I thought that you’d led me to the answer, but I’m not quite there. Maybe you could help.

I used to just make a file in the /wordpress directory that I called news.php which had [include wp-blog-header.php] line and then the loop. This no longer works.

Do you think there is an easy way to make this work again? (The reason is I used to just use that as a templateless file which I called with a php include from my homepage.)

Hi Again,
This code has been working out quite well for me. I wanted to know though, how I could alter it to exclude multiple categories. (As in if an entry is from my music or movies categories, it is skipped and the next most recent entry’s excerpt is displayed.)

Thanks,
-Beth

Hi Richard,

I’m not sure what my problem is, but I cannot, for the life of me, get your code to work when I know it should. I have been using WP for quite some time and would love to figure out what I am doing wrong, but even after following your directions step-by-step I can’t get it to work.

Any thoughts, advice or words of encouragement would be tremendously appreciated.

Great site by the way!

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Thank you very much for publishing this code. It made my life so much easier. With a slight modification (stating the location of wp-config.php, and css), I got exactly what i needed.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for this. I like the fact that it doesn’t require a plug-in, and it offers more options for managing the dynamic homepage content than what I’m using now.
Best,
Steve

This is exactly what I needed and does the trick! I only tried the first part, but I’m going to try the excerpt part when I get home from work today. Thanks so much, this is incredibly helpful!!!
