Thanks for replying John James, I appreciate it! Andrew -
It’s likely that you are running PHP4, which is an old version of
the server software required to run WordPress. Soon WordPress
itself will require you to run a more recent version of PHP. If you
contact your web host they should be very happy to help. Good
luck!

Andrew: Alternatively it’s ‘cos you is runnin’ php4, see: http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/wordpress/custom-post-template/

Andrew: Take a template with a working ‘wordpress loop’ and change only the loop part to either Simon’s demo code or my second paste-bin. Any old template would do. You could take a copy of category.php for instance.

I’m new to all this, where do I have to put the code? I’ve tried placing it on the template page but get the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

Works like a charm.

To my utter amazement the following works:

It’s far a simpler query, but the only prob I have now is to filter out posts that have a start-date before ‘today’.

Hi James. Can you post your code into http://pastebin.com/ or similar so we can see it?

Wow, this looks like a great method, but it doesn’t seem to work for custom post types. (In my case, ‘event’ by ‘start-date ASC’)

In any case, the loop isn’t outputting anything, without any errors.

Any ideas?
