to achieve that you need to understand the wordpress loop, and how to use the wordpress template tags and functions. just to help out,

when a wordpress site is initiated, certain loops run, one of the type is for the posts and also for custom post types.

just to be clear and help out, go to your loop.php, where the loop runs,

you should see

<?php if (have_posts()): while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?> // this is the loop. now next you use the template tags to structure the results of the loop/query.

to out just the titles of the posts alone linked to the single page for the post,

use the wordpress template tag, "the_title()" ,

and the link it up , so you have

<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
then end the loop,

<?php endwhile;
endif;
?>
that will give you the layout.


for the image thumbnail, its all css.

you can contact me to write the template for you .

so the code looks like this all together:


<?php if (have_posts()): while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
<?php endwhile; endif;?>

then you use css for the image thumbnail on the single.php file, also you will need use wordpress function called the_post_thumbnail();

on a single post page, to achieve what is up there,

write in your single.php file,

<?php get_template_part('loop');?>
<?php the post_thumbnail();?>


thats all, if you don't understand, contact me below:

thanks for the replies i have done the no1. section and also the no2. but the thumbnails ain't big the way i customized it
