# $post missing?

 * Okay, I posted earlier tonight and I figured out how to get one post to show.
   But as I make new posts, it’s not updated.
    Ideally I would like to have 6 posts
   displayed on the index.php. I can’t get it. When I put the code: `<?php if ($
   posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>` into my page, it seems that
   the $post isn’t found. To get the single post to show up i put simple start_wp(),
   without the if/else statement. But I without the if/else I can’t get more posts
   to show up on the page. Any suggestions?

 * It looks like you have removed too much wp code.
    The post title should be a 
   permalink, it isn’t. Without that being a permalink, you cannot have archives,
   you’ll have problems with trackback and pinging too. You need everything inside
   The Loop – all of it. [http://www.wiki.wordpress.org/TheLoop](http://www.wiki.wordpress.org/TheLoop)
