Go to Site Options, and in the Archives dropdown make sure you have either “Everything’s a teaser” or “Same as Homepage” selected.

I have been having the same problem from the start with thesis theme and i cant find any help on how to solve it. When i publish a post on the home page the thumbail works 100% but is doesn’t carry over into the category pages….Is there a simple option i am overseeing or is it another issue?? Any advice would be appreciated..

Thanks

Hey Bill,

I am trying to implement both of these features into one but am unable to get the image to display. Displaying the post titles and excerpts is working fine, but above the title I am getting an empty imc src call

Basically I would like to have the thesis_post_image output above the Post Title.

This is essentially how they show up on regular category pages using thesis and populating the thesis_post_image.

Do you think you could show me how to add that code?

All the function does is break

's into div's, which can then be styled with the custom.css file. So in your instance, I would do page-specific css that was applicable for your specific situation. So on the about page, do something like:

.custom.about #content-0 { }
.custom.about #content-1 { }
...

Beautiful bit of code. A question:

1) Assuming I wanted only 2 columns of text, how would this be rewritten to slot all text into 2 columns regardless of number of ? What I meant is, assuming I have 3 , I don’t want 3 columns but 2 columns. So I would want the 1st 2 h4′s in column 0 and the 3rd h4 in column 1. The logic would be: Test number of H4. If X>2, take 1 more than half the number of H4 and add to column 0. Add rest to column 1. Hence if 9 H4, 5 h4 to column 0 and 4 h4 to column 1.

Hi Bill,

That’s a great bit of code. As understand it , this code works for
A) Individual posts
B) Page

The reason is I’ve tried this out in a couple of posts to no avail. I’m in sandbox mode or I’d have dropped you a link. I’ve added the php to custom functions and the css to custom.css.

Anything I’m missing here?Thanx…
