ahhh after looking through header.php I thought I’d see if the entry…
if (!is_paged() && is_home())
….on line 37 was to blame, so searched google for “is_home()” and found something about “is_front_page()” and thought I’d try changing the entry, and it seems to have worked ??
oh well, that wasn’t too hard to fix I guess. hope that helps anyone else that might have a similar problem ??
