In reply to: Using Excerpts in 3.0Here’s is one way to do this, it’s kind of hackish, but it’ll get the job done. I’m sure there is a more efficient method, it’ll just take time to develop.
First the actual Excerpt
You’ll use the “Excerpt” edit box, just below your post edit box.
Put an
<img class="thumbnail" src="path to the image you want">
You can go to the media library and select show to view the info for the image you want, then copy the url for the image from there, and past it into the src=” section of the image tag. Don’t use the insert image button at the top of the edit post box, it’ll only put it at the end of the actual post.
Also you can put any HTML and text you want to use in the excerpt edit box, just like you would in the post edit box</p?
In the style.css
.thumbnail{float:left;width:yourwidth;height:yourheight;margin:20px;}
In the index.php find the line that reads something like <?php the_content(‘Read More… ‘); ?> remove this line and replace it with
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
This will force WP to use the information from the excerpt edit box if you put anything in it.
If you don’t put anything in the excerpt edit box, then WP will use the set number of characters from your post(the default is 55) and it’ll strip any images and html from the post.
This method requires you to manually set up each post this way. Only for the Excerpt edit box. The .thumbnail class, and the
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
only need to be set up once.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Using Excerpts in 3.0I see what you mean now.
There doesn’t seem to be a way to set it in the WP editor, and I can’t find it in the singlepost.php.
I guess we’ll have to write our own include. I’ll look up the function and get back to you.

In reply to: sidebar widthIt’s just a file that’s being loaded as a background image, it’s in the directory named images.
Look at the line background:url(“images/sidebar-top-gif”)
#sidebar is just a <div id=”sidebar”> and it has it’s background set to display the image sidebar-top-gif.gif or sidebar-top.gif.
The name of that image is questionable…

In reply to: Using Excerpts in 3.0You’re probably using an image that is a thumbnail.
Right click on the image in single post and view it’s properties to see how big it actually is, or just click on it to load it into a page.

In reply to: How to really delete a themeOpen your FTP client, click on the themes directory, then left click and select refresh. Now check to make sure the theme you wanted to delete was actually deleted.
There might be an .ataccess file, which is a hidden file, you’ll have to set the hidden attribute to true before you can delete the file and the directory it’s in.

In reply to: Using Excerpts in 3.0Go to the post in question, remove the image, click the “Add Image” icon, open the “Media Library”, and select the image you want to use, then check the radio button for the size image you want to use which will be (150 x 150 Thumbnail), and click “Insert into post”.

In reply to: Changing the name of the home tabHave you looked in categories on your dashboard?
You can probably change it there rather than changing it in page code it’s self.

In reply to: Using Excerpts in 3.0You can place the <!–more–> tag at the point in your post where you want the excerpt to end.
