The whole block of text is the quote…and I feel like a complete idiot, because I didn’t realize I had to use the blockquote button to get the post types to display differently. Holy crow, am I ever embarrassed.

Thanks, Andrew. I’ll slink away now.

On my theme, they just show up as plain text, without the shaded background.

Hi Andrew, thanks for writing back. I’ll try disabling plugins. The demo page is here: https://twentytwelvedemo.wordpress.com/blog/

You can see that the post type for quotes has a different style than for regular text posts.

MichaelH,

It doesn’t seem like the Subscribe2 plugin would quite do what I need it to do. When registered contributors create posts, they’re not immediately published – they’re held in “pending” status. I need something to tell the admins that a post is waiting for their approval.

I admit when I recommended WP to a client for their CMS, I thought this was a native WP feature. I’m really surprised to find out that it isn’t.

I didn’t do anything odd to it – I made the static page the front page of my site by going to Options > Reading, and then I suddenly didn’t have a blog page anymore. Now when I load the index.php page, I see the static page I created.

If I go back into Options > Reading and change the front page options so that the front page displays a list of posts, then I see my list of posts. I could be wrong, but it seems that when I make the static page the front page, it’s overwriting the index.php page. I don’t know if that makes any sense. I appreciate your help this far.

Hi JamesICT/Root,

Yes, I’ve created the static front page already, but the only other pages that are available in navigation are the ‘about’ page and the ‘archives’ page – the entries page is nowhere to be found. Do I have to create a special page just for the entries?
