    Hello,

    I need to set the length of an excerpt of a post (how much you can read before having to click into the post to read the rest). Right now it is showing the whole post for my most recent blog post, I would like to shorten this. I am also having an issue with the way the thumbnail displays. It looks great in the post, but outside of it.. it is kind of off center and cropped. I can’t seem to find where to make adjustments to these things in the dashboard.

    Here is a link to the page:
    https://www.wholeaf.com/sample-page/

    (this url brings another question up, where do I change the page title label? I would like to have something other than “sample-page” in there, like “wholeaf blog”.)

    This is the only posting I have made so far. I want to format it to my liking… HELP!!

  • Try 

    if(!empty($inis)): ?>
<div class="lastimage pik" style="background: url(<?php echo $inis; ?>) center top no-repeat;border: 1px solid #777;">
</div>

    or do you think it is the “center top” code that needs to change, maybe just change it to center?

    okay, I will try to swap that code out and see what happens.

    okay, so I swapped that code out for yours, and now there is no thumbnail image.

    OK – try:

    if(!empty($inis)): ?>
<div class="lastimage pik" style="background: url(<?php echo $inis; ?>) center top no-repeat; min-width: 100px; min-height:100px; border: 1px solid #777;">
</div>

    aha!! I put the code back that you just had me swapped out and removed “top” from after “center” and it’s perfect!! Thanks for helping set me in the right direction, I just needed to know where to look, this is a lot different from developing in dreamweaver.

    Do you know how legit it is to move everything to dreamweaver in case I wanted to really customize a theme to my own liking?

    cool, I just tried your new code for fun even though I found my solution. That would be a nice look if I decide to go with smaller thumbnails, but for I like the larger size. Thanks man!!!

    I’ve never used Dreamweaver myself but I know some people do use it to work on their WP sites. You should be fine as long as you remember that you are editing templates – not complete pages.
