Thanks, Pinyo! Your code worked like a charm! I’m not a techie at all, but was able to figure out how to do it based on your screenshots and instructions.

I also tried cmsdev’s solution, and the code just ended up displaying on the index page. There is either code missing or I pasted it in the wrong place.

You can do this without the meta-field workaround. Just querying the posts and get the images:

// get image post
$__query = “SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = ‘”.$post->ID.”‘ AND post_type = ‘attachment’”;

$atid = $wpdb->get_var($__query);

if (wp_attachment_is_image($atid)) {
// 2nd attr = { thumbnail, medium, full }
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $atid, ‘thumbnail’ );

echo $image['url'];
}

You don’t have to take this much headache for doing this. There is a plugin named “Thumbnail for Excerpts” available at http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts

Just install and activate.

You can see it in action on my blog.

I don’t see what snapshot.com has anything to do with the article either. I think you missed my point.

why on earth would anyone want to go to all that trouble when you can just use snapshot.com???? It takes two minutes and sows a thumbnail + rss feed of recent posts so user can get even more depth about the site before even clicking.

Thank You.

I have searched and read dozens of tutorials about how to add thumbnails. I’m not php geek so most of them made no sense to me. Then I found your tutorial, straight to the point, simply and well explained. Thanks to your tutorial I figured it out and thumbs are now working fine on my blog.

Thanks again, blogthority is bookmarked I’ll come back next time I’m struggling.
