size of any pictures and even added a drop shadow action to posted images…

i have solved the problem by deciding to ignore the problem.
the blog works fine in every browser on pc/mac apart from ie6/win2000.
so, my solution is update your browser and your system.
i have to use win 2000/ie 6 combination in the office because they’re still stuck in the stone age but that’s no reason to split my brain trying to find a problem that’s most probably linked to ie6 and the way it translates php, css, html etc
i give up, the blog is looking good and i’m happy… no more sleepless nights for me ??

problem solved.
came home, booted xp on my macbookpro.
using ie explorer 7.0, website shows up properly.
that’s all i needed to see.
oh well… no blog in the office, maybe better so…
thanks for your help, toby

thanks for your advice, i’ll re-install the theme and reprogram it tonight… and i’ll check padding and margins, which i haven’t changed…

thanks haecceity,
i know it’s a common problem and that’s why i searched everywhere and tried everything (apart from reinstalling the theme and starting again) before posting here.

all images conform to size regulations.
i even used the word break text in the header, no change.

can anyone help, please…?

another problem, this theme is supposed to use a drop shadow, do you see it? i don’t… thanks.
