GOOGLE SEARCH: WordPress cheat sheet

Single.php

Page 20: Your Theme Can Do That Too!

We open up single.php and using the cheat sheet, we know we want to use the “Get post thumbnail” code. We want that to be under the title of the blog post. We also want to get the author name. So we find that code, place it under the title and save. Upload the file.
