Basically I want all the text to be to the right of the thumbnail and not have the title and meta before/above the thumbnail as seems to be the default.</p> <p>I don't think I can do this through CSS as the thumbnail is placed inside a div with the excerpt by default. I understand that I'll need to write a function that creates the post with the elements in the order I want, but I'm confused as to which filter I need to be looking at.<br /> Should I be filtering thematic_content() or a different one? Am I even going about this the correct way?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/category-archive-showing-wrong-posts#post-24302 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 12:47:39 +0000 Sabra 24302@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I have a child theme based on Thematic and just noticed that my category archive is showing the wrong posts, not the posts that are in the category.

It looks like your first post is within your content div, but your remaining posts are outside, according to Firebug. Usually means you have an extra closing div in there somewhere. Check your code and make sure you're div's match up properly. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/sidebar-issue#post-22292 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:48:47 +0000 violetabella 22292@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi everyone- I'm working on a theme, and it was working fine on my test server.
