I’ve referenced this page, but all of the available tags are specific to something – like date, post id etc. I simply want a level where I can place anything. If Pages would allow tags, then I’d be perfectly fine, but unfortunately they can’t have tags, and it needs to be a page format to be able to use a template…

Log in to your Admin side of WordPress (where you add posts/pages).

On the left there is a menu, right at the bottom there is the Settings panel. Open it and you will see the Reading option. Here you can set the number of posts per page.

Not quite sure what you’re asking but, I assume the setting you need to change is here in your admin dashboard Settings->Reading. From there you can organize the way posts are shown.

I would suggest switching the permalink structure around. It is not advisable to use %postname% first. It’s much better for performance to do:

/%post_id%/%postname%/

Hm…then it has me stumped too sorry. Unless it’s something to do with plugins that are somehow conflicting?

I visited the site – seems that there is no category being picked up on the link. Are you assigning actual categories to the posts, and if so are you including it in the permalink?

Have you tried using the default permalink and seeing what happens?

Also if you let me know the version of WordPress you are using, it might help me figure it out. A lot of the time, simply upgrading tends to fix bugs like this.

Anyway, let me know.

Quick Press is on the Dashboard on the top right of the page.

Also, may I ask, what version of WordPress are you using? Perhaps updating would fix the problem?

Does this happen for BOTH pages and posts?

Just out of interest, have you tried the Quick Press box, and seeing what happens when you publish from there?

You can always edit the templates directly – they are all in PHP.

Thank you drmanry, that’s great!

Thank you drmanry ?? Now I just need to figure out the other problem I listed above ??

Thank you for the help! That does exactly what i want.

However – my tab menu requires extra list items before and after each link to display a rounded corner. So, the set up for each link would be:

<li class="tabstart"></li>
<li class="page_item">Home</li>
<li class="tabend"></li>

As you see above, tabstart and tabend are classes which do not contain any items but are simply there to round off the tabs. wp_list_pages does not allow me to do this since it literally echos it to the page and won’t let me put it in my own foreach loop.

Is there anything I can do to override this?

Thank you

Pages and posts don’t support PHP code.

Try installing Exec-PHP: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/exec-php/ this is a plugin which will allow you to do this.

This sounds like a firewall problem – maybe it’s blocking the site from posting. It happened to me before when signing in to certain sites. Try checking that, and see if you can make WordPress an exception.

I may be able to put together some CSS for you at some point during the weekend, if you don’t mind waiting! I’ll try and see what I can do for you.
