Single 4 without featured image

On the fourth post template, I’m getting a very strange placement of the title when there’s no featured image. (I have modified my loop-single-4 and single_template_4, but I already switched back to the parent theme versions to test this, and it still happens.)

Here’s what it looks like with a featured image:

Seems good to me. But here’s what happens without one. (The text is selected, it doesn’t have a background):

Hmm…

On a similar note, let’s say I want to use has_post_thumbnail to sort out the template, so that it works like normal if there is one but looks more like style 2 if not. Would that solve my problem?

Thanks for the idea! I didn’t want to do it on a post-by-post basis (so. many. posts.) However, I couldn’t get it to style the way I wanted, either.

So this is what I did in the end:

1. Copied td_add_single_template_class to my functions.php, removed the filter for the parent function and added a filter for my child function

2. Updated the part of the function that puts in the default class, to first check for the case where the class is ‘single_template_4’ and !has_post_thumbnail(), and if so change the class to ‘single_template_2’ before adding it

3. Updated single_template_4.php, putting this conditional in:
if (in_array('single_template_4', get_body_class()))

4. Wrapped the entire remaining code in there, then added an else and copied the equivalent content from single_template_2.php and pasted it in the same way

It works! Needless to say, I’ve learned a lot about WordPress over the last two hours :p
