Adding a WATERMARK to a thumbnails if in a specific category

The code posted above seems to be malformed.

Wow that was helpful lol

I do not know why it pasted that way ??

<div id="video-grid">
    <?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 12 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
    <div class="story">
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'grid-thumb')); ?></a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>
      <p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo excerpt(12); ?> Read More</a></p>
    </div>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  <div class="clearer"></div>
</div>

well, there’s not a lot we can do with malformed code. Lines like:

<a>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'grid-thumb')); ?></a>
<a>"><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>

make absolutely no sense and suggest that you posted the code initially without using the code button on this forum. Try posting it again – in a code block this time…

Where is the line of code for adding in the icon?

Hi,

Sorry I was away, I am attempting to do this outside the LOOP and it was hard to find good info on it, I am pulling 12 recent stories, with THUMB, excerpt (12 words) Link, on my homepage – I am looking to add in code that can also allow me to plop a PNG on top of thumbnails from a certain category – like watermark.. Lots of fun ??

HERE IS THE CODE WITHOUT THE CODE PASTE

<div id=”video-grid”>
<?php
$args = array( ‘numberposts’ => 12 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>

<div class=”story”>
“><?php the_post_thumbnail(‘thumbnail’, array(‘class’ => ‘grid-thumb’)); ?>
“><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<p>“><?php echo excerpt(12); ?> Read More</p>
</div>

<?php endforeach; ?>

<div class=”clearer”></div>
</div>

Paste is still looks all wrong, there is a paste above that looks right though – I am asking how to add in a code that adds the watermark. Sorry for the extra posts.

Can you try adding the code block between backticks, use the code button or try using a pastebin?

Here is a link

The best way I have come to is to have a conditional tag on the THUMB class – if it is category A use THUMB class A, if it is all other categories use class B – I do not know how to modify this to do that out the loop.

Hope that helps and much appreciated !

Anyone know how to add in a conditional tag for the thumbnail class?

Why does my thread say RESOLVED? Lol

It doesn’t. Try https://pastebin.com/3XLQLRwJ

Hey – that really did the track for the CLASS on the THUMB – but I cannot layer a img on an img using CSS – maybe it would be best if it left the img class and changed the STORY DIV? I do not know how to get the PNG of a video icon to layer ONTOP of the THUMB. Any ideas?

thanks for help

Sorry – not sure I follow you…
