Okay, I’ve solved the problem. I did find out how to disable it in post.php, but in doing some testing I found out that I SHOULD be able to post even with a direct bookmark to post.php, even with it enabled – the problem was my urls didn’t quite match (www.domain.com vs domain.com) and that was causing the issue. Touchy thing.

ColourDreamer’s fix worked perfectly for me, that’s exactly what I wanted, thank you!

I want to add, however, that it will give you incorrect results for is_home(). For me personally I only wanted is_home() returning true for the main page (root/) and not for the journal index (root/journal/) so here was my fix:

In classes.php there is this line, that is the test for whether or not is_home returns true:

if ( ! ($this->is_archive || $this->is_single || $this->is_page || $this->is_search || $this->is_feed || $this->is_trackback || $this->is_404 || $this->is_admin || $this->is_comments_popup)) {

which in mine was around line 200. Right before that line add this:

$journal = false;
if(strstr($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘journal/’)) {
$journal = true;
}

Make sure you change “journal/” to whatever your journal page is set to – and change the original to this:

if ( ! ($this->is_archive || $this->is_single || $this->is_page || $this->is_search || $this->is_feed || $this->is_trackback || $this->is_404 || $this->is_admin || $this->is_comments_popup || $journal)) {

Basically just have to add another condition of the test, checking to see if journal/ (or whatever your page/subdirectory is called) is in the URL or not.

I finally found what I was looking for! Here in this post:

Worked perfectly, did exactly what I wanted. ??

I’ve determined it’s a loop thing – the page is considered the loop, not the post entries, not sure why I didn’t notice that before. I added this:

query_posts(‘showposts=10’);

So now on the page it’s displaying the most recent 10 entries…. but it’s only showing either ALL the content (more included) or, when I give TRUE as a second parameter to the_content it’s only showing the content after the more, if there is one. That’s really weird. The posts that don’t have a more tag in them aren’t displaying any content at all. Anyone know what’s up with that? I just want it to display up to the More tag and then a link to the more.

The reason I don’t want to move all of it into /journal/ is because then all the pages would be /journal/about/ which isn’t what I want.

I don’t see why the permalinks would change anything, I didn’t put that in manually, that’s the name of the page. The design is all working flawlessly, it’s the post data that’s not showing up.

To illustrate, I turned permalinks off. Here’s the page:
https://lunardreams.net/pets/?page_id=17

I just want that page to show the most recent entries, like the index.php page is. I don’t want the whole journal in a seperate folder. I just want index.php to be named something different.
