posts and thumbnails

I want this too… let me know if you find out… and I will if I find it.

try this… add to posts-in-page/posts_loop_template.php
Add just before <!– This is the output of the EXCERPT –>

<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
  the_post_thumbnail();
}
?>

Hi-

I have a similar issue as the OP.

When I’m writing my post I include the shortcode [ic_add_posts category=’travel]. “Travel is the category I want list posts for on my Travel Page.

When I preview it includes the “Uncategorized” category posts as well. Why? Can’t figure out.

What I want is for my page to display a list of posts from one category with a thumbnail for each and just an excerpt, not all the content of each.

I feel like I’m missing something really obvious, but I can’t seem to get it.

If anyone responds, please keep it simple. I’m really new to php and all that.

Thanks!

Do you have a typo in your post or your code?
You have no closing ‘ at the end of travel in the shortcode.
Add the php snippet about for the thumbnail.

You probably want to swap the post for the except… I removed the post detail as I wanted no text.

I wrote a typo in my question but the actual shortcode was correct. However, I think there is something wrong with the category of ‘travel’. I tried a different category, and it worked fine. Hooray!

I’m prefer the layout to be a bit different though. Similar to this:

A thumbnail size of my choosing, on the left, accompanied by the title and excerpt of the post (size also my choosing). Is this a difficult task to pull off. I’m not great at php but I can power through if necessary ??

Thanks for anyone’s help!
