FYI, if you add display:none to the title using title_class, keep in mind that that element simply disappears. An alternative is to use the visibility property to hide it but retain it, like so:
visibility: hidden;

I found I needed to retain but hide it when my category excerpts with thumbnails weren’t aligning properly; when the excerpt was short, the thumbnails disturbed the next entry. By keeping the title element but hiding it, it forces a line break to ensure that the next entry isn’t disturbed. (A little like in a post when the next header forces a new line below an image, instead of a wrap around it.)

Yep @mattyrob – that last fix took care of it on my weekly digests.

I too wanted my image thumbnail right-aligned in the post text, below the title. I did it by wrapping the title generation in paragraph tags and locating the thumbnail call to the excerpt line, using paragraph tags again to inline-style the image.

I hope this helps someone struggling to style thumbnails which out of the box are not styled.

<?php
				if (
					function_exists('the_post_thumbnail') &&
					current_theme_supports("post-thumbnails") &&
					$instance["thumb"] &&
					has_post_thumbnail()
				) :
			?>
				<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"></p>
				</a>
			<?php endif; ?>
// inserts date
			<?php if ( $instance['date'] ) : ?>
			<p class="post-date"><?php the_time("j M Y"); ?></p>
			<?php endif; ?>
// Inserts thumbnail after title in post text aligned right with flow
			<?php if ( $instance['excerpt'] ) : ?>
<p style="float:right"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'cat_post_thumb_size'.$this->id ); ?>
			<?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
			<?php endif; ?>

I am a little unsure about where this should happen:
At the bottom before the footer is called, insert the code:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
I have done a quick scan of the four files and can’t see where it should go.

At the very bottom of single.php you’ll see the footer call. When you insert that sidebar call it will look like this:

</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hope that helps….

This is a nice fix for when we set the start date but forget to set the end date – putting the end before start of the event. In case of all-day events, the end date is simply reset to the start date. For one-day timed events, the fix will simply set the end to start date keeping the set times. For timed events spread over days, the fix will just show the start day/time of the event.

The code when inserted into list.php looks like this:

<table>
		                  <tr>
		                    <td class="tec-event-meta-desc"><?php _e('Start:', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></td>
		                    <td class="tec-event-meta-value"><?php echo the_event_start_date(); ?></td>
		                  </tr>
<?php if(the_event_start_date() !== the_event_end_date()): ?> // added to reset erroneous end date if earlier than start
		                  <tr>
		                    <td class="tec-event-meta-desc"><?php _e('End:', $spEvents->pluginDomain) ?></td>
		                    <td class="tec-event-meta-value"><?php echo the_event_end_date(); ?></td>
		                  </tr>
		                  <?php
<?php endif; ?>
		                    $venue = the_event_venue();
		                    if ( !empty( $venue ) ) :
		                  ?>

Didn’t work for me. The date reproduced four times, as experienced by a poster on that page.

Tnanks @alchymyth. I saw that tip when reading about the <more> tag, and tried to implement it myself…but wasn’t clear enough how to insert the example code in the actual statement in content.php. Not knowing php I tripped myself up.

So I inserted this code but still see the default ‘Continue reading’ behavior. No post titles. Can I append the code? I checked that the content.php is in the child theme.

Thanks in advance if you have the opportunity.

On an unrelated quick question, in Twenty Eleven, I’ve applied a background color to post titles (<class “entry-title”> which looks great, but wanted to have a rollover highlight (brighter color). Naturally I though I could style .entry-title a:hover with a background color but of course it ends with the link text – not the whole bar as I’d hoped. I want the whole <entry-title> element to have hover behavior. No go, eh?

OK – enough!
