Great, thanks!

Thanks it worked a treat, is there anyway to remove a certain category from the listing but keep it selected still? I’m using the ‘Uncategorized’ category to displays my posts on another page but equally I don’t want the category being displayed. Hope this makes sense? Cheers

Ah, found a solution:

<?php
$category = get_the_category();
if ($category) {
  echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category[0]->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category[0]->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category[0]->name.'</a> ';
}
?>

Thanks for your help

The code works great, however, I would like a more automated process, so that the category changes with whatever I change it to on the post page.

Actually, change of plan, do you know how to find the link of a category page (couldn’t seem to find it anywhere)?

I’m gathering it would look something like sitename.com/category=gaming (with name at the end?)

This way I can then add the url slug of the category to the end of the link url when inputted in.

Hope this makes sense, haha, cheers!

Awesome thanks!

Cheers, will give it a go

Yep, works perfectly. Thanks for all your help, much appreciated!

Thanks, I will give it a go!

The author_comment_count(); is defined in the functions file:

// Displays no. comments

function author_comment_count(){
	$oneText = '1';
	$moreText = '%';
 	global $wpdb;
	$result = $wpdb->get_var('
		SELECT
			COUNT(comment_ID)
		FROM
			'.$wpdb->comments.'
		WHERE
			comment_author_email = "'.get_comment_author_email().'"'
	);
	if($result == 1):
		echo str_replace('%', $result, $oneText);
	elseif($result > 1):
		echo str_replace('%', $result, $moreText);
	endif;
}

I’m not sure if the function is already returning the value, but if not, how can I get it to do so?

Thanks!

Just browsed the web and found a similar piece of code. In short, I’ve mixed the two pieces of code together and to anyone who would like to know, here is the solution:
Place wherever:

<?php
query_posts('showposts=3'); // recent 3 posts
while(have_posts()) :
the_post();?>
<div class="my-post">
<img src="<?php get_post_thumbnail(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="front-list_thumbnail" width="32" height="32"/><?
echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a>';
?></div>
<?php endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
?>

Place in functions.php:

function get_post_thumbnail() {
$files = get_children('post_parent='.get_the_ID().'&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image');
if($files) :
$keys = array_reverse(array_keys($files));
$j=0;
$num = $keys[$j];
$image=wp_get_attachment_image($num, 'large', false);
$imagepieces = explode('"', $image);
$imagepath = $imagepieces[1];
$thumb=wp_get_attachment_thumb_url($num);
print $thumb;
else:
print "https://www.chrs.biz/theme1/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/wordpress.png";  /* link for default image */
endif;
}

Thanks for all your help esmi ?? Hope this piece of code can help someone, enjoy!

Nope, no luck still

Ok, thanks for all your help! ?? https://wordpress.pastebin.com/vzjkhRRH

When entering the above code the syntax breaks and displays an error? It states: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/iappleg1/public_html/chrs.biz/theme1/wp-content/themes/twentyten/sidebar.php on line 26 Thanks

Nope, so I instead changed the link to: <img src="https://chrs.biz/theme1/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/wordpress.png" width="32px" height="32px" alt="" /> Not too sure why it’s not working, guess I really need to learn php!

I’ve now eliminated the error however the picture doesn’t show as default next to the post name :/
