trying to get thumbnail to appear before post

Question

http://news-test.gnome.org/original-posts/

I would like the thumbnail to appear before the title of the post here. I have tried making a list-category-posts folder right under my theme folder, with a new template file called thumb-before-title.php. The only thing I changed from default.php was I placed the

//Post Thumbnail $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_thumbnail($single);

right after "Start a list item for each post..." and right before "Show the title and link..."

I then added template=thumb-before-title to my shortcode, but I get an empty page. If I add template=thumb-before-title.php, I get a page of posts, but the thumbnail still appears after the title.

I have tried several other ways to make this work, all to no avail.

What do you suggest? Thank you so very much!

I'm not quite sure why your template changes aren't taking -- it looks like you're doing what you should. If you'd like to fix the problem via CSS, adding these rules to your styles.css file would make that page look nice:

.lcp_catlist li {
    margin: 0;
    list-style: none;
}
.lcp_catlist li img {
    margin: 5px 10px;
    float: left;
}
