align thumbnail on left of excerpt

On the Template field –

[posts]
<div style="float:left">
  [post_thumbnail]
</div>
<div style="overflow:hidden">
  <h3>[title]</h3>
  <p>[post_excerpt]</p>
</div>
[/posts]

Thanks.

That was fast.
Strange, now I only get a full size image. Nothing else…
Am I misunderstanding this, shall I leave any other shortcodes in there?

You can assign a size on the [post_thumbnail].

[post_thumbnail size="thumbnail"]
[post_thumbnail size="post-thumbnails"]
[post_thumbnail size="medium"]

Also width / height

[post_thumbnail width="200"]
[post_thumbnail width="150" height="150"]

That works for the thumbnail size and ligning of the excerpt. Now I have one other problem. Now the excerpt shows in it’s original style, header size and with the image from the post.
It did not show before, how can I leave that out?
And now I lost the shortcode for the limited excerpt.

Thanks so much, I do appreciate your help.

Can you send me a link ?

For limited word excerpt, use [post_excerpt wordlimit=10].

Couldn’t understand other problems you described.

did I screw up the shortcodes that the post’s are stacking like that now?
Thanks

it works! Great!
Thank you for your support as well as the great plugin! I will rate your plugin.

Thanks.

I forgot the link for the images –

<a class="alignleft" href="[post_permalink]">[post_thumbnail size="thumbnail"]</a>

Mhm? It seems to be working like before. Is it pulling the image from the post, not the featured image? I would have to check.

It should definitely be using the featured image. And the earlier code should make the images clickable.
