I’d like to make my most recent article display a large with a larger thumbnail and with more content, while the rest of the posts in the loop show a small thumbnail and only the title with no content.
Is there a way I can do this in one while(have_posts())
loop?
check the built in counter
$wp_query->current_post
within the loop:I’m no wordpress expert but could you use 2 loops one showing the latest post and one showing posts after in order to have the different CSS?
So loop for most recent …
And the second loop (offsets the posts by 1)
You can change showposts=5 to show the number of posts you want in the remaining loop.
