Photo thumbnails for recipe page

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,
    I am interested in putting thumbnail size photos of my recipes on my recipe page with a link to the recipe. Right now I just have the title of the recipe that links to the recipe. I do not want the title anymore, just the photo itself. I can get the photo to the recipe page but I can’t figure out how to include the link. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    I can get the photo to the recipe page but I can’t figure out how to include the link.

    Links cannot be added with CSS only. CSS can change the appearance of things that are already on a page or it can add plain text using a property like “content”

    There are ways to do an image replacement on an existing text link. I like this method, for example: http://www.zeldman.com/2012/03/01/replacing-the-9999px-hack-new-image-replacement/

    If you still need help with a specific example, please reply and include a link to one of your posts and point out which text you want to replace with an image and I will take a closer look.

    Aside: this help request was marked as “resolved” before it had any replies. I wonder if you are changing that setting by mistake sometimes when you create new help requests? If you are changing that setting manually, you should make sure to set it to “not resolved” or it’s likely to get lost. If you aren’t changing the setting or aren’t sure what I’m talking about, then I’m not sure how some of your help requests are getting marked as resolved when they don’t have any replies yet, but if my memory serves correctly, that has happened to you more than once.

    Sorry, I marked that resolved myself because I did not want to waste anyones time because I figured it out and answered my own question. Thanks for replying. Mary Ann

    Oh! Haha. I was worried it’d been missed… :)
