Displaying all post titles matching with a specific category or tag

  • I have many categories and tags in my blog. Existing archive.php displays the entire posts when clicked on a category or tag.
    I’m requesting code for displaying all post titles matching with a specific category or tag with thumbnails with excerpt as well as link to the individual post. This page will give an option to the visitor to select individual post from the list of posts.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I did some research on several posts and came up with this code which i’m using in the archive.php. However, I’m unable to get thumbnails for individual post next to the Title or Excerpt. Any help with the code?

    Thanks.

    <?php
  $categories = get_the_category();
  if ($categories) {
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
      // echo "<pre>"; print_r($category); echo "</pre>";
      $cat = $category->cat_ID;
      $args=array(
        'orderby' => 'title',
  'order' => 'ASC',
'cat' => $cat,
        'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
        'posts_per_page'=>5,
        'caller_get_posts'=>1
      );
      $my_query = null;
      $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
      if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
        echo '<center><h4 class="widget-title">'. $category->name . '</h4></center><br /><ul>';
        while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
          <p><li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><b><?php the_title(); ?></b></a><br /> <?php the_excerpt(); ?></li></p>
         <?php
        endwhile;
      } //if ($my_query)
    } //foreach ($categories
  } //if ($categories)

?>

    Try changing:

    <p><li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><b><?php the_title(); ?></b></a><br /> <?php the_excerpt(); ?></li></p>

    to:

    <p><li><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><strong><?php the_title(); ?></strong></a><br /> <?php the_excerpt(); ?></li></p>
