WP Page layout/design for Search/Category...

Hello,
Are there any options to change the image size or location (above text) for the search or category pages?

Here is the sample which has the smaller thumbnail to the left of the text.

Thanks

Re: WP Page layout/design for Search/Category...

have you tried changing the thumbnail size in Settings > Media ?
(you'll need to regenerate the thumbnails. There are WordPress plugins that will do that for you so you won't have to upload the images again.)

As far as position, If you just wanted to move the thumbnail above the excerpt text (not the title) try removing the float with custom css.

If you want it above the title that's probably more complicated and you'll first need to know how to create a child theme. Then you may need to copy loop.php, and in a text editor modify the appropriate portion dealing with thumbnails of featured images, and place the modified loop.php in the child theme's folder.
It appears the area needing modified starts with

<?php // has post_thumbnail and post_thumbnail is displayed:

Modifying the loop isn't something I feel capable of yet or I might try to guide you through it. Perhaps someone with more WordPress development knowledge will pop in.
(creating the child theme is very easy, you can just Google that. The rest might just involve moving sections of code)

Ok perfect thank you, I am ok below the title, so I will play with the float and thumbnail size.

I have asked so many times about changing/updating the css and each time you point me to an option in LR I was not aware of, so just wanted to check before I made these type of changes.

thanks again
Brad

As far as I can see, changing the float on the thumbnail will be a job for custom css
