It shows exactly what you need, the thumbnail is the featured image connected to the post. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/create-latest-news-column-as-featured-in-the-demo#post-26088 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 05:25:38 +0000 JulieS 26088@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello, </p> <p>Please can you help me figure out the code I need to create the Latest News column as featured in the demo? </p> <p>From the demo, I see that a post has a featured image, from which a thumbnail is created with the title and an excerpt from the post. I got as far as creating the title and excerpt (see below) which is included in the footer column widget, but got stuck with the resizing of the image. Please can you help?!</p> <p>Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you!</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php query_posts(&#39;category_name=news-and-updates&amp;showposts=5&#39;); ?&gt; &lt;?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&quot;&gt; &lt;?php the_title(&#39;&lt;h4&gt;&#39;, &#39;&lt;/h4&gt;&#39;); ?&gt; &lt;?php the_content(&quot;Continue reading &quot; . the_title(&#39;&#39;, &#39;&#39;, false)); ?&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;?php endwhile; ?&gt;</code></pre>
