  Hi I am embedding youtube video in a post but no thumbnail or featured image is displayed. I am using WP 3.0.

  I have also tried to add thumb in custom field with url to the youtube page, and that puts a text link on the featured image.

  Can you tell me how to get this feature to work please!!!

    you have to use plugin to display video.
    youtube plugins

    the thumb is for displaying thumbnails, not else.

  Is there a way to turn off the pictures option? Right now all I have are big blue boxes…

  Thanks

    Go to Calotropis Theme Options > Front Page
    Scroll down until you see: If no Thumbnail/Image Found in a post then choose Don’t display any box

    go to template.php file and delete this line:
    < ?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?>

  Can you tell me why my front page is only showing 5 posts? I’d rather have it show an even number so the page looks more balanced

  Thank you

    go to wp-admin > Settings > Reading and then change “Blog pages show at most” as you desired.

  The theme is only finding the first 5 thumbnails, all others are blank. I’m using WordPress 3.0.1. I didn’t set Thumbnail image, the theme found the first 5 by searching for an image, but didn’t do so beyond the first 5 or 6 posts.

    Actually, looks like I found the problem. WordPress will only allow uploaded images (not Image URLs) for thumbnails.

  Is it possible to set a thumbnail image for a post without having to insert an image into the post? I’ve tried creating a custom field called “thumb” and trying an image URL path or an attachment ID as the value without any luck. I’m using WP 3.0. please advise . . . many thanks

  First sorry my english xD

  If we change the “}” in the line 68 to 48 the custom field “thumb” works in includes/front.php in the template folder

  ^^

  Hi Jarod,

  I’m trying your beautiful template but I don’t get the thumbs to work.

  I just looked at line 68 to 46 but see nothing wrong. Can you show use the line code that we have to change??

  Thanks for this great Theme

    first in spanish
    Para que funcionase el campo personalizado “thumb” yo lo que hice fue modificar el archivo front.php dentro de includes en la carpeta del theme.

    según te descargas la última versión en la línea 47 hasta la 70 tienes:
    
if ($img){
[.....]
}elseif (!empty($imgurl)){
[....]
$src=get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/includes/timthumb.php?src='.$imgurl.'&w='.floor($width).'&h='.floor($height).'&zc=1';
}
}
if (!empty($src)){........

    Yo lo que hice fue poner esa “}” que hay antes del if (!empty($src)){…….., arriba, antes de if ($img){….
    
}
if ($img){
[.....]
}elseif (!empty($imgurl)){
[....]
$src=get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/includes/timthumb.php?src='.$imgurl.'&w='.floor($width).'&h='.floor($height).'&zc=1';
}

    if (!empty($src)){........

    in “english” xDDDD

    I modified the file front.php in /includes/ in the theme folder. And now the custom field “thumb” work.

    In the last versión in the line 47 to 70:
    
if ($img){
[.....]
}elseif (!empty($imgurl)){
[....]
$src=get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/includes/timthumb.php?src='.$imgurl.'&w='.floor($width).'&h='.floor($height).'&zc=1';
}
}
if (!empty($src)){........


    I only quit the “}” before if (!empty($src)){……, and put it before if ($img){…

    
}
if ($img){
[.....]
}elseif (!empty($imgurl)){
[....]
$src=get_bloginfo('template_directory').'/includes/timthumb.php?src='.$imgurl.'&w='.floor($width).'&h='.floor($height).'&zc=1';
}

    if (!empty($src)){........


    Sorry my english.

  Using a datafeed with an external image-url link as my main picture source. Result is that no thumbnail is shown. Can I tweak this to capture thumb off image?

    Anthony, if your images are all coming from the same url, then you can add that url to timthumb.php

    find

    $allowedSites = array (
    ‘flickr.com’,
    ‘picasa.com’,
    ‘blogger.com’,
    ‘wordpress.com’,
    ‘img.youtube.com’,
    );

    and add the site which your images are coming from

  This is such a very nice idea! Having whiskies and other drinks come in small bottles. We get to taste the whisky first before we decide to buy. If we don’t like the taste then we won’t buy it. No waste of money.
