You can copy the entire source code of a page of your site into an HTML editor and remove the content and sidebar divs, and replace them with your own. That’s a pretty easy way to make a static page that looks like your WP theme.
Also, if you can use wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’) then I’d imagine you could also use query_posts()
yeah static won’t work as i’ll need to re do it for every new post i make
also about query_posts() how do i use that in the above code instead of wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’) thanks

Sorry I forgot that you don’t want a static page. Another way to do it is to use conditional code in your theme so that one of the pages does not display the sidebar, and the content div gets wider (if necessary).
ok i’m a little lost now i did this but all i get is a blank page:
<?php
// turn off WordPress themes and include the WordPress core:
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false);
require($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/at/wp/wp-blog-header.php’);
?></p>
<?php
//The Query
query_posts(‘posts_per_page=5’);
//The Loop
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
endwhile; else:
endif;
//Reset Query
wp_reset_query();
?>
remember that the path
['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/at/wp/wp-blog-header.php
has to be correct for your site
why do you have that </p> in there?
What about something like;
<?php
$the_query = new WP_Query('showposts=5');
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
or maybe
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php
query_posts('showposts=5');
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
and the rest of your loop code up to:
<?php endif; ?>
Well that second one is obviously wrong but I’m getting to the point where I can’t write any more code tonight.
