it isnt working and also showing posts inside a page is causing a lotta problems for my theme. Anyways thnks a lot for your help!!!

Im gonna stick with the page template redirection method even though it increases the page load time, theres no other option. thnks!

But where am i suppose to put that excerpt tag? ive no idea, which is the template file it is using to display the posts when i use that php tag in a page.
when i use the php template in a page the posts are displayed in a different style, without the author name , just the title and content(not excerpt), there are no such templates in my theme. Do you know which is that template?

but that will only show posts from a particular category.
Actually i’m using the wp-post ratings plugin, and i want to show the top rated posts in a wordpress page using the index.php template style.
This is the php tag:

<?php query_posts($query_string.'&r_sortby=most_rated&r_orderby=desc') ?>

I made a new page template copying the index.php, but that didnt work, it still displayed the full posts instead of excerpts.
The link : https://www.mywebsite.com/&r_sortby=most_rated&r_orderby=desc is displaying posts in the proper way.

How can i assign the index.php template to that particualr wordpress page?

how can i show that query result in a wordpress page?
I cannot use the php query tag, cause that displays the posts in a different template style with no excerpts and all.
So right now am using a different page template with redirection to
this url – https://www.mywebsite.com/&r_orderby=desc
but this increases the page load time a lot.

pls tell me how to display the post query result in a wordpress page with the index.php template style?

when i use

https://www.mywebsite.com/&r_orderby=desc

the posts are displayed in the same way as the index.php with excerpts.
but when i use

<?php query_posts($query_string.'&r_orderby=desc') ?>

the template used is different…
why is it so?

thnks for the helpful links!!!
so to show the posts using the query tag in the index.php template style , ive to create a new template with the name query.php?

I’m using WP 2.7.1, it looks like the_author_meta() tag came after wp2.8 version. The author_meta() tag isnt defined in Wp2.7.1 author_template.php file.
Is there any problem if i replace the Wp2.7 author template file with wp2.8, so that i can use the_author_meta() tag?
pls help! thnks!

figured it out!!!..too many plugins were active and it took a lot of memory….that was the reason for the error.
Deactivated some unwanted plugins…and now evrythngs working fine!!!.

im using about 30 plugins in total…..is that the reason???

for photo gallery i would recommend “nextgen gallery plugin” and for video – “tubepress” these r d best plugins out there for photo and video blogging.
These are the plugins that i used to create the wallpapers and videos page in my wbesite. – i-Core

thats because the domain name was out of order when u visited. But everythings fine now!!!

nice job…..looks kinda professional…keep it up buddy!!!
