Ok so Wordpress wins again
I have http://www.plusonetesting.co.uk/cooper/news/
which is set to be the page which displays my posts (under the reading section in Settings - as I am using Home as a static home page).
I have this basic loop in there just to show something on the page (not interested in formatting at this stage).
I have a post in the posts section which I am expecting to show - but alas nothing (well sort of) - can anyone help please.
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?> <h2><?php the_title();?></h2> <div class="entry"> <?php the_content(); ?>

Courses Plus Student 14,966 PointsAh yes Jon but it is not the post from the posts section it appears to be just showing the page name as a h2 title

Jon Hockley
3,781 PointsJust a tip: I would recommend using body_class() inside your body element in header.php
This will help you work out which file Wordpress is using to display the page (And save me asking you ;) )

23,733 PointsGraham, in "View Source" mode, it appears you've used the WordPress.org/codex instruction file but removed all of the actual php loop commands, so there is no loop. Where is the loop code you listed above, and does it also include the 'else' and 'endwhile' parts of it? Hope that helps a bit.

PHP code isn't rendered in the browser, so we won't see it in the source code when viewed using the inspector.

Courses Plus Student 14,966 PointsAh it because I was not using home.php for the articles that I wanted to show therefore it was just showing the loop of the actual page contents and not the posts.. DOH!!
