I am working on a custom theme and on one of the pages i need to style the posts pages as follows: http://gyazo.com/e1f7cfc03c7ba3981188077afcdf0314
The grey box is an image and the red box is content. I need to use perhaps an odd/even Li/Ul pseudo class/selector but i have no idea how to do it.
Could anyone offer me a way to start it up? I was thinking of using the Odd/Even pseudo class on UL to change the divs names however i can’t think how to do it or where to start.
Thanks!
Edit: I am thinking perhaps odd/even selector combined with jquery prepend/append?
Edit2: this is what i have however it is displaying all the Odds first then all of the Evens instead of alternatively.
PHP:
<?php $i++; if(($i % 2) == 0) : $wp_query->next_post(); else : the_post(); ?>
<div class="section group">
<div class="col span_1_of_2 blue doubleheight">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?></a>
</div>
<div class="col span_1_of_3_30 blue doubleheight">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="post-text"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
<?php echo $i; ?>
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
<?php while(have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $i++; if(($i % 2) !== 0) : $wp_query->next_post(); else : the_post(); ?>
<div class="section group">
<div class="col span_1_of_3_30 blue doubleheight">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="post-text"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div></div>
<div class="col span_1_of_2 blue doubleheight">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?></a>
</div>
</div>
<?php echo $i; ?>
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
Since you are in the loop, you can use the build in loop counter (
$wp_query->current-post
) to add a different class to all odds or all evens or bothThere is no need to run two loops. Here is an example of how I use this in my website to create two post columns
EDIT
I misunderstood you in my original answer, but you can still use the same idea as I used there. Here is something you can try. Just replace all your code with this
