    I’d like to easily create internal links on my blog and have the internal links call the thumbnail and excerpt from the post I’m linking to.

    Kind of like this:

    View post on imgur.com

    Is there any way to automate this?

    That’s actually really helpful. For some reason, it’s not able to pull the actual thumbnail. There’s just a blank box where the image should be. But I’m sure I can figure it out.

    Thanks so much!

    You’re welcome.

    Let me know how did you insert the shortcode, did you specify post ID in id attribute, and if the posts have thumbnails associated..

    I put the post ID into the shortcode and it pulled all the rest of the data correctly. The other weird thing is that blank box where the thumbnail should be actually links back to the CURRENT page I’m on, not to the page with the post ID I put in the shortcode.

    And yes, the post ID does refer to a post with a thumbnail, although the post I’m pasting it into does not have a thumbnail.
