Was there ever a solution? The default themes work fine, but two different downloaded themes fail and show the header only. Here’s the index.php:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="main">
<div id="content">
<!--- middle (posts) column content begin -->
<?php if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
<?php require('post.php'); ?>
<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
</div>
<?php } } else { ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php } ?>
<p class="center"><?php posts_nav_link() ?></p>
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
