Not retrieving thumbnails

Hi there,

In order to show post thumbnails you have to turn that option on in the customizer under the content section

Post thumbnails are not displayed at something like 150×150. You can see how they are displayed on the demo site.

When you upload the feature image it will display the featured image even if you crop it. You have to crop it, then choose the cropped image.

And at the moment, excerpts are not supported in archive or tag pages. I can show you what to do when I get home.

I’m not at home right now so I don’t have access to the theme files.

Hope this helps.

Okay, thanks for the help. I should’ve just checked the thumbnail code in the functions and found the size parameters, my bad. xD It really is magical for a beginner like me to realize how much sense this stuff actually makes. I ended up changing the size and having it auto crop it because I use a lot of large pictures. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

And also thanks in advance for the excerpt help.

Sorry for the delay in responding back to you, got busy with a few other things and got side tracked.

I will show you the changes that you need to make regarding showing post excerpts on archive, search and tag pages (I am adding this as well to the next version of WP-Forge 5.5.2.6). You need to open up content.php

the first line you need to look for is 37. It looks like this:

<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'wpforge_single_thumb_display' ) == 'yes' ) : // Show thumbnail in single post view if theme customizer option is set to yes ?>

change it to this:

<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'wpforge_single_thumb_display','yes' ) == 'yes' ) : // Show thumbnail in single post view if theme customizer option is set to yes ?>

next look for 41. it looks like this:

<?php if ( is_home() && get_theme_mod( 'wpforge_thumb_display' ) == 'yes' ) : // Display thumbnail on home page if theme customizer option is set to yes ?>

change it to this:

<?php if ( is_home() && get_theme_mod( 'wpforge_thumb_display','yes' ) == 'yes' ) : // Display thumbnail on home page if theme customizer option is set to yes ?>

now for the excerpt on archive, tag and search pages look for line 45. it looks like this:

<?php if ( is_home() && get_theme_mod( 'wpforge_post_display' ) == 'excerpt' ) : // Display Excerpts if theme customizer option is set to excerpt ?>

change it to this:

<?php if (get_theme_mod( 'wpforge_post_display' ) == 'excerpt' ) : // Display Excerpts if theme customizer option is set to excerpt ?>

now you should have excerpts on the archive, tag ans search pages if you have it set to excerpts in the customizer.

Hope this helps and if still causes issue, please let me know.

As always, enjoy!

Works perfectly, thanks for all the help even though you must be busy!

Oh no worries, glad to help. I got busy with stuff around the house, you know how that goes…Lol

Sorry to bring this alive once again, but I noticed that when I have the excerpts enabled, it seems to also truncate the single post page as well, with the “continue reading” just leading to the same excerpt, making it impossible to see the entire thing.

Hi there again,

I think I made an error. The following:

<?php if (get_theme_mod( 'wpforge_post_display' ) == 'excerpt' ) : // Display Excerpts if theme customizer option is set to excerpt ?>

should actually be this:

<?php if (is_front_page() || is_archive() || is_search() || is_tag() && get_theme_mod( 'wpforge_post_display' ) == 'excerpt' ) : // Display Excerpts if theme customizer option is set to excerpt ?>

I believe this will do as it is expected. Sorry for the mistake.

uh oh that wont work at all…lol my apologies. I just got home a few minutes ago and its been a long day. I will have to look at this in the morning. Sorry for the delay.

No yeah, don’t worry about the time. I appreciate your efforts regardless.

Hey amigo, sorry for the delay, this apparently is trickier than I thought.

This is needs to be dealt with using conditional statements. So for every single one I have tried works to a certain degree, but then a problem happens.

I tried working on it this morning before work but hit another wall. I did think of a solution while I was driving so I am going to try it when I get home later.

Again, sorry for the delay. I’ll get it, don’t worry…Lol

OK i think I got it. Just copy and paste this into content.php:

 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage WP_Forge

I think this is it…I didn’t see anything wrong happening after I put this together.

Let me know how it goes.

Yes, it looks like it works great! Thanks for the continual help!

Awesome, glad it’s working and its my pleasure. Only when users such as yourself bring bugs like this to my attention can they be fixed, so a big thank you to you sir!
