Title hyperlink with Thumbnail Template

Hi bmg

Can you explain more about what you mean by “but the actual title of the post is not an active link.” Does it mean the post doesn’t have a title, or something else?

The file is correct but the code you posted is for related post thumbnails in a feed. Maybe you meant this:

$image_output =  "<a href='$url' title='$post_title_attr'>$gallery_image</a>";

Sorry, I meant that the title isn’t an active link to the post, it just shows up as text. So in order to view the post, I have to click the thumbnail. I would like to be able to click both the thumbnail and the title of the story to link me to the post page.

No problem ??

Try it with this in your theme’s functions.php

add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'link_related_caption', 10, 3 );
function link_related_caption( $caption, $related, $args ) {
    $caption = '<a href=' . get_permalink( $related->ID ) . '>' . $caption . '</a>';
    return $caption;
}

If you need it with the post date (as in the other topic) use this:

add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_caption', 'link_related_caption', 10, 3 );
function link_related_caption( $caption, $related, $args ) {
	$date = '<span class="related-post-date">';
	$date .= get_the_date( get_option( 'date_format' ), $related->ID );
	$date .= '</span>';

	$caption = '<a href=' . get_permalink( $related->ID ) . '>' . $date . $caption . '</a>';
	return $caption;
}
