Minor changes to the WordPress theme (showing excerpts on each page, thumbnails, etc.)

It’s been a while since I’ve tweaked my WordPress theme. This time, the changes are as follows.

1. トップページ、カテゴリページ、タグページを抜粋表示
2. 記事の中で使われている最初の画像を自動的に拾い出してサムネイルを表示
3. カテゴリーページ、タグページを投稿の古い順にソートして表示
4. 1ページあたりの最大投稿数を10に変更

各ページの抜粋表示およびサムネイル表示については、「Thumbnail for Excerpts」というプラグインをインストールして有効化した後、それぞれのページのテーマを次のように編集しました。

 <?php the_content(); ?>

The part that says

 <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
 <?php $values = get_post_custom_values(“image_thumb”);
 $imgSrc = $values[0]; ?>

Change to.

Then I changed the “Display Settings -> Maximum posts to display on one page” to 10.

The result is the screenshot at the top of this post. It’s important to show thumbnails in the post because it looks a little sad if you only show excerpts.

Then change the setting to “Display category and tag pages sorted by oldest post”. Edit the theme for this too.

 <?php $posts = query_posts( $query_string . '&order=asc' ); ?>

Before the
 <!--記事のループ-->
 <?php if(have_posts()): while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>

I just had to add the

Especially for category pages, considering the format of travelogue, I think it is better to arrange them in chronological order, that is, in order of the oldest post.

I think it’s a little easier to read than before. Hopefully this will increase the number of pages viewed per session a bit.

By the way, I’ve been using this theme since just about this time last year. I chose this theme because I wanted to make it easy to see from iPad, which was going to be released soon. That’s why the screen shots are from iPad.
