Alright, so I added:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

And it doesn’t seem to work. That should add the UI for it when I edit a post… correct? I just added it to the end of my functions.php.

Also, just letting you know that the styling worked, and I’ll work on it more once I can figure out the thumbnails. That seems to be the last part. Thank you again for your time and patience.

EDIT: So like I said, I only added the one line of code. In my mind a new UI box should come up for posting a thumbnail. Do I just use the featured image thing?

Alright, I inserted the code directly at the bottom of functions.php. I’m not sure how I set the thumbnail for each post. Do I just set a featured image? And in which file should I play around with the font size?

EDIT: Yeah, I don’t think the code I inserted worked. A little clarification on where that goes please?

And I guess, once you tell me where to change the font… that should be it! So close!!! Thanks!

!!! alright. It looks like I got a nice border and a fixed height.

I would like to copy right off of yours though. As in (image in background) 100 x 100. And I would like the title to appear in smaller text in a box on top of (overlaying) the image. Basically…

How do I get from this to this?

oh my gosh! It worked! It worked! Ugh. So happy right now. If you could stick it through to just help me with the rest it would be beyond appreciation from me. Thank you.

SO next, height…?

Oh! Alright, so the page template code goes into index.php.

Alright, I did that now, but I just get a list…

I feel as though the loop-grid.php isn’t working. Do I have to add any special functions or anything?

Is there anyway to test that loop-grid.php is working?

EDIT: I removed the code for “Leave a comment” in “loop-grid.php” and it updated. Any other ideas?

EdIT 2: Yeah, loop-grid.php definitely works. But something has to be stopping it from working. I removed all of my personal code for the website, just to make sure it wasn’t interfering but, it didn’t work either. Something in loop-grid.php must not be working. What do you think?

At the end of all of this I think I owe ya a few beers… what’s the price of one of those?

Well, to be totally honest. I made a website. And I “integrated” it into wordpress later on. Basically, I changed the header.php index.php and footer.php files to match my website. That was a while ago. I didn’t touch the theme at all after that.
Now that I want this grid layout I took the code for loop-grid.php and I created my own loop-grid.php file and added it successfully.

Next, I took the code for “page template” and totally copied over Page template (page.php)

Finally, I took the code from css style and added it to the very top of my style sheet (style.css)

Now, it still gives me my posts going straight down… so it’s not working. I’m doing this for a small flash game site/project. Hence every post is a “game”.

So all I have to do is follow the steps after “addendum”?
“addendum:
this method can be implemented into the Twenty Ten theme, using the new ‘get_template_part()’ function to use custom loops.
for the code see:
loop-grid.php;
page template;
css styles.”
Or do I have to do anything above “addendum” aswell?

I have absolutely no code for this. I’m just using a default twentyten theme.

When you click that link, I want to do exactly what he has. A predefined size grid where my posts fall into. Does that help at all?

EDIT: I see it’s your website. Hahaha. Nice to meet you. But yes, I would like to recreate what you have going on when you click Here exactly as you have it.

You have 3? articles about it and I don’t know which one to use. Also, whenever I try to use any of your tutorials, you don’t say where exactly to put what code so as a very very very new person to wordpress I get confused. Like I said before, any help is greatly appreciated.

sorry started a new topic. This one just seems too confusing at this point.

Actually this is what I want to do. But, I can’t seem to figure it out.
Any user friendly explanation?

I edited the loop-single.php file. Hooray! it works!

I’m really anal about not giving out my site until it’s completed so is there anyway I could private message you? If not then email me at [email protected] and I’ll let you know. Thanks

I added this

.post{
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}

To my style.css and didn’t get anything
and then I added this

.hentry {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}

and I got no result… tips?

Alright, but where would that be located?
twenty ten theme of course

Actually, I’ve decided that I just want a simple break in between the posts. Is that possible? Switching colors with the colors I have going around on the site would be ridiculous.
