posts show the same date and edit link

[Bri-]

All of my posts appear to have the same date (the date of the most recent sticky post) and all of their "edit" links go to the same post (no matter which I try to edit, it will take me to the edit page for the most recent sticky post). Also, some of the posts are out of order (they should be in descending order of the post date). If I go to the dashboard, I can see the actual dates (which are not all the same), I can edit any of the posts, and they appear in the correct order.

If I make all the posts not sticky, they all have the same date and edit links of the most recent post. In other words, it seems to show the date and edit link from the first post for all posts.

If I change some of the Suffusion options so that all posts are shown in full, it seems to fix the problem. However, I don't want all posts to appear in full on the home page (I want some of them to appear in a list below, and I want to limit the number of posts that appear).

The web site in question is http://www.cub830.org.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Most of your posts seems to have markup errors: see at validator.w3.org

<div class="announcement">

Your posts can't start with a closing </p> and ends with unclosed <p> tags. Go and edit a post, switch to HTML mode of editor and look at your source. If you see a construction like above, starting with </p>, you will need to go through all problematic posts and corect the markup. If your post look correct, without this starting </p>, try to go at Suffusion Options -> Backend -> Site Optimization and try to pick an option which say "ugly source code" or "Auto-generate the CSS and link it as a file"

Yes, Wordpress's editor seems to insert "</p><p>" tags when it thinks there's a paragraph break, even when it's the first paragraph (which means there won't be a matching "<p>" at the beginning).

I can't imagine that would cause the problem I'm seeing though.

Delete first </p> and add one </p> at the end of post. Go through all posts seen at validator as wrong (as I remember was just few, maybe 10). Probably this will solve the problem with dates too...

Usually, Wordpress remove <p> and <br/>, not add wrong tags... Probably you have a plugin with this bad behavior.

None of the erroneous </p> tags are actually in the posts. Either Wordpress is adding them or some plug-in is doing it. I have very few plug-ins installed so I don't think it's a plug-in but I guess it's possible. Let me see if I can get rid of those errors. I can't imagine extra </p> tags would cause the problems I'm seeing with the ordering of posts but I guess anything is possible.

OK, those errors are gone and it still has the same problem.

Edit one of the posts and in the edit window top right change the published date to yesterday. Then view the post on the site and see what the date is now and let us know. Then we can maybe give you some other suggestions.

I changed the top post to June 1, and they all display June 1. I then changed the second post to June 2 (which moved it to the top of the page since it's sticky) and now they all display June 2. Essentially, they will all display the date of the post that appears at the top of the page. The "Edit" links for all the posts are all the same and will always edit the top post regardless of which post you're trying to edit.

Some things to try

1: Reset your Permalinks
2: Reinstall Suffusion
3: Reinstall Wordpress

I suspect that the problem is Wordpress rather than Suffusion given what you have found.

Let us know how you get on

[Bri-]

OK. (1) How do I reset Permalinks? (2) Is there a way to re-install Suffusion without losing all my settings?
