you were the one who helped me create it! Nice to see you again! it’s https://www.daily-mash.com
I have not changed anything in my index.php or single.php in my child theme but I would be more than happy to post them if that helps! let me know…thank you!

Thanks for the help guys I got it all figured out!

well I am just trying to figure out what is causing that padding if I have already set it to zero…there must be something else controlling it.

so I put in padding: 0 0 0 0; and it didn’t seem to change anything. What is the css for removing the padding?

maybe there are defaults that the parent theme is imposing?

it’s all set at 0 – if you inspect the layout with firebug it’s showing zeros for everything all around. Do I have to use negative numbers for padding?

ok it looks a little better now that I put in the dimensions – now how do I get rid of the space between the buttons??

nevermind I figured it out – it was .main-navigation .home a

So I could go in and edit that line of php to look like this:
<?php if( is_single() ) { the_post_thumbnail(medium); } else { ?>“><?php the_post_thumbnail(medium); ?><?php } ?>

???

Could I ask you one more question? Is there a way to control the size of the featured image? for some reason it seems to want to show a full sized version and I would like it to display the “medium” picture size – any way I can specify that somewhere? Thanks for all of your help!

Awesome thank you so much!!! Apparently I need to learn php – I have been trying to read about it but seems to go over my head quickly.

YOU ARE THE MAN! thank you it worked!! So now one final question…can we make the image clickable also?? If not it’s ok but it would be nice if we could link the image to the gallery as well as the post title. Thanks again!

Awesome! It almost worked! It did everything I wanted it to except showing the featured image in the post. The post shows nothing but a post title – when you click on that it does what I want it to. Seems like maybe it just needs a minor change to work correctly – I have no idea what that change would be but… my url is https://www.daily-mash.com if you want to look at it. I really appreciate your help! Thanks!

well I went into the functions.php and added “gallery” under the post formats – this will allow me to choose gallery when I make a post but something is definitely wrong because the post doesn’t look right and it makes everything else on my page disappear. I did not adapt content-gallery.php to match the functions and html structure of twenty twelve – I am don’t know enough about coding to do that – is that something that would be fairly simple or not? I have no idea…thanks

Thanks for the tip but I don’t think I am good enough with PHP to dig through it and figure out how to implement it in the theme I am using – I am slowly learning – CSS is a breeze but I cannot seem to grasp php
