 * I need some help in figuring out why the wrapper div isn’t affecting the loop
   in my theme. Here’s a copy of my index.php:
 * > <div id=”wrapper”>
   >  <?php get_header ();?>
   > <div id=”loop”>
   >  <!– Begin Loop –> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while(
   > have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   > <!– Generating the Post // Title, Date, and Author –>
   >  <h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID();?
   > >”> ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”> <?php
   > the_title(); ?></h2> <small><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> <!– by <?php the_author()?
   > > –></small>
   > <!– Generating the Post // Post Content –>
   >  <div class=”entry”> <?php the_content(‘
   > Read the rest of this entry »’); ?> </div>
   > <!– Generating the Post // Additional Details –>
   >  <p class=”postmetadata”> 
   > Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> **|** <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’,”,’**
   > |**‘); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments»’);?
   > ></p>
   > <!– End Loop –>
   >  <?php endwhile; ?>
   >  <div class=”navigation”>
   >  <div class=”alignleft”><?php previous_posts_link(‘«
   > Previous Entries’) ?></div> <div class=”alignright”><?php next_posts_link(‘
   > Next Entries »’,”) ?></div> </div>
   > <?php else : ?>
   >  <h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2> <p class=”center”> <?php
   > _e(“Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”); ?></p>
   > <?php endif; ?>
   >  </div>
   > <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   >  </div>
 * It seems to be working just fine for the header.

 * See the forum rules about posting code.
 * What do you mean about it, “Affecting the loop”? Why would it? It’s outside of
   the loop.
