Full Version: Recent Entries
Hi: Since I'm a total novice and have no idea what I'm doing, I need your help. For some reason, all my recent entries are not working. No matter which I click on, I get the same post. I have not messed with the default language at all. The only thing I've done was to add some new categories and then re-edited specific posts to be filed under the new categories.

Make sure you are not using <MTEntries> and </MTEntries> tags in your Individual Entry Archive template (i.e., remove them).
As I said earlier, I'm a total novice, so when you tell me to go to the Individual Entry Archive Template and remove CODE
<MTEntries> and </MTEntries>
I understand, but cannot for the life of me find an Indvidual Entry Archive , in order to do so. Right now, I'm feeling really stupid. I have searched all the Archive Files and cannot find it anywhere. I went to the Main Index File and found the Recent Entries listing, but did not see anything regarding Individual Entries.
Please, explain to me, in layman terms, just what I have to do in order to correct the problem with the Recent Entries, showing the same post, regardless what post name is being clicked.
My URL is strangedame.com should someone care to check it out. Thanks!

There should be an option like this one.
Multiple topics merged.
Please post only once for the same problem, thanks!!
Please post only once for the same problem, thanks!!
I really need someone's help. All my recent entries, when clicked, go straight to my last post. I had asked about this yesterday and was told to go to my Individual Entry Archive Template and see if this code was there and to remove it if it was.[CODE]
I could not find it on the template, so now I'm back to where I started. I'm a total novice and need some very basic steps, in layman's language. Please tell me what to do to fix my Sidebar's Recent Entry listings. My URL is

I will be forever in your debt if you will help me with my problem. Thanks!

Merged a third post into the first two.
Hi Girlie:
Believe me, I'm not trying to be a pest, but apparently you did'nt read the full content of my last post. Yes, I found Mark's advice very helpful, and I did find the archive, but as I said, in that post, I checked it out and the codes I was told to remove were not there, so as I said, I'm right back where I started. I still need to know what I can do to correct my recent entries so they work, as they're supposed to.
As to my double posting earlier today, that was purely accidently, and I didn't know how to change it.
I have worked with too many people for too many years to ever try and make a pest of myself. As I said earlier, I'm a novice, but I'm trying to learn. Believe me I exhaust a lot of time and utilize other resources, before I let my total lack of CSS show for all the world to see, by posting in this forum.

Hi Again, Girlie:
I thank you so much for trying to help me. Here's the code, as you requested. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you go to Blog Config in the sidebar, then "Archiving" in the links across the top, in the "Individual" row, what templates do you have, and what are their Archive File Templates? The highlighted parts here are what I'm asking about.
You may only have one row of stuff there, and the Archive File Templates may be blank; I'd just like to know what you have there.
You may only have one row of stuff there, and the Archive File Templates may be blank; I'd just like to know what you have there.
I'm sorry about the delay in getting back to you, but I had a minor emergency that had to be attended to. I went to the area that you said I should and here's what I found. The Archive Type is checked, The Individual Entry is also checked, but the area under Archive File Template is totally blank. That's probably my problem, but I don't have a clue as to what goes there. Hope I'm not too much of a drag. Thanks for all your time and if you can help further, please know that it's appreciated. 
One other thing that you might check, although it can't be the only thing wrong... in the Weblog Config under Preferences, see what the "Preferred Archive Type" dropdown says.
The pages that your blog is making look more like Date-based Archives than Individual Archives (there's no comment form directly on the page like there should be.)

Much to my dismay, here I am again. All of you have been very helpful in your suggestions, but I'm still at the same place as before. I continue getting the same post, over and over, regardless which entry title I click on in my Recent Entrie's sidebar.
I have followed all suggestions, but to no avail. Here's where I stand: In my Archiving Preferences, Individual is selected. In my Archive configurerations, Archive Type: Individual is checked and Individual Entry Archive is also checked, but there is nothing entered in the windows to the right of either of the checked entries.
I am feeling so dumb and distressed because I simply don't know what else to try. I'm sure there is something very simple that will put it back the way it should be, but I'm not privy to it, I have searched this forum and have found some helpful info, which I tried, but didn't work. I also spent hours trying out things from the users manual, but always ended, back at square one. Please, someone, tell me how to resolve this, so I can quit bugging all of you and get back to posting. Here's the link to my site:Strange Dame
I'm ill and need to lie down for awhile, but will check back in a few hours. Thank you in advance for any help you might give me.

In your archiving selections, do you have any other rows besides Individual checked, perhaps with
Try doing a complete rebuild to make sure the problem's really still there.
Don't suppose you'd want to let me take a look for myself, eh? You'd need to make a new account on your system with Edit Templates and Configure Weblog privileges and email or IM me the name and password. I understand if you'd rather not, but I can't think of what else it could be; maybe I'd see something I'm not thinking of.

strangedame had a second Individual archive type set up, using the Category Archive template; neither had Archive File Templates set, so they were both using the default of
<MTEntryID pad="1">.html. The archive files using the Category Archive template were being written over the ones with the correct Individual Archive template.
Thanks, Mark.
