I use Cutenews on my site but for some reason, it isn't showing. I checked all my cutenews files and I also checked the PHP code used to display the news. I made sure that I used a PATH url instead of a full url. I can't seem to find anything wrong with it so it could be my comp. Does anybody have any idea as to why this could be happening?

*sigh*

Thanks.

would you mind giving the full code to the page you're trying to display cutenews? it's next to impossible to figure out a PHP error without the original source code, since it's server rendered.

Um your site isnt showing up? Did you accidentally cut and paste the code or something? but for your problem try these different things... since I cant view your site or know the location of all the directories change /mikeplyts/cutenews/show_news.php to mikeplyts/cutenews/show_news.php and then try .../mikeplyts/cutenews/show_news.php The dots tell it to go a folder down. And of course check all the directories and the spelling and that kinda stuff.

Also what is this: $only_active=TRUE; I have never seen it before and it may be interfering.

$only_active=TRUE; is something that I used to only show the active news. I forgot where I got it from but I tried removing it. It still didn't work though.

does it work if you remove both parameters ($number=1; and $only_active=TRUE;)? the server is reading show_news.php (otherwise it would return false and display an error), so it might have something to do with that.

Ya your right?! SInce it is pointing to the right place make sure you check the actual cutenews file its pointing to. And make sure you have chmod all cutenews files to 777. If you dont know how to do that I can post some screenshots.

Yeah, I already CHMOD all the right files and I've also tried removing those two parameters but it still won't show. I even tried using the PHP code on a blank page using only the include parameter but it was still blank. That makes me think that there's a problem with my show_news.php file but I checked it and it looked completely fine to me.

^^ his server is writing to the storage file just fine, so it's not a chmod problem. you could go to his show_news.php file and the entries display properly.

Man...this is weird?! Umm you could try and make sure php is enabled on your site? But all your other includes are working!

id still suggest trying to take away the / in the include. And may I ask why do you have cutenews in a folder called mikeplyts? Why dont you just put cutenews in the public_html folder?
