Hi everyone.

Great wp theme!
I am trying to create slides that have sidebar over image with recent “featured” posts.
I am struggling to understand how to display small thumbnail instead of full-size post image.

Currently I have this code
```
<article>
    <div class="promotional-featured-article">
        <a href="[post-url]"><img src="[image-url]" /></a>
        <div class="copy-container">
            <h4><a href="[post-url]">[title]</a></h4>
            <p>[content]</p>
            [date-published]
        </div>
    </div>
</article>
```
I have also tried to use [thumbnail] – which is generating link as well but it is the same as [image-url]

Is it possible to achieve that?
Could you advice me please

Hey db-studios!

I’m not really sure what your doing there. Can you send us a link and take a screenshot highlighting what is going on so we can get a better idea? You can set your reply as private if you wish.

Cheers!

Hey Elliott,

Sure, I am trying to achieve this design:

On image – I want to display featured(category) news. They should have small thumbnail.
At the moment I only managed to display full post image.

If you will have a look at site you will see that it displays full-size image.
here on http://skincareninja.com/

I am wondering if [thumbnail] is giving a link for a file (for some reason the same as [url-link] full-size image – Maybe it is forced to give as there is no thumbnail image generated?

Hey!

So those shortcodes you are using are from a plugin? Have you considered using our blog shortcode? We can give you some CSS to make it look similar to that.

Regards,
Elliott

Hi,

Yes those shortcodes are in LayerSlider wp.
Blog shortcode from theme?
I did not thought that it will work in LayerSlider…
Will it display recent 3 posts from featured category?

update – just entered shortcode – and it did work.
Thanks – now I will style it.
