Also, how can I use <?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?> inside my if statement for the thumbnail?

When I do this, it doesn’t work:

<div class="entry-thumb"><?php
			if ( has_post_thumbnail() )
				the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' );
			else
				echo '<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/default-thumb.png"/>';
			?></div>

I got it to work by fixing that code and removing the second endwhile and endif; however I need those second endwhile and endif; in order to display the navigation links and if it doesn’t show up. Here is what my code is in pastebin:

I tried using that code both with the code for the loop added and without it and it came up with an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in ../ConnorCrosby.net/wp-content/themes/cctheme/index.php on line 8
Line 8 would be the if( $counter == 1 ) { ?> line. Thanks very much!

I tried using that however I get an error. Here is my code:

<?php
		if (have_posts()) :
		$counter = 1;
		   while (have_posts()) :
		      the_post();
		if( $ counter == 1 ) {

		<div id="entry-featured">
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
			<div class="entry-thumb"><?php
			if ( has_post_thumbnail() )
				the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' );
			else
				echo '<img src="https://connorcrosby.net/wp-content/themes/cctheme/images/default-thumb.png"/>';
			?></div></a>
			<h1 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
			<div class="entry-meta">December 12th, 2010 in <a href="#">News</a></div>
			<div class="entry-excerpt"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
			<div class="entry-more"><a href="#">Read More</a></div>
			<div class="clear"></div>
		</div> <!-- end entry-featured -->

		} else {

		<div class="entry">
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
			<div class="entry-thumb"><?php
			if ( has_post_thumbnail() )
				the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' );
			else
				echo '<img src="https://connorcrosby.net/wp-content/themes/cctheme/images/default-thumb.png"/>';
			?></div></a>
			<h1 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
			<div class="clear"></div>
		</div> <!-- end entry -->

		}
		$counter++;
		   endwhile;
		endif;
		?>

Thanks!

You were viewing that when I deleted a couple lines of code to see if that would correct the problem, that is why there were errors. I know there is still some left, but I will fix that later.

Oh nevermind. When I updated my site (deleted a post) it shows the site normally, plus the CSS file updated.

It shows a couple of errors, but wouldn’t it still at least show some elements. Here is the link by the way.

Yes it works! Thank you so much!!

Awesome! I will test this and let you know if it works or not.

This code also seems to work if you get rid of get_theID() from inside the parentheses.

It worked! All I did was copied this code <?php echo wp_get_shortlink(get_the_ID()); ?> and it shows up nicely. Thank you!

I changed it to the_shortlink and it now shows the post ID, however I would like for it to show the whole link (including example.com?=” or whatever it shows. Thanks!

I tried using that code and it does not work. I doesn’t show anything.

*bump*

Never mind, I figured out the problem myself.
