Sorry about that – I provided a solution to the wrong problem ?? – If you want to reduce the distance between your header & the main body text:

Adjust the padding-bottom for the .post class (line 156)

Hello delveinto,

In you style.css file, on line 61 you will see

#header {style.css (line 61)
font-size:1em;
font-variant:small-caps;
height:100px;
margin:40px 0 0;
text-align:left;
}

reduce the “margin: 40px” value

I am more than happy to help you, but I will need to see you theme. Please provide a link.

@ christer.trasti –

Please note to remove the commented code:

<!--Below I have removed the Read More-->

<?php /*?> <div class="readmore">
" rel="bookmark" title="Continue reading the rest of this entry ?">Read More
</div>
<?php */?>

<!--Above I have removed the Read More-->

Here is your revised code:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<div class=”postwrapper”>
” rel=”bookmark” title=”Continue reading the rest of this entry ?”><img src=”<?php $key=”thumbnail”; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>” alt=”thumbnail” class=”thumbnail” />
<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class=”postmetadata”>
<span class=”thetime”><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?></span>
<span class=”thecategory”><?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?></span>
<?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘<span class=”editthispost”>’, ‘</span>’); ?>
<span class=”thecomments”><?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments ?’, ‘1 Comment ?’, ‘% Comments ?’); ?></span>

<!–Below I have removed the Read More–>

<?php /*?> <div class=”readmore”>
” rel=”bookmark” title=”Continue reading the rest of this entry ?”>Read More
</div>
<?php */?>

<!–Above I have removed the Read More–>
</div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”navleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘Older Entries’) ?></div>
<div class=”navright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries’) ?></div>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
<p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.php”); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hello christer.trasti,

Your read more button is located inside your theme. Look inside the index.php file, you should see it.

If you have any questions, let me know ??

Hello drmolly,

I have solved my issue – it began when I set my Permalink Settings to “Month and name”. I needed to reference the swf file using an absolute url.

hope this helps, if not, post a reply

Hello, If you are still having this problem, I can help.

I got it,

Using the following:

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<p>“><?php the_time(‘j.m.y’); ?> / <?php the_title(); ?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Wow, the Otto’s php code widget Plugin is great, I was able to use the same php that I used in the content area of the theme.

Thanks for all your help t31os & MichaelH

Regards,

Ok, we are getting close. Below is the modified code I used:

<?php
$posts=get_posts(‘showposts=5’);
if ($posts) {
foreach($posts as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<p>“><?php the_time(‘j.m.y’); ?> / <?php the_title(); ?></p>
<?php }
}
?>

But it only shows the oldest post “Buds” twice. It is not showing each post. How can I modify the above code to show each post and not the same post twice?

You can view the results here: https://www.organic-tote-bags.com/blog/
The results of the above code, appear beneath the heading “Test Code”

Yes,
* WINTER DARK
* BUDS

are the previous posts I would like to display, having the post date on their left-side. They are currently being displayed, using the “Recent Posts widget”.

Beneath “Archives” you will see:
by adminBUDS
by adminBUDS

These are the results of the php code you provided, using Otto’s Plugin.
