I used a tutorial from sitepoint.com to make a magazine style home page where posts have a thumbnail with abridged text using a custom function in a child theme for the loop. Oddly, the description shows up in between the <p> tags just before the actual post. Somehow, the content I entered in the featured image of the post "bleeds" in front of the post content only on the home page. Help? Thank you.
function nwdn_indexloop() {
query_posts("posts_per_page=6");
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="<?php thematic_post_class() ?>">
<h2><?php the_category(); ?></h2>
<?php thematic_postheader();
if (has_post_thumbnail() && !is_paged()) {
the_post_thumbnail('homepage-thumbnail');
} ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="more">
<?php echo more_text() ?></a>
</div>
</div><!-- .post -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<h2>Eek</h2>
<p>There are no posts to show!</p>
<?php endif;
wp_reset_query();
}
