Text/shortcode over Featured Image in excerpts

  • Gin

    I want to have the excerpt (I use a short code in this example) OVER the featured image, at the BOTTOM. I do NOT want it on the right/left or below the image.

    The following gives me the look I want, with a little issue (cannot have background color), but is the styling correct?

    Most importantly, I use the “max-height: 1px;” to get rid of a margin under the thumbnail (when the shortcode is over it), this margin is added by the shortcode item, I tried “margin: 0;” but it did not help, so I came up a with “max-height: 1px;” which seem to do the trick, but the downside is the I cannot use a “background-color:” with it.

    What is the best way to achieve this? Did I miss anything, should I change something?

    Post thumbnail css:

    border: 0;
padding: 0;
background: none;
margin: 1px 3px 0 0;

    Excerpt:
    <div id="test">[shortcode]</div>

    CSS:

    div#player_y {
	position: relative;
	width: 127px;
	max-height: 1px;
	bottom: 25px;

    I am working locally.

    Why do you need an example to understand a code as simple as that?
    It’s self explanatory.

    The code works and does what it’s supposed to do, I just need inputs/ideas from experts.

    try it.
    put this code within loop

    <div class="post">
  <div class="post-excerpt"><?php the_excerpt();?></div>
  <div class="post-thumb">
    <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : the_post_thumbnail(); endif; ?>
  </div>
</div>

    css

    .post{
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
padding: 10px 0;
}
.post-excerpt{
display: block;
text-align: justify;
}
.post-thumb{
display: block;
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
padding: 4px;
background: #f1f1f1;
margin:10px 0;
}

    @timdesain, thanks you, it’s a good idea, but it’s not giving me what I want.

    I only want the excerpts and thumbnails in the front page though. Your code added bits to the posts.

    ??

    put the code in index.php or loop-index.php

    you can create other code for your post cat

    I did put your code in the index.php. but it’s not working, I am using a modified index file already.

    What I need is simpler really, I don’t to alter the index again or play with php for this.
    Just need the styling optimised/amended for the above code.

    would you like to copy your index to https://wordpress.pastebin.com?
    then post the url here.

    The index will not help, i don’t want to involve php.
    Just want to use CSS. As I said, I have the desired effect with CSS, but I would like to know if the above code makes sense, or is there anything obvious that should be amended.

    ok.

    before we make css, we need to know the html structure.
    so, copy the page source (browser output, not php) of index to https://wordpress.pastebin.com
