}It also adds a READ MORE call to action link right after the author, if you make them block elements it adds to a nice display of information under the thumbnail.
The last bracket there ends right before
if ($crp_settings['show_credit']) {
So copy this and paste up until then. For later versions and questionable starting lines, it goes right after the if/else of if($crp_settings['match_content']) {
Hope this helps someone!
