Thank you for such a fast reply.

Two Other Question:
? How will that make the icons appear under posts? Will these still be horizontal?
M How to custom color the icons? Make each a different color?

Hey Kaymistress, No problem. Duplicate Theme is an excellent and supper easy plugin. This theme is awesome too. Hope it all goes well.

Hi kaymistress,

If you go up a few posts you can see where I say
FIRST. Ex:
I. Create Child Theme
FIRST: Create a CHILD THEME with the plugin Duplicate Theme. There is no coding just install and follow directions; make sure to check create a child theme when doing this. Then, go back to themes and activate the child theme.

To create a child theme use the plugin Duplicate Theme.
1. Install this plugin: Duplicate Theme
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Look under Appearance in the Dashboard of WordPress.
4. Select the Duplicate Theme plugin.
5. Follow the directions of this image:
<img src=”https://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa424/yourzomgguide/Childtheme_zps00a90399.png&#8221; alt=”Dait or Wait” width=”400″ height=”300″ class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-904″ />
Follow the rest of the directions that I posted in the first post where I included this answer.

Good luck!

OMGOSH! Sooo excited!!

Thank you for that. I think being able to create plugins is an amazing gift/skill. Yours is a nice performing plugin and looks great too.

I am really inspired by your plugin – started a build-a-plug-in tutorial yesterday on tuts+.

Anyway, thanks for answering quickly and having a solution. Biting my nails … smiling … its like waiting for a sequal to an epic movie!

Sorry, I meant horizontal. If you want to add like 4 images in a 1/4 box (small images) they display vertiacaly. I would like them to display horizontally. The other 3 boxes of the row are text.

Also, If you could add:
1. widget shortcodes like Shortcodes Ultimate has.
2. verticle shortcodes for inside columns, (so you can add img links vertically)

Thanks.

.postimage is your image on your post and {display: none;} is the command you are using to not display the thumnail image on the post page. This modifies the code to rewrite the command so the featured image is not displayed in the post but leaves the code/command that lets the featured image be displayed as the thumbnail.

The reason you would use a child theme is because you will be adding code. This code will be erased with every update unless you use a child theme. It’s up to you. Yes, you can use the two different images on your site just the way you described.

Lazy Load helps but you will have to try it to see how much for your site.

The child theme will be an exact duplicate of the original and it is what will be in place, the original will be there in you themes area unused. To make sure it is active, just go to appearance -> themes after creating the child theme, and choose the -> theme details on the themes image. Then choose to -> activate. It will be the theme active for your sites pages and the original will just exist, unused in your themes.

Do you use Godaddy for hosting? I use them and it is easy to create a backup for your site. If you are worried, create a backup first.

To help with the page loading you can use the plugin Lazy Load at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/lazy-load/

Child Theme: Yes, you need to make a child theme. The Duplicate Theme plugin is very easy and requires no coding. After installing it go to your dashboard and under appearances you will find the Duplicate Theme option. Choose this and then choose your themes name from a drop down menu. Next, Check-mark the box that says “_Create Child Theme to selected theme What is this?” then, create a name for the child theme. (I use the themes name and add a number or additional word to it). Then hit the button that says “Duplicate Theme”. That’s it, you have made a child theme. Make sure this new child theme is activated when following the rest of the direction. You can easily delete the child themes like any other theme if you change in the future.
Back-up your site if you’d like before doing this, but it really is as simple as the directions.

You are probably asking the author of this theme, but:

If you are using the same image for both:
Are you trying to save memory space? You can use tinypng.com to make your images smaller files anywhere from 25% to 85%. This way you do not have to use a low-res image.

If you want the *thumbnail img and *page image to be different; you can use the code-fix above and just add the full size img to the page.

You’re welcome!

I have the solution!

I. Create Child Theme
FIRST: Create a CHILD THEME with the plugin Duplicate Theme. There is no coding just install and follow directions; make sure to check create a child theme when doing this. Then, go back to themes and activate the child theme.

II. Install Jetpack and connect it with your WordPress.COM account.

III. Use the Jetpack Custom CSS plugin
Go to your Jetpack from wordpress dashboard and choose the plugin Custom CSS and select configure. This will take you to a CSS input area where you can add any css adjustments you want. (Note: if you have not connected your jetpack to wordpress.com it will not show the configure option.) This css area is seperate from you themes files so you add anything and not worry about it.

IV. Add this code:

.postimage {
	display: none;
}

Don’t forget to SAVE and that is it! Go to the blog page and notice there is not the postimage there any longer.
