WordPress removes empty paragraph tags between paragraphs (correct code behavior). If you want more space between your paragraphs, adjust it with css in your theme’s style.css.
Are you using the_excerpt() to pull the content?
Im just using the code above. It’s like it’s not reading the CSS for some reason. When I view the post from the wp directory it’s fine and perfect.
Here is my complete code: I just added the Start and End code
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./wp/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
<?
include('header.php');
?>
<div id="content">
<!-- Start the Loop. -->
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- The following tests if the current post is in category 3. -->
<!-- If it is, the div box is given the CSS class "post-cat-three". -->
<!-- Otherwise, the div box will be given the CSS class "post". -->
<?php if ( in_category('3') ) { ?>
<div class="post-cat-three">
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="post">
<?php } ?>
<!-- Display the Title as a link to the Post's permalink. -->
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<!-- Display the Post's Content in a div box. -->
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
</div> <!-- closes the first div box -->
<!-- Stop The Loop (but note the "else:" - see next line). -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<!-- The very first "if" tested to see if there were any Posts to -->
<!-- display. This "else" part tells what do if there weren't any. -->
<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
<!-- REALLY stop The Loop. -->
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?
include('footer.php');
?>
If I set the define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false); to true it doesn’t do anything except make a duplicate entry on my index page….for the life of me I just can’t get it to call on the wp’s theme css…
What’s the URL to your site?
