Is there a way of calling the contents of that page in the sidebar.

Solved it myself

<?php // This Function Powers the thumbnail image that is used in my portfolio
function return_ThumbNail($Thumb) {
if (preg_match('/<img[^>]*>/',$Thumb,$Treffer)) {
$Thumb = preg_replace('/(<img ).(alt=\'\').*(src=\'[^\']*\').*( \/>)/','$1$2$3',$Treffer[0]);
$Thumb = preg_replace('/(.[^.]* \/>)/','.thumbnail$1',$Thumb);
} else {
$Thumb = false;
}
return $Thumb;
}
?>

I could’nt get this to work with my install so I am instead using the following code to achieve the same affect.

<?php // This Function Powers the thumbnail image that is used in my portfolio
function return_ThumbNail($Thumb) {
if (preg_match('/<img[^>]*>/',$Thumb,$Treffer)) {
$Thumb = preg_replace('/(<img ).*(src=\'[^\']*\').*( \/>)/','$1$2$3',$Treffer[0]);
$Thumb = preg_replace('/(.[^.]* \/>)/','.thumbnail$1',$Thumb);
} else {
$Thumb = false;
}
return $Thumb;
}
?>

You need to change the main index.php file in your main theme directory

Just to make it easier for people coming in off of search engines (Like me). This is the final code you need

<?php if ($post->post_excerpt) :
$output = $output = $post->post_excerpt;
$output .= ' <a href="'.get_permalink().'" rel="bookmark" title="Read the rest of '.the_title("","",false).'">Continue reading...</a>';
echo apply_filters('the_excerpt',$output);
else:
the_content();
endif;
?>

Hope this helps

Its ok I have fixed it i simply changed the following code in “template-function-post.php” from
$css_class = 'page_item';
if( $page_id == $queried_obj->ID) {
$css_class .= ' current_page_item';
}
to the following
/* START OF EDIT */
if( $page_id == $queried_obj->ID) { $css_class = 'current_page_item'; }
else { $css_class = 'page_item'; }
// This makes the current page have the 'only' the current_page_item class and all other pages the page_item class
/* END OF EDIT */

remember to backup before you edit the core files and as ever note down wqhat you changed and when, you will regret it otherwise.

Cheers Tom

Hi this isn’t really a fix just a thought
Have you tried disablng all your plugins and activating the default theme, if so does this fix the problem or not?

Right so do i just set up on user with all permissions
will people be able to post comments still or do i need to set up another user with limited permissions.
I dont really know what i am talking about any help would be great
