Thank you so much for the fast response. I would have never looked at #wp-calendar or #inner_content

I’ll give that a try and let you know the outcome.

Kim-

Yes, I have email subscriptions activated under publicize. Thanks for the links, I’ll check it out and let you all know if it helps.

The exact setup I’m looking for can be found at http://www.georgiapellegrini.com. Check out the blog section.

I’m converting this site into a WP theme – the in-progress url is http://www.georgiapellegrini.com/wordpress

The issue is, the original site was built by someone who didn’t know WP very well. I can’t figure out how posts are being displayed here, as there is no “Blog” category, or “Blog” page in WP admin, but there is a “Blog” link in the nav bar. The “Blog” section on the original site pulls posts from all categories. Categories are typically the city in which the post was written – the cities are displayed in the byline via custom fields.

My question: How can I convert this setup to a proper WP structure?

wonderful, thank you! it worked like a charm.

RESOLVED

The coding needed to be tweaked to work with php5.

I removed <?php endwhile; else: ?> and replaced <?php endif; ?> with <?php endwhile; ?>. That did the trick.

If anyone can offer an explanation as to why php5 requires the said change, it would be much appreciated. I used trial and error but have no clue what I did right:)

Here’s the coding for my single.php loop. There are two endifs at the end, but I’m not sure which one needs to go. Seems to generate the same error no matter which one I remove, so maybe it’s my structure?

<div id="single_wrap">

	   <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> 

		<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
			<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
            <div class="stamp_single"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?><!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --> | <?php comments_popup_link(
	'No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></div>
			<p><?php the_content('<p>Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</p>'); ?></p>
			<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
			<?php the_tags( '<p>Tags: ', ', ', '</p>'); ?>

						<div class="nav"><?php
$prev_post = get_previous_post();
if($prev_post) {
   $prev_title = strip_tags(str_replace('"', '', $prev_post->post_title));
   echo "\t" . '<a rel="prev" href="' . get_permalink($prev_post->ID) . '" title="' . $prev_title. '" class=" ">&laquo; Older posts</a>' . "\n";
                }

$next_post = get_next_post();
if($next_post) {
   $next_title = strip_tags(str_replace('"', '', $next_post->post_title));
   echo "\t" . '<a rel="next" href="' . get_permalink($next_post->ID) . '" title="' . $next_title. '" class=" ">Newer posts &raquo;</a>' . "\n";
                }
?></div>
		</div>

        	<div style="border-bottom:1px dotted #C0C0C0; margin-bottom:10px; margin-left:14px; margin-right:14px; padding:0px
                0px 10px 0px; clear:both;"></div>

	<?php comments_template(); ?>

	  <?php endif; ?>

  <?php else : ?>

		<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

The following query worked for me – pagination is now working like a gem.

<?php
$limit = get_option('posts_per_page');
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('showposts=' . $limit . '&paged=' . $paged .'&cat=');
$wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
?>
  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
