https://www.jerodmayer.com is the site, I guess the glitch is not a glitch afterall as it seems fine now. I would however like to have 3 recent posts from a specific (new listings) cateogory show up on the front page with a thumbnail image (or something a little larger than a thumbnail), a small amount of text, and a link to more info.

Hi Esmi,

You did my site before, and I am having a glitch with the front page. Not sure what’s causing it. Do you mind looking to see why I have the newest post i wrote showing at the top of my page when it shouldn’t be there?

Just popped up this morning…

Does nobody have a remedy for this? Is it something wrong with twentyten 1.2 theme? Blog Category excerpts and blog archive excerpts don’t show a thumbnail. Now can I get them there?

OK I am really stumped… I have added the <?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumbnail’ ); ?> to my loop below in my TwentyTen Child Theme, however thumbnails only show on my blog page, and not in specific categories, or archived categories. Also, I want the thumbnail to show on the left side of the post so that there is a cleaner look. Can someone help me get this to work properly?

<?php /* How to display all other posts. */ ?>

<?php else : ?>
<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>
<h2 class=”entry-title”>” title=”<?php printf( esc_attr__( ‘Permalink to %s’, ‘twentyten’ ), the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ) ); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<div class=”entry-meta”>
<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-meta –>

<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
<div class=”entry-summary”>
<?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumbnail’ ); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-summary –>
<?php else : ?>
<div class=”entry-content”>
<?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumbnail’ ); ?>

<?php the_excerpt( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘twentyten’ ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”page-link”>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘twentyten’ ), ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) ); ?>
</div><!– .entry-content –>
<?php endif; ?>

Anything else that could be wrong? Should I show you any of my files for verification?

Aichymyth: I did try adding the “get_thumbnail” code here where you suggested as well, but for some odd reason I am not seeing my thumbnails appear. The featured posts on my front page are just the most recent 4 posts and this section of my blog just pulls images at random from a image folder on my server.

I was under the impression a random image would only be used if I didn’t choose a featured image fkr a Post. This is only codee for My front page lime this which is a Custom template. Do you think this is what is screwing up my olvide posts?

I am stumped, cuz once I add the thumbnail code the image should appear right? Hope you can help, you have been great this far.

I thought I clarified, sorry.

Yes I do see a “add featured image” when writing a post. I have selected a featured image and nothing shows next to the post. I also placed the <? get_post_thumbnail tag to the loop.php file right above “the content” line specified by alchymyth with no avail. In the twentyten loop file there are a couple of the “the_content” areas, and I tried placing the tag to call the thumbnail in both spots, again nothing.

When I say it didn’t work. I mean that no image shows up next to the posts. Categories are no go, archives, etc.

I am stuck, unless I am missing something… I hope this helps all who relied identify the issue I am having.

just for reference, my site is: https://www.jerodmayer.com

Still looking for a solution…. All I want to do is color the background of the Blog Title & TagLine on the twentyten child theme I am using (Just above the header picture) and make the header photo only show on the homepage, but keep the title and menu visible at all times. Thanks in advance!

Anyone, have a direction of help for me?

I have a child theme esmi, you set it up for me remember ?? I just want to make a customization to it. Hope you have been well!

I do have too many links to place in the nav menu only. However, I thought if I did the blog format for these, then I could eliminate the links, and just have the pages in blog format. However, since the information is specific to what buyers might want to know, I am not sure how effective the blog structure would be. Also, what do you think about my Testimonials page? That page has testimonials from past clients, and I update that page about every couple months. I was thinking of making this page a blog category… I also wanted to code my homepage, to pull a random blog post each time the page is loaded. Just looking for the most productive way to set this up. If you have any suggestions on layout, etc I would love some input.

What about for content I might update every few months? (testimonials from clients, new information for Buyers, etc.) right now for instance I have a Buyer page that has static information at the top, and links that link out to other interior pages of my site. The content on these pages don’t change much, but I would add more pages when new info is available. I am wondering rather than having links on my static page to other sub pages, if there is a better way to categorize.

If you want to see an example:

Thank you everyone for the help. I am basically wanting to improve Organic search engine results if nothing else.

Does anyone have any insight about this? Just wondering what would be the best method for my site. Hope to hear something.

@rvirtue: Had my host look through my site, I deactivated the Plugin, and uploaded the file with those changes highlighted above and all is well. Thank you very much for the help!
