anyone? ??

esmi – I only need it for a section – maybe 10pages.

Root, was wondering if there was a plugin.

Rev. Voodoo,

thanks a bunch for your help. I still can’t get this thing to work right. I am using Thematic, so not sure if there are issues with how that deal is supposed to work. I found this

add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
	set_post_thumbnail_size(128, 128, true ); // 128 pixels wide by 128 pixels tall, hard crop mode

function my_post_title($title) {
	if (is_category()) {
		return get_the_post_thumbnail(NULL, 'thumbnail') . $title;
	} else {
		return $title;
	}
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_posttitle', 'my_post_title');

And all it does is add an additional thumbnail. Not sure what I am missing here.

well, in functions.php you can delete that very first line…. yu see it is identical to the fourth line.

OK, I was not sure about that.

That’s it. Is that correct? You only want a thumbnail in that categroy, otherwise nothing in its place? If so, you are good

Yes, I figure I can add more if need be.

Yes I was not sure where to add that code?
like so?
<?php
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
if( is_category(‘the-waking-prince’) ) :
the_post_thumbnail(‘the-waking-prince-thumb’);
endif;
$wp_query->query( array( ‘posts_per_page’ => get_option( ‘posts_per_page’ ), ‘paged’ => $paged ) );
$more = 0;
?>

I really appreciate your help!

so this is what I have in the functions.php

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
   // THIS IS THUMBNAIL SUPPORT
    if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) { // Added in 2.9
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
	set_post_thumbnail_size( 75, 75, true ); // default thumbnails
	add_image_size( 'the-walking-prince-thumb', 286, 126, false ); // Story of the Story.
	}
	?>

then in the template file (after the wp loop) I added:

<?php if( is_category('the-waking-prince') ) : ?>
    	<?php the_post_thumbnail('the-waking-prince-thumb'); ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

is this correct?

THANKS! ??

Alittle confused though.

if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) )
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); 

if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) {
	add_image_size( 'the-waking-prince-thumb', 286, 126, false );
}

the-waking-prince is the slug of the category with the addition of “-thumb” right? This is what I added to my child themes function.php file.

Is this correct so far?

I would rather not used a category template since it is not much difference so that leaves me with conditional?

that would be followed by

is_category('the-waking-prince')
so

if (is_category('the-waking-prince') ) {
    what goes here?
}

I thin the problem is that in the actual wp editor.
For example.

<div id="1">the user adds a basic parapraph to two. </div>
<div id="2"> User adds image.</div>

I want the user to be able to style the content like this.

Thanks folks,
That is what I was looking for. I saw the body-class but was not sure how to call the category.

I think what alchymyth suggestion might be the one.

THanks again, will give it a try.

esmi- what I mean to say is that the designs are different, new plugins, slideshow banner etc.

I understand if the themes where like for like in structure etc then i could just switch them out and it would be a matter of style.

I am wondering then if I add the new theme, I would have to then repeat the steps (adding the new plugings, reorganization the the widgets etc) which would mean the site is down for at least half a day?

The part I am confused about is that I have new plugins in addition as well as a custom menu etc. I also added a banner with custom banners etc.

SO there is some content from the new site that will not match the old as well…

here is the approach that seems to have possibilities.

1.) I moved the site to a new directory keeping the old one intact and running for current users.
2.) I activated the new theme, and basically have had to implement the new widgets etc etc, restyle some things etc. But the idea is to get this new theme working in additions to the bizzilion plugings.
3.) Let the user test this one out alittle and make sure it is all working savy.

4.) Move this one into new directory backing up and replacing current one.

ADAINt, gosh there are so many plugins and alot of seo, slugs blab blah it’s hard to tell which is not and which is relavant. Tehy are all active so I assume they do something or the other.

Has anyone used this approach, any pitfalls or better approaches?

kill me please.

it is an original install.

I mirrored it on another server for now to try and figure out a solution. Why would anyone need 26 plugins, good grief.

Thanks!!

thanks!

would this be changed then in the main template file?
