I changed the code and it's now working perfectly! Interestingly, I had an e-mail from a lady in Canada (I think) saying that she had been having the same problem I had with wordpress where it wouldn't let you post through adobe contribute. I realised that, having sorted my problem with not being able to create posts in wordpress and as I now do my posting directly through the wordpress admin system, I hadn't tried to use contribute again, which was how the problem first came to light. After this lady's e-mail, I went into contribute to set up my blog and see if it would work and I haven't been able to get contribute to connect to my blog. It asks me for the blog host (to which I select Wordpress), it then asks me for my username and password (which I assume are the details I enter at the admin screen of wordpress) which I enter and it then says it can't connect. Any ideas from anyone as to why this might be or how else maybe to sort it? Thanks again Sarah. Regards Andy Hi Sarah,

In the index.php page check to see if you've got the_content() or the_excerpt(). The first tag will display full content, the second displays just the excerpt.

I have a problem with a new installation of Wordpress, for an experimental website I'm running. It keeps displaying whole posts and not the summary that my other blog site displays. I have this problem before but can't remember how I sorted it. As far as I can see, the settings from both Wordpress installations look the same, so I'm stuck. I know it's probably something obvious but I've been staring at it for ages and now my eyes and brain are hurting. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Andy Hi folk's,

To be honest with around 10 sites using the default theme directory for their theme, I don't think I'd want to set anything like that up on that many sites!

Then when wordpress updates you can simply re-sync the two to undo the wordpress damage.

I need to try reuploading the files and see if that fixes my comment problems. The upgrade is an annoyance though and I'm suprised it happens like that, but I guess it is its first outing so it may be improved on in future versions.

This post is the first that highlights any errors or problems that come with it.

I did it too when I got some errors in my site. And now it's better. New update download of wp 2.7 is better now Hello Sarah :)

Changing the directory isn't too much of a hassle, but I just think it's a bit of a flaw, especially when the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress">upgrade notes</a> say not to change the wp-content folder, and to take care. This automatic upgrade seems to have forgotten that. Cheers Wesley, unfortunately I don't have SSH access at present.
