Well, I figured out why the formatting looked weird to me on the main page..the banner disappeared! ?? No wonder it looked strange.

Thank you very much! I fixed the problems above. There is still 1 error in the validation page, but I am not sure what it doesn’t like exactly.

Error Line 38, Column 84: Attribute “border” exists, but can not be used for this element.

…/Theme5/images/gobutton.jpg” border=”0″ value=”Go” />

The problem is the with the *border=”0″* which looks okay to me! ??

Question…if the main page and this page we are working with are using the same template, then why is it only messed up on the devotions page?

Thanks. Ok, the devotions are now being pulled in correctly, but I am unable to read them due to color and formatting issues.

Does this look fine on yours?

If you go to https://www.straightpaths.mzbc.com, the formatting looks decent (a little off), but it does not pull the devotions correctly. If you click the Straight Paths Devotions link at the top though, it takes you to the page that pulls the devotions in.

Thanks

Ooooooooook well…I figured out that part of my problem is that I need to update my database. We are constantly updating the devotions in another database, but I hadn’t updated the WP database. So I updated it now, so I think it may work. Since the formatting went weird after I changed the index.php file, I decided to try to go back to the original index.php file. Unfortunately, I changed the wrong file. I changed the main index file, which I think just tells the page to look for the theme and use it’s index. I assume that file is the same for all WP installations, but I do not have it backed up anywhere. So is there a good way to find that file so that I can test it again?

Sorry for all of the stupidity!

Thanks,

That is a great question about the different themes. ?? It should be be Theme5. I guess that is what I get for using the original theme name rather than using my own…I must have mis-typed it sometime. I have no idea how the first one got there though.

Thanks again for putting so much time into this. I still have the backup files on the server that I posted before. I change all of the files, and the formatting is a little messed up as you can see…

It is still not pulling from the database. Is there something that I need to do to make that happen?

Great, here it is:

Thanks,

I would be happy to zip it up. What is your email address? Or should I somehow upload it? I ran the validator, but the index.php it was giving me errors from seemed to be a different index.php than I was seeing in my WP editor.

Okay, I pasted what I think you need. Just let me know if this is not exactly what you want. It should be there for a month! ?? Thanks again for your help. I will start being more prompt in my replies now.

I am really sorry, but I think I let your pasted text expire. I was on the road all weekend and wasn’t able to work on it. Is there any way I can find it again?

Sorry about that!

I don’t understand. This is what it should look like:

https://straightpaths.mzbc.com/

I just needs to have the devotions brought in daily.
I thought I sent that link earlier. If I did not, I apologize.

Thanks. Here it is:

It looks fine though with my other pages, so I am not sure why an error in the heading would affect this page.

Okay, I did that. I think maybe I missed a step somewhere. I uploaded the file into the theme directory that I am using, instead of the default, which I assume I should have done. You will see the link is now there, but the background is not white as it should be. I chose the devotions template, but I left the html section blank.

THanks a bunch!

Well I actually have a page designed already that I want to use from a template. The url is https://www.straightpaths.mzbc.com.

I want to be able to have the devotions automatically brought into this site. I guess maybe I could have just pasted the info from my other page into this one? I wasn’t sure if that was doable with WP. Maybe I am making all of this way too difficult. Anyway let me know if this is still unclear. Thanks! ??

Ooops, here is the link ??

That is correct. THe link below is the page source. I didn’t write the code, a friend of mine did, but it works great. I just want to use the same page for this as we will for the blog, and I like the WP page better.

Again, I appreciate it.
