Does Anyone Know How To Do This?
Had some help earlier...http://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-ten-category-archive-thumbnails?replies=11
That worked just fine but now I need to edit the size that code is spitting out and nothing I do will work. Following the codex to the letter and it crashes my wordpress install.
Please help.
if you use the_post_thumbnail() then pass the size in the function like
the_post_thumbnail(array(50,50))
NOTE: Check once the Codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail

Cut and paste into the thread here? I saw a moderator/member flip when someone else did that...

I notice you are doing all your edits to twentyten?
You may wanna read up and get going on a child theme before you lose all your work

I know all about that. This is a test site anyway. I need help with thumbnails please.

Maybe you have to re-upload the second image so WordPress can create the post thumbnail sizes.
Posted 1 year ago #
Have tried that.

Can you try that again because the first picture is linked to the correct image size: LightheadCover-260x198.jpg. And the second picture is linked to the full size picture. Check with ftp or or whatever file management application your host provides if the other sizes are available in your upload folder wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ .

It did this on the other site and with other pictures, cutting the picture in half instead of resizing. And yes, other sizes look to be available in FTP.

Did you figure it out? When I look at: http://portnoy.emprisereview.com/?cat=13 It looks like the image size is changed?
Posted 1 year ago #
Yeah, kinda. The change made there worked much better on the real site. Now it's a matter of locking down CSS.

Last question: How do I make it so that the excerpt is next to and not below the thumbnail?
Posted 1 year ago #
try:
img.wp-post-image {
float: left;
}in your style.css
Posted 1 year ago #
Afraid of that. I had the float and had the thumbnail going left but the text was staying down below the thumbnail.
Posted 1 year ago #
try deleting: clear: both; from this in your stylesheet:
.entry-content,
.entry-summary {
clear: both;
padding: 12px 0 0 0;
}and change
img.wp-post-image {
float: left;
}to this:
img.wp-post-image {
float: left;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
}

Is anyone still watching this thread? I have another question.
I need different thumbnail sizes. The default thumbnail is 100x150, which is fine. I also need the opposite ratio, so let's say 150x100.
I know the code to add in the function.php file, I think my problem is in the template page.
*****code starts*****
<div class="entry-thumbnail">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'category-thumb' ); ?>
<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
</div><!-- .entry-thumbnail -->
*****code ends******
I pasted in the '<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'category-thumb' ); ?>' line to my existing and working template and I wasn't given the option for the second thumbnail. I'd guess it's some and or language I need--I don't know what it is--
