It would be a lot easier to first move <?php the_post_thumbnail();?> in index.php so that it came before <h2 class="entry-title>.
i don’t have either of those in index.php
my whole index.php template is
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]
would it be somewhere else?
If you have a loop.php file, try looking in there.
ok, i found these similar lines in my loop file and moved the first higlighted line to underneath the second highlighted line… http://wordpress.pastebin.com/HQacmi91
that just seemed to move my post title to underneath the thumbnail though, which isn’t quite what i wanted.
Correct – but that was only the first step.
aha! sorry 🙂
so what is the next step after i’ve moved everything to underneath the thumbnail?
i’m guessing i need to do something to the thumbnail code to make the text hang to the right of it? this is the code i have so far, which puts the thumbnail above all the other information… http://wordpress.pastebin.com/aNMWKSia
or do i need to add some code to all the other info to make it cling to the right hand side of the thumbnail?
actually, i must be doing something wrong. i just noticed that when i move the post title and other info to below the thumbnail, he post titles disappear from my category page. very odd.
i’ll put the whole code up on pastebin, because i have no idea where i’m going wrong…
code with post title above thumbnail http://wordpress.pastebin.com/9Nq0qcCc
code with post title below thumbnail (but post titles disappear in category page) http://wordpress.pastebin.com/MRT4Xsd5
roughly line 122 onwards on both dumps.
Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme! Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.
i’ve created a child theme. i’m assuming i’ve done it correctly?
ah, that looks much better. and now what’s the process of getting the thumbnails to float to the left of all the text?
Edit style.css and change:
#content .entry-title {
color: #0066CC;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.3em;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.entry-content, .entry-summary {
clear: both;
padding: 6px 0 0;
}
to:
#content .entry-title {
color: #0066CC;
display: inline;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.3em;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.entry-content, .entry-summary {
padding: 6px 0 0;
}
wow, that looks absolutely brilliant. thank you so much for your help and patience.
i promise not to ask quite so many silly questions from now on 🙂
No problem. And the question/issue was far from silly. 🙂
