How to change the way posts are displayed.

  • So basically I’m just curious as to which file I can find how posts are displayed on the home page. Currently in my theme it looks just like a blog. Chronologically laid out 1 after another.

    How can I alter how these posts are displayed? Like say lay them out in a gallery or portfolio fashion.

    Does this generally occur within the loop in index.php or is it done with css? I’m really just trying to map my way around how things work in wordpress.

    Thanks!

    which file I can find how posts are displayed on the home page

    general index.php – which might lead to other templates such as content.php or loop.php (in Twenty Eleven and Twenty Ten, resp) – or could be home.php (see link posted by @premiumwp)

    lay them out in a gallery or portfolio fashion.

    on top of editing the css, this might need changes to the html structure and php functions of the template.

    please post a link to your site to illustrate what theme you are working with.

    Oh well I’m working with WAMP so I am using a local server right now. But yeah I feel a little foolish cause I’m using the ‘portfolio-press’ theme and managed to miss the message asking to install the ‘portfolio post type’ plugin. So I have managed to get the gallery style I was looking for.

    But I am still curious as to how it accomplishes that so I think I’m gonna look into that great link you posted and see if I cant find where the plugin is working its magic and how it does it.

    If your familiar with that particular theme and plugin and know where to start looking though that would be a great help.
