Apologies,

Sorry Greenshady I did not read the comments on your site before and did not realize that you are Justin Tadlock. I apologize for my mistake and thank you very much for the excellent instructions on that linked page which I used and implemented and it works beautifully!

Actually guys, I should thank you I ended up with a code that I inserted into my archive.php and functions.php and presto thumbnails with search results, which was what I was looking for. Being a novice a plugin is the first thing I am looking for and read everything I can about them to avoid and stay clear of code inserting because it is a scary thing for me personally, I do not understand what exactly a particular line of php actually does. Not to mention that with the next theme update all will be gone and the code inserting would have to be redone. I did not think this is a plugin like feature as well. So forgive for mistaking your plugin for an automated plugin like all the other plugins that I use. I found and used these instead:

I installed this plugin, spent 10 minutes looking for it in the dashboard couldn’t find it. Then I read the read me first html file in there you find the user group mentioned plus the fee. This is not a plugin, a plugin supposed to work as opposed to looking for files and inserting code into them according to the description of this “plugin”. Maybe I am too harsh, but wasted time trying to understand how to make it work before actually reading the “instructions”, not to mention that it is useless the featured image inside wordpress does all what this “plugin was supposed to do”.

keesimeier, thanks very much!

I am under the impression that wp should generate the alt text automatically just like it does the title tag from the jpg name. Is this not the case?

Alchymyth thank you so much, that was it, the space!

By default the number of search results displayed on one page are the same as the number of posts on the main page. I wanted one post only on my main page, but all the search results. There is a plugin called Custom Post Limits by Scott Reilly to solve this problem. I have it, it’s perfect, works with wp 3.0.

Thanks very much Esmi, I solved it, had to color each container separately as they were transparent.

Alchymyth thanks very much it worked!

Well it does not work, the code is not parsing. I tried all kind of themes just to see what happens, Thematic, Titan, Thesis, Jessica Fletcher Redux and the default as well.

I want only one blog post displayed on the main page. Because my images are large otherwise my site will load next year. So only one page for me, if one page is selected than all search queries, including tags, search, archives, categories will only display ONE search result. If I set the show max number of blogposts to let’s say 20 then I will also get 20 tag search results, categories search results etc.

I tried the above solution and it does not work probably because I am putting it in the wrong place, last try was functions.php at the very top right after the first <php.

Can you please help me!

oops, wrong place, this concerns the Jessica Fletcher Redux theme

The answer is on this page:

halleluyah I found it again, link below also copied the relevant replies for future relevance, tried it before, this really works!

If you want a plugin try https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/new-tag-cloud/ new tag cloud. I would also suggest hard coding it as shown above, but this is a small plugin and caches results for performance.

Thank’s, I have tested this plugin but it do not do what i have indicated above ??

If you want to fetch posts from a tag, use the query_post function.

query_posts(‘tag=mydesiredtag’);
