Yep. Still working on cleaning up the rest of the site…

Not recently. I removed some code form the wp-config.php file and that solved my admin interface issues.

I can definitely narrow it down to my theme. When I tested the site in Twenty Ten it was fine.

My site address is: https://colindunn.com/blog

Ah, genius! Thank you again esmi. You are a wordpress god.

Thank you!

Works beautifully! Next time I will have to read a little more carefully.

Thanks so much! I will try that.

Does anyone know if there is a plugin that offers this kind of functionality?

Right, but this will align all of my posts in the same way. I want the flexibility to align some thumbnails on the left side on some on the right.

When inserting an image into your post (rather than a thumbnail) depending on which alignment option you choose (left, center, right) wordpress assigns a different class to that image (alignleft, aligncenter, alignright). I am looking for that same functionality for my thumbnails.

Did some more resarch, found this page. https://wpengineer.com/the-ultimative-guide-for-the_post_thumbnail-in-wordpress-2-9/. I am trying to make sense of it and see if its possible to accomplish what I am trying to do with this code.

Aha! Found a plugin for anyone who is interested. “WP No Category Base” does the trick!

Alas, your suggestion didn’t work. When I used post-id/postname it breaks the category links. I can no longer access my portfolio category posts by visiting https://www.colindunn.com/portfolio ….. So frustrating!

Thanks esmi (I seem to see a lot of you). This seems like a slightly better option then I have now yet I know what I am seeking is possible (I have seen it on other blogs). You seem to know quite a bit about wordpress. Any recommended reading for the someone like me, who has a basic understanding but needs to fill in the holes?

Just to clarify, for images inserted into the post they get a special class (alignleft, aligncenter, alignright). I was hoping there was a way to enable that functionality for thumbnail images.

Thanks for your help esmi. Right now I am using the the_post_thumbnail to get the thumbnail and the_content to get the content. Is this not the best way to do it? I am able to position them in any order I want this way.

And if I added

.attachment-post-thumbnail {float:right}

That would float ALL of my thumbnail images to the right. I wanted to have the option of floating some to the left and some to the right. My hope was that it would assign a different class to the thumbnail depending on which alignment I chose, which would allow me to float the thumbnail to the left or right with css.
