Hi Esmi,

You did my site before, and I am having a glitch with the front page. Not sure what’s causing it. Do you mind looking to see why I have the newest post i wrote showing at the top of my page when it shouldn’t be there?

Just popped up this morning…

OK I am really stumped… I have added the <?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumbnail’ ); ?> to my loop below in my TwentyTen Child Theme, however thumbnails only show on my blog page, and not in specific categories, or archived categories. Also, I want the thumbnail to show on the left side of the post so that there is a cleaner look. Can someone help me get this to work properly?

<?php /* How to display all other posts. */ ?>

<?php else : ?>
<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h2 class=”entry-title”>” title=”<?php printf( esc_attr__( ‘Permalink to %s’, ‘twentyten’ ), the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ) ); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<div class=”entry-meta”>
<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-meta –>

<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
<div class=”entry-summary”>
<?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumbnail’ ); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-summary –>
<?php else : ?>
<div class=”entry-content”>
<?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumbnail’ ); ?>

<?php the_excerpt( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘twentyten’ ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”page-link”>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘twentyten’ ), ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) ); ?>
</div><!– .entry-content –>
<?php endif; ?>

Aichymyth: I did try adding the “get_thumbnail” code here where you suggested as well, but for some odd reason I am not seeing my thumbnails appear. The featured posts on my front page are just the most recent 4 posts and this section of my blog just pulls images at random from a image folder on my server.

I was under the impression a random image would only be used if I didn’t choose a featured image fkr a Post. This is only codee for My front page lime this which is a Custom template. Do you think this is what is screwing up my olvide posts?

I am stumped, cuz once I add the thumbnail code the image should appear right? Hope you can help, you have been great this far.

just for reference, my site is: http://www.jerodmayer.com

Anyone, have a direction of help for me?

I do have too many links to place in the nav menu only. However, I thought if I did the blog format for these, then I could eliminate the links, and just have the pages in blog format. However, since the information is specific to what buyers might want to know, I am not sure how effective the blog structure would be. Also, what do you think about my Testimonials page? That page has testimonials from past clients, and I update that page about every couple months. I was thinking of making this page a blog category… I also wanted to code my homepage, to pull a random blog post each time the page is loaded. Just looking for the most productive way to set this up. If you have any suggestions on layout, etc I would love some input.

Does anyone have any insight about this? Just wondering what would be the best method for my site. Hope to hear something.
