Navigation and template problem

    Dear people,

    I’ve tried the search function with the term “navigation”. It is usefull but i’m having a few problems in particular. For all cases, my site is: http://www.killerbee.dds.nl/blog.

    In WP version 1.2, i was using the navigation-plugin by Lester Chan. This nice plugin has become useless in WP 1.5. I’ve replaced this plugin with the WP-Paginate plugin by Scriptygodess. Also, the template (Mallow) is a little pain in the ass for navigating around my blog. When i’m navigation around the index, archives and categories, no problems occur. Clicking on a posting itself (the permalink and/or <!–more>-tag) gives the problem that the whole navigation fades away. I’ve maked a link to the index in my topheader.php but this solution drops users all the way back to the frontpage of my blog. I can’t figure out a solution, anyone with idea’s: please help me!

    Then the commenting function. A boring “0” is showing next to the title of the posting. I’m really new now to the new way of making WP-themes, so: could someone explain to me how to edit the link to the commenting-function?

    Thanks for any help and/or advice in advance.
    Alex.

    The navigation stuff goes away because whatever themes you’re using has chosen not to display it for single post pages :)

    To put it back, try editing single.php in your theme’s directory and inserting

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    Right above <?php get_footer(); ?> If you don’t see that footer line, try jsut putting it at the bottom of the file and see if it works.

    The 0 is likely from the following tag in the index.php of your theme’s directory.

    http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Tags/comments_popup_link

    (That site’s down at the moment, but it will be back up soon. You can look at http://wiki.ww.wp.xz.cn/?pagename=comments_popup_link in the meantime, but it might be a little out of date – I don’t know)

    Thanks for the reaction.

    The suggestion for placing <?php get_sidebar(); ?> right above the <?php get_footer(); ?> wasn’t working fine. It really screwed up the layout, the sidebar was popping up right below the comments-form. That’s not really esthetic, i’d say 🙂

    I have fixed the problem somewhat by doing this:
    <?php include “topbanner.php”; ?>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    This fixing has a bad side: the sidebar is showing but the content of the opened posting is just below the header. But it’s a good start for now, although i don’t know where to position the sidebar-tag whilst not pulling down the contents. My arm gets hurt by all that scrolling 😉

    The comments-popup-link works fine now, although it’s a little bit linked with the whole navigation-problem. Thanks for the suggestion.
