Hello i have managed to (with the help of this forum) to summarize my posts in the index with the featured picture as a thumbnail, how can i now do the same for the category's as the category pages still want to show the whole article?

thank you

doesnt matter iv figured it out i changed the code to this

<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() || is_front_page() || is_home() ) : // Only display Excerpts for Search (and home page) ?>

#category #posts #summarize

Hi Legoog8, are you looking to do something like this? http://clickbump.com/featured/

it will depend on your theme and you will most likely need to edit the code in archive.php

Which theme are you using?

  "Twenty Ten" shows the summary like you are asking for, however "Twenty Eleven", which you are using, changed the archive.php page so that it shows the whole post content for each article in the category.
  
  Anyway, it sounds like you've got it worked out now. Best of luck to you!
  
  Thanks

  You can do it with Custom css using fixed width and floats. If you will send the URL to your site (or PM it to me if you wish), I can send you a bit of custom css that will do it.
  
  The basic idea, assuming your posts and wrapped inside <article> elements (as I believe Twenty Eleven does), you would use this Custom CSS:
  
  Code:
  
  .archive article{ width:45%; float:left; margin-right:20px }
  
  Thanks

  Add the CSS below to your theme's css stylesheet. You can find it at "Appearance > editor" along the right hand sidebar listing of files.
  
  Code:
  
  .home.blog article{ width:48%; float:left; -moz-box-sizing:border-box; -webkit-box-sizing:border-box; box-sizing:border-box; } .home.blog article:nth-child(even){ margin-right:10px !important; clear:left; }

Yes, the height is determined by the contents.
