Thumbnails push text into right column

[aoassist 0]

My site is: http://dev.argotandochre.com/ . I wanted a big thumbnail with the title and byline above it and the excerpt below it. I was able to resize the thumbnail but the text is now being pushed into the right column. How do I fix the alignment of the text?

Hi Lainya! You need more that align the text, you need to edit the template to have the elements in that order. Copy template.postloop.php from platformpro folder to platformbase and edit it first. It will be easier then to fix the rest. Ricardo

Thank you

Do you still need more assistance or did Ricardo's solution work out for you?

After looking at the file, I definitely need more assistance. Thanks!

1. You'll need to move this block of code: ` <?php if(pagelines_show_thumb( get_the_ID() )): // Thumbnails ?>

<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');?>

<?php endif; ?> ` immediately below these lines: ` <?php ? ? pagelines_get_post_title(); ? ? pagelines_get_post_metabar(); ?> ` 2. and then change this: ` if(pagelines_show_thumb($post->ID)){ ? ? echo 'margin-left:'.$thumb_space.'px'; } ` to ` if(pagelines_show_thumb($post->ID)){ echo 'margin-left:0'; } `

Thank You, Tim. While that fixed the alignment of the text, my thumbnails are now gone. The alignment is perfect, but how to I get my thumbnails to appear?

You may have accidentally removed the post thumb code bc I don't see the div that holds it in your markup on the page.

So what do I add and where?

[catrina 103]

Did you remove any code while you were adding Tim's code?

[aoassist 0]

No, I did exactly what Tim's instructions were. I moved the big block of code where he said to move it and then replaced: if(pagelines_show_thumb($post->ID)){ echo 'margin-left:'.$thumb_space.'px'; } with: if(pagelines_show_thumb($post->ID)){ echo 'margin-left:0'; } The only code I removed was the code I replaced as per Tim's instructions.

[catrina 103]

What about elsewhere in the code? Was there a DIV code that you removed (it might've contained where the thumbs are located)?

[aoassist 0]

No, I didn't touch the rest of the code.

[catrina 103]

If you undo the code that Tim suggested and replaced it with what was there before, do the thumbnails appear again?

[aoassist 0]

Yes, it does. It reverts back to the thumbnails showing and the text being pushed off to the right.

[catrina 103]

But this code: `

<?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');?>

` ...is definitely still there? This is the block of DIV code that displays the thumbnail.

Yes, it was still there, but I started from scratch and now it's working. I took the original file from the downloaded template and redid Tim's instructions. I'm not sure what I did wrong to begin with but it works now. Thanks so much!
