Create a custom page template, directions can be found here:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages#Page_Templates

And then insert the code that produces the recent posts in the sidebar to this custom page template file .. that should work..

Can you please post the code that you inserted, or the complete code from your index.php and archive.php files at this website, and provide the links here:

https://pastebin.com

You should still use the entire <object> embed code to inser the flash file.

The path you are using to the flash file seems to be correct.

Try using the full code, and not just the <embed> stuff ..

If that doesn’t work, post back and we can see what else could be wrong ..

Please use full paths to the flash files.

I am guessing your flash file is not being displayed since the paths are relative right now, and the path that wordpress is assuming is not the same as where the flash file itself resides on your server ..

Post are both in the index and the archive pages, how they are displayed varies according to what you are viewing.

Both the index.php and the archive.php page of your theme have the Loop, so you need to change it in both places accordingly ..

Please try correcting validation errors, this helps in finding out the exact problem.

From the looks of it, you have a bunch of unclosed tags, like splosh mentioned ..

Maybe you want to try taking these errors out and then we can move forward better ..

The theme location is not specified ‘hardcoded’ in the internal files I believe ..

It is set in the database as an option, more specifically, option called ‘template’ this being your theme directory name, and an option called ‘stylesheet’, which again refers to the theme stylesheet name I think.

And the exactl path to the theme files are built up dynamically using path variables that WP uses at run time ..

The current theme is set using the WP admin panel, under the “Presentation” tab.

The themes that are currently available for WP to use is obtained internally. So if you want to add your own theme and make that the current theme, just add the theme files into your wp-content/themes/yourthemename/ and then login into the admin panel to switch the theme.

Hope this helps.

Can you try removing the Skype button from the sidebar and then trying to see if that works?

Please read through the information in the codex. There are instructions on how to create custom Page templates

You don’t actually need the [ and ] in the id name .. I was just using that to explain something, not in the literal sense .. ??

Or maybe someone else comes along and sees something that I am missing .. someone .. ?

The only way I see now is to modify some code in the WP core files to accommodate this ..

Contact me here skullcoded (at) gmail (dot) com .. so that I can help you out properly ..

I am not sure anymore how to help you through the forums ..

OK its very hard for me to work on it without directly meddling with the code myself, small issues are fine but this seems to be a bit out there ..

Anyway, feel free to contact me at this email address, and I can help out properly ..
