Website Search Results, Archives - Need Thumbnails by Excerpts.. HELP!

CMS & WordPress
1

Title says it all… I’ve got a new site that I’m working on:

(a search result page too)
http://motherapists.com/?s=jon

How do I get thumbnails floating left of the post excerpts? There’s one picture in each post. If I set a “featured image” it just floats atop, center… Looks like crap.

How do I get my search results and archive results to show thumbnails with the excerpts, images float=left?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I’m stuck :nono:

Question in hand: How to get a thumbnail/picture with search results. Here’s the code in search.php

<div class="eleven columns">
		<?php
		if (have_posts()) :
			while (have_posts()) : the_post();
				get_template_part('loop', get_post_format());
			endwhile;  else :
			    get_template_part('loop', 'none');
		endif;
		?>
</div>

I don’t know why I’m posting this from function.php – as the excerpt code doesn’t even work… Unless It’s not being called in the above search.php?!

function typo_excerpt_length($length) {
	if (has_post_format('status')) {
	return 140;
	} else {
	return 60;
	}
}

Love this forum… Thank you for all the help!

EXAMPLES

This is what the search result Excerpt looks like:

If I add a FEATURED IMAGE I get a post excerpt WITH a left floating thumbnail… But also for some reason a duplicate image centered not aligned… I want the thumbnail left of the Excerpt ONLY! And it’s gold!

Thanks!

Can you post your loop template? My guess is the indicator is there.

loop.php

<article <?php post_class('post') ?>>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr(sprintf(__('Permanent Link to %s', 'typo-o-graphy'), the_title_attribute('echo=0'))); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

</header>
<div class="post-content">
	<?php
	if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
		the_post_thumbnail('typo_single_post');
	}
	?>
	           <?php
                        if (!empty($post -> post_excerpt))
                        echo '<strong class="post_excerpt">'.get_the_excerpt().'</strong>';
                        ?>
	<?php the_content(__('Continue reading &rarr;', 'typo-o-graphy')); ?>
	<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __('<span>Pages:</span>', 'typo-o-graphy'), 'after' => '</div>')); ?>
</div>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</article>

functions.php

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 620, 220, true );
add_image_size('typo_single_post', 620, 290, true);
set_post_thumbnail_size( 9999, 390, true );
add_image_size('typo', 2000, 390, true);
add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'gallery','image','link','video', 'quote','status','audio','chat' ) );
add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );

Nevermind I was able to figure this one out… The theme/framework that I’m working with basically needs to be gutted b/c its code is garbage. Took out a couple lines (and stopped calling junk code in the functions.php); made some additions to functions.php and called the new code and Voila!

You can’t fix broken… Just replace it… I’ll be back for some more help later without a doubt.

Thanks for taking a look @cpradio
