thanks govpatel.

I also want to make the portfolio accessible only with password. is it possible to do this using the method described at that link?

thanks, alchymyth

the only file in twentyeleven-child was ‘style.css’, so i copied content.php from twentyeleven, added that line of code and uploaded the content.php with the additional line of code to twentyeleven-child

i tried adding the new line of code right after <?php the_excerpt(); ?> and that didnt work, so i tried adding it right before — still no thumbnails appearing.

do i also need to delete content.php from twentyeleven?

or am i putting the code in the wrong place?

here’s what the code around that area in the file now looks like:

</header><!– .entry-header –>

<?php if ( is_search() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search ?>
<div class=”entry-summary”>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-summary –>
<?php else : ?>
<div class=”entry-content”>
<?php the_content( __( ‘Continue reading <span class=”meta-nav”>→</span>’, ‘twentyeleven’ ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( ‘before’ => ‘<div class=”page-link”><span>’ . __( ‘Pages:’, ‘twentyeleven’ ) . ‘</span>’, ‘after’ => ‘</div>’ ) ); ?>
</div><!– .entry-content –>

I’ve also tried installing the plugin ‘Thumbnail for Excerpts’ and thumbnails still don’t show

Any advice on this?

Here’s what I did, and the thumbnails are still not showing:

I added an image to use as a thumbnail, using the Media Library.

I added a ‘Featured Image’ in ‘Edit Post’, and in Edit Post, an image is showing there, so that looks like it should be working.

I added the url of the thumbnail in ‘Custom Fields’ in Edit Post.

But on the blog page, there’s no thumbnail showing: https://richardclunan.com/blog/ — the second post down ‘Whodunnit…’ is the post I added a thumbnail for.

(I don’t know if the following is relevant, but I have a childtheme of twentyeleven. If I switch back to the twentyeleven theme, the Blog page disappears from the menu on the site, but I can still navigate to https://richardclunan.com/blog/ and still no thumbnail appears on that post.)

thanks, peredur

Resolved.

found the Insert More Tag.

thanks deepbevel, for those ideas.

the theme i’m using is twentyeleven, with some changes made to it with a child theme file.

In my theme folder i don’t have any file with the word ‘loop’ in it.

in my ‘screen options’ there’s no item to enable excerpts.

in my single.php file, there’s no text “the_content”

but maybe that doesn’t matter? do i just add in the line of code you mentioned anyway?

does it matter where in the file i add the code?

thanks.

(the other problem is resolved — i used subpages to sort that.)

thanks wordpressismypuppet,

do you, or someone, have a second…

In the theme folder in category.php and index.php I searched for “the_content” aiming to replace it with “the_excerpt”

But I couldn’t find “the_content”

At that link you gave, it looks like I need to add this code:

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

And there’s a few files mentioned in that article.

I’m not sure what file I should be changing the code in.

What’s the relevant file?

And if I don’t find “the_content”, should I just add in the code: <?php the_excerpt(); ?> ?

And whereabouts in the code would I add that line of code?

Thanks,

kmessinger,

My Permalinks Settings page looks like this: https://skitch.com/richardclunan/ght1b/permalink-settings-richard-clunan-direct-response-fundraising-copywriter-wordpress

I don’t know if that’s right…?

‘Blog’ is a page on my site and it’s set as the ‘Posts page’.

So when I post a blog post, it automatically appears at https://richardclunan.com/blog

I arranged it like this just because it makes sense as the url for the blog.

I have other static pages too.

But I want each post to appear like this: https://richardclunan.com/blog/title-of-post — I can’t figure out how to do that.

thanks, that works

Thanks, alchymyth

I don’t see that line of code — which file is it in?

I looked in style.css and in index.php

…it wasn’t in either of those files.

Thanks, zeaks.
