[resolved] Thumbnail ohotos in posts-need help (9 posts)

    Hi,

    I am using a theme called Riva on my site http://runnerrugsonline.com I love the theme, but it is set so that the thumbnail photos I put in my posts only show up on the front page. Otherwise, the post must be opened to see the photo. If a reader goes to a category list, all that shows is headlines.

    I sent a help request to developer, who emailed me to say I needed to join his forum. I registered for that and have since been waiting for approval for two days.

    Can anyone help me with the coding needed to get the photos to show up throughout the site?

    I appreciate your help.

    Thanks so much,
    Vicki

    Hi esmi, thanks for the link. I only saw instructions for inserting an image in place of text in an excerpt. I didn't see anything about different thumbnails displaying for each post.

    Sorry, I am a newbie with regard to code.

    You need to either edit your existing category template file or create a new one that uses <?php the_content;?>.

    Right, but I don't know what code to insert to call the photos.

    You don't need any additional code. As long as the <!--more--> tag is inserted after the photos in your individual posts, the photos will show on the front page.

    Hi Esmi, the photos already show on the front page. It is in the archive lists that I want them to show.

    Thanks

    Then edit your existing archive.php template file or create a new one that uses <?php the_content;?>.

    I am sorry, but I am new to this.
