PROGRAMMING

I'm trying to add a static box and text at the bottom of all my wordpress posts. I want it to be under all the post and widgets but above the comments box.

I'm trying to do this in the single.php file but am having a very hard time getting it to work. Whenever I add text, links or images in this php file...all code below it goes away.

As you can see, I got the box to show up using a <div class="optinbox"> </div> but I can't get a small arrow image or text to show up inside the box.

Here is an example of what it looks like so far.

Beginner Workout Routine For Kids

So how can I get text and an image in that box without messing up the rest of the code?

It will be the following text plus a red arrow image.....

</div>

You mean the code above wouldn't work? I replaced your non-web long dash...

You can try the "Add Post Footer" plugin. Search for it on the wordpress plugin site.

Yes, the above code wouldn't work for me. When I add that code on my single.php page the following code goes away.


<?php comments_template(); ?>


<?php endwhile; else: ?>

Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.


<?php endif; ?>


</div>


<?php get_footer(); ?>

If this was html here's the code I want to use.

<table style="border: 3px solid #CC0000;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" width="500">
<tr>
<td style="padding-top:15px;"><a href="http://www.myfamilyexercise.com/kids-exercise-newsletter"><img src="http://www.myfamilyexercise.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/red-arrow-1.gif" style="margin: -4px 10px 5px 0px;" border="0" alt="Free Kids Exercise Report" align="left"></a>

Honestly, I don't believe it.
Looking at the source code of your page (at the link you posted above) - the DIV thingy already is THERE in your code... it's just empty... AND the code below is also there and working. I can tell you because I know what that code does and I see its result on your page!

<

HTML Code:

!--include comments template-->
    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    
        <!--do not delete-->
    <?php endwhile; else: ?>
    
    Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.

<!--do not delete-->
<?php endif; ?>
    
<!--single.php end-->
</div>


<!--include footer-->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

1. All the template files ARE html (+PHP).
HTML is "responsible" for the visible part of it, i.e. what the browser shows you (adding the style from the stylesheet) and the PHP portions just add the functionality to interact with the WP engine and with the database.

2. You don't need the table because you already have a "div" with reddish border. Did you really try to use the code I gave you in your template file?
