WP Only Showing 1 Post on Main Page

In the settings, I tell it to show up to 10 posts on blog pages though. I don't see other settings anywhere. When I switch to a default template, it works fine. When I put it on the one I downloaded and edited, it doesn't work. Any ideas as to what I probably did to screw it up? The blog is at http://blog.bizammo.com

The template package you are using.
COuld be in one of the files it has a default of one post and needs to be changed.

 

Jenn, check the index.php file - the code should be in the loop, if it's not I think it can get confused and only display one post.

 

I didn't make any changes to the code in this particular file, so is there a chance another template file might have done it if I changed something wrong? Sorry. I'm completely clueless on this, and this is only the first day I'm even attempting to play with it. I'll include the code for the index.php file. If something jumps out, would you be so kind as to let me know? I didn't see anything that make me think it was dealing with post counts... but then again, like I said, I'm pretty lost on this.

Thanks.

Jenn

Jenn, I'm not a PHP expert, or a WP theme expert neither, but PM Colleen, and I am sure she won't mind taking a quick look at it. (sorry Colleen hehe)

 

Thank you. I PMd her.

 

i'll take a look

edit: okay, i just looked in your source and found your theme called in-business.

http://blog.bizammo.com/wp-content/themes/in-business/

if you go there, you'll see that it's missing the index.php file, or rather, it's missing an important portion of it.

now take a look at this,

http://blog.bizammo.com/wp-content/themes/in-business/home.php

it's exactly what your blog is currently showing.

what this means is that the theme purposely only shows the "latest post" layout. the index.php file can only and must be overridden by a home.php file for the query_posts and posts_per_page perameters to work.

find the home.php file and look for something like this,

<?php
get_header();
query_posts('posts_per_page=1');
?>

Code (markup):

and change the number to your liking.

 

Thanks. I just checked, and unfortunately there isn't any file called home.php with this theme I downloaded, or with anything else in my WP folder on the server. Would I need to create one? If so, would anything need to be there other than what you mentioned? I'm sorry for being so clueless about this. I just wouldn't be surprised if it was something incredibly simple that I managed to screw up.

i'm gonna download the theme now and take a look. i'll post back with what i find.

 

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

 

before i dive into the files, get your site xhtml validated, it might be a simple issue such as forgetting to close a tag.

k i just compared the default index.php with yours with digitalpoint's compare tool.

in your code, it looks like you tried to place a link with the anchor "business broker."

<a href="http://businessbroker.bizmp.com/businessbroker.html">Business Broker</a>

Code (markup):

well, searching the page in firefox comes up with nothing and it looks like your theme is missing the footer as well when compared with mine.

the problem is, you forgot to close the div that you opened seen here,

<div style="visibility: hidden;"><a href="http://businessbroker.bizmp.com/businessbroker.html">Business Broker</a>

Code (markup):

just place this after it,

</div>

Code (markup):

and you should be good to go.

 

That's a link put in by the theme author... I remembered seeing it because of changing a spelling error before re-pasting the original earlier, but seriously, I never would have caught that after staring at this stuff for the last 16 or so hours. (not just the blog... but still... too much). That officially makes you my favorite person for the day. Thank you so much.. and for pointing out the comparison tool. I hadn't seen that before. It's working just fine and dandy now.
