I didn’t solve the problem, per se, but I did find a suitable workaround on another forum thread:

Check it here.

It suggests using cURL in place of includes, because there’s some security feature enabled on the server. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to servers or advanced PHP, so rather than try to rewrite files, this seemed to be a good solution for me.

For the record, those error messages were only displaying on pages where I had both includes and the wordpress loop running. If I removed either, the problem stopped happening. I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

Sorry for the double post; I got a request timeout message, and it didn’t seem to go through… Didn’t mean to clutter the forum.

I know I might be asking the question wrong, but I’m sure the idea of what I’m trying to do isn’t THAT out of the ordinary. Has anyone else implemented this on their blog?

I have the same problem. I’d prefer to only have the first post display a summary, while previous posts display titles only.

If the above code does accomplish this, could someone elaborate on how it does so? I’m not entirely ‘getting it.’

Thanks. ??

You might try using:

<!– more –>
<!– noteaser –>

Any text above these tags will be displayed as an excerpt on your index page, but will not show up in the post itself.

That way you could include whatever text you want on your index page without compromising the look of your single post page.

It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but it will accomplish the same result in terms of appearance. ??

I’ve been battling issue after issue with reformatting wordpress into my site for over a month now, but I finally got all the code to behave. I fixed the footer problem last week, but at this point I can’t remember the bit of offending CSS that ended up being the culprit.

I looked into it, and you were right, Root; extra closing tags add whitespace. I don’t think that ended up being my problem here, but now I know. ??

Quite serious, Root. ?? To the best of my knowledge, extra </div> tags aren’t even parsed because the tag was never started with a <div>, therefore, there’s nothing to close, so nothing happens. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

drmike: thanks, I removed that <center> tag (content is now centered with margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;) unfortunately the problem persists… Thanks for the help though.

I have a sneaking suspicion the problem is somewhere in the php actually. Shouldn’t <?php get_footer(); ?> automatically place the footer below the posts?

I’m not sure what you mean… I wasn’t kidding about what I said; I guess I could be wrong about extra </div> tags, but like I said, I removed the extra closing tags, and the problem is still there.

I have a funny feeling that the problem is in the php–shouldn’t the <?php get_footer(); ?> markup put the footer below all content anyway?

EDIT: thanks drmike. I removed the <center> tag, though, and it didn’t help (the content is now centered via margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;).

Closing non-existent divs doesn’t deactivate others that are properly marked. For the sake of argument, I removed the extra closing tags. They weren’t the problem.

I forgot to upload the swf! Wow, I feel really dumb, lol. I can’t get to the computer with the swf on it right now, but I tested out a different one, and sure enough, it worked.

Thanks so much for the help!

Since the javascript is obviously being parsed, I assume the drop_down.js must not be working because of an error in the script itself, or where it’s called (the drop down menus work in Firefox and IE7, but in any earlier version of IE, they don’t show up…thus I use the js).

Thanks again!

Thanks for the help, Otto. I tried the code you suggested, but it didn’t work, so I changed them to full links. Alas, no change.

I noticed that though the js doesn’t parse in firefox or IE, the page doesn’t even load completely in IE. It sits with "Opening Page (1 item remaining)" in the status bar. I imagine that has something to do with the problem.

I’m so beaten with this issue. :/

Okay,

I’m trying to implement two scripts:

1. SWFObject to swap out a flash movie in order to get around the IE active content border.

2. A script related to the css drop-down menu on the left. I need the js to get around IE6.

The problem exists on IE and Firefox. I haven’t tried safari, but I can’t ignore an IE problem anyway. I did read the Using_Javascript article.

Thanks for responding to me. I’ve been wrestling with this problem for nearly three weeks.

Well, I still haven’t fixed the problem. I was really hoping to use wordpress for this site, but if the javascript doesn’t work, there’s no way I can do it.

Was this a stupid question for me to post, or has no one heard of this problem before? If anyone has time to clue me in, I’d be really grateful!
