I haven’t removed or changed anything. I have tested only on offline local testbed.

I have uploaded your revised code to live site now, so you can check it.

I don’t see where your example fit into the above code…?

I am using a YARP template (yarp-template-post-thumbnail.php), but it does not give such an option and I need help to code a two-column layout.

This is the content of the template:

<h3> Related Posts</h3>
<?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>
<ul class="related-posts">
    <?php while ($related_query->have_posts()) : $related_query->the_post(); ?>
    <li>  <?php $postimageurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'image', true); if ($postimageurl) { ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/thumb.php?src=<?php echo $postimageurl; ?>&h=150&w=300&zc=1&q=100" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="300" height="150"/><br /></a>
            <?php } else { ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/thumb.php?src=<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/default.jpg&h=100&w=100&zc=1&q=100" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="200" height="100"/></a>
            <?php } ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>

            <p class="post_meta"><span class="details"><?php _e('Archived in ', 'woothemes' ); ?> <?php the_category(', ') ?></span></p>

    <?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php else: ?>
<p>No related posts.</p>
<?php endif; ?>

Hi Esmi,

Could you please link to these discouragements!

Google returns 38 700 000 hits on ‘timthumb’, so I extremely widespread it is.

I’m looking into your partner LinkWithin-Inspired YARPP Template, but like many others I have no luck in getting any image on thumbnails yet. Despite using timthumb – in fact Woothemes use it by default on the Aperture theme I use. They only change the file name to thumb.php.

Frustrating, as yarpp is a really excellent initiative, but that little extra with thumbnails is really hard to make work….

Hi,

That is contrary to all other plugins, and WordPress logistics. Plugins go to directory..\plugins, themes go to directory ..\themes. This making certain that plugins are not theme dependant, so that when changing a theme the plugin will not change version/loose files.

Why cannot these files be utilized in their default location when plugin is installed automatically?

That said – when I copied these files to theme directory, I had the following result:
yarpp-template-example: “Related posts” in bold otherwise same posts without using it (no additiopnal info)
yarpp-template-list: “Related posts” in bold, otherwise same posts listed.
yarpp-template-photoblog: “Related posts” in bold, no posts listed.
yarpp-template-random: “Related posts” in bold, otherwise same posts listed.
yarpp-template-thumbnail: “Related photos” in bold, but no posts listed.
yarpp-template-wpml: “Related Posts B” in bold, otherwise same posts listed.

Common to all is that no additional information to the post title is displayed. In addition no score is displayed when logged in as Admin.

What’s most important for me is the ability to either display photo, and/or the categories of the related posts.
