The problem here is that a post can belong to a number of categories, like Sport and Basketball, if your posts have more than one category then you may have problems, if the first category is fine then something like get the first category{slug} from the post and use this as the post class:

<?php
/* Gets all the categories for the post as an ARRAY */
$category = get_the_category();
/* if we have categories get the first slug {nice_name} */
$class = ($category) ? $category[0]->slug : '';
?>

Now we add our Post_Class() name Category = “Basketball Teams” {slug} would be lowercase and no spaces basketball-teams, this code would be in the content or loop area:

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class( $class ); ?>>

Then in the style.css you would create a style

.basketball-teams {
   background: #e0e0e0;
}

If this you are using several categories per post, then you could think about ( custom field, post meta boxes, or adding a category dropdown to be selected on each post, then use get post meta to set or return the category for style class.

<?php
/* Has a class name been set in the posts meta */
$class = get_post_meta( get_the_id(), 'css_class' , true );
if(! $class ) {
	/* Gets all the categories for the post as an array */
	$categories = get_the_category();
	$class = ($categories) ? $category[0]->slug : '';
}
?>

.
ALL CODE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED

On the right change the staus to [ resolved [^], it will stay in the forum so other might find it in the search and resolve their issues.

Code snippet for content.php in a twenty eleven child theme!

<?php
	global $wp_query;
	$divisor = 6;
	$counter = ($wp_query->current_post + 1) % $divisor;
	$class = $counter ? 'recent-' .$counter : 'recent-' .$divisor;
?>

   <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class( $class ); ?>>

Based on your posts per page $wp_query->current_post will start at zero, so ten posts returns 0 – 9

Set the $divisor to the number of styles, you want 6 others might want two for columns.

% $divisor; will return 0 if the counter is divisable.
So we get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

$class = $counter ? 'recent-' .$counter : 'recent-' .$divisor;

This will concatenate 'recent-' and $counter if $counter != 0, if $counter == 0 it will concatenate 'recent-' and $divisor

recent-1, recent-2, recent-3, recent-4, recent-5 and recent-6

Last we set our class with the post class post_class( $class );
WordPress will append our class to the post classes!

<article id="post-1" class="post-1 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized recent-1">

Then in the style.css

.recent-1 {

}

.recent-2 {
}

Pretty Neat!

Use get_post_meta($post_id, $key , $single )

<img class="film" src="<?php echo get_post_meta( $post_object->ID, 'img_actor', true); ?>" alt="" />

EDITED looks like the answer ^^^^

I can see it is now working with the 560px image width, so it was not what I suggested, what was the problem?

A quick look at the website images, the linked images are all 630px wide, but the studio shot full size ( /thisISsilly.jpg ) is only 560px wide.

From the pastebin code!

// checking if the file size is larger than the target size
// if it is smaller or the same size, stop right here and return

At a guess I would think that function looks for an image at least 630px wide, the main image needs to be at least 631px wide so it can be sized?

Replace the image with a larger one and see if it still errors.

Can you put the code in the file thshpr_image_resize.php up on http://pastebin.com and paste a link back to this topic.

Also if you know the code that is calling the function, paste that in a second pastebin.
