Calendar and Posts troubles
-
Is there a way that the posts can be filtered to ONLY show on the date they were posted. As it is set up now, if I post on the 9th – The calendar correctly displays a post to that date. However, when I post on the 10th, post posts on the 9th and the 10th appear. I want to set it up to where the posts are only displayed on the day actully posted. What am I missing?

Link the calendar to my wordpress.com blog??? I didn’t know there was a way to modify widget settings. Any more help you could provide would be much appreciated.

What Vivian means is, can we have a direct link to your blog? We need to take a look at it, since about 30% of the questions we get are from people in the wrong forum and a glance can tell us whether this is the case.
There’s a sticky thread at the top of the forum on making your name a link to your blog, like Vivian and I have done. Saves time and that way when you leave comments, people can check out your blog. Very useful.

Going out on a limb here, but the URL might be: http://hopechapeljournal.wordpress.com/ . Of course, they may have multilple blogs and be asking about another one.

In the calendar, it I click on 9, I get one post: http://hopechapeljournal.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/september-9th-journal-entries/ which was posted on the 9th.
If I click on 10, I get one post: http://hopechapeljournal.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/to-be-prepared-or-not-to-be-thats-a-good-question/ which was posted on the 10th.
That is the way the calendar works. It brings up all posts made on the day that you click on.

http://hopechapeljournal.wordpress.com/ is our site. When I pull up that page (not using the calendar) the main page that opens first shows all the post. Is there a way to keep that from happening?
-
That is what a blog does, it shows all posts on the main page in chronological order. If you only post once per day, go to settings > reading and set it to display only one post per page.
If you post more than once per day and set it to display only one post per page, then the older posts from that day will be bumped to the second page.
The only other way I can think of is to use a static front page and then every time you post, edit that static front page and put a link to that particular post for the current day, and delete the previous link.
-
so, if I have 15 contributers – if understand you right – in 5 days there would be 75 posts on the front page? – yuk.

No, you can set your blogs main page to display any number of posts you wish. Go to settings > reading in the admin area. You can set it for one or one hundred, or anything inbetween. What you cannot do, is limit it to only the current date.
-
Posts over the amount you specify under settings > reading, are pushed onto additional pages which can be accessed by a “previous” posts link that appears at the bottom of the main page, and all additional post pages.
