Customizing Results

Here is the Codex for the_post_thumbnail:

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_post_thumbnail/

You need to change "small" to "medium"

In the standard results.php, see lines 56-62 (yours may now be different):

<?php 
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
  echo '<p>';
  the_post_thumbnail("small");
  echo '</p>';
}
?>

They need the link adding (with an alt to show the caption as a title), like this:

<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
  <a alt="<?php esc_html(get_the_post_thumbnail_caption());?>" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail("medium");?></a>
<?php	} ?>

I *think* that is right. I do not think that esc_html(get_the_post_thumbnail_caption()); needs to be used with echo.

You can use the same to put the caption on the page, like this:

<h3 class="image-caption"><?php esc_html(get_the_post_thumbnail_caption());?></h3>

and to get the description, I think some thing like this:

<div class="image-description>
<?php echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt;?>
</div>

You might need paragraph tags around the actual description, inside the div, like this:

<div class="image-description><p>
<?php echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_excerpt;?>
</p></div>

Let me know if that helps, or doesn’t work?

Thank you, Trevor. Some of it worked, but some of it didn’t. I was trying to create the gallery using just media, but it seems now, easier to set up a post for each project. This way the descriptions/excerpts can show.
My best regards,
Sarah
