Showing thumbnail

  • Everything works perfectly! The only thing I can’t figure out is this:

    When the category shows up on the new page, it shows my avatar as the image. I’d like it to show the image I’ve set as “featured”. How can I change this?

    This page will only hold recipes so I need it to show the picture of the recipe. Thanks!

  • Hi
    I just installed this plugin (it is great!) and I wanted the same thing as you. As I just installed it I do not know if there is a better way with creating a new template, but what I did (and it works) was to edit the html code under the template tab.

    Where it says:
    <div style=”float:left; margin:7px”> %post_author_avatar% </div>
    replace the %post_author_avatar% with %post_thumbnail% .

    That gave me the post thumbnail instead of the author avatar, but the thumbnail was not clickable (link to post). So I did one more tweak and the final code that replaces the original <div style=”float:left; margin:7px”> %post_author_avatar% </div> is:

    <div style="float:left; margin:7px;"> <a title="Permanent Link to %post_title%" rel="bookmark" href="%post_permalink%">%post_thumbnail%</a> </div>

    That works for me. Now I am trying to figure out how to change the size of the thumbnail.

    I changed the size of the thumbnail in blog-in-blog.php file, on line 90 there is ‘thumbnail_size’ => ‘thumbnail’, if you put ‘full’ the size is not enymore 150×150.

    It’d be nice if there was a template tag like %post_thumbnail_url% so you could just insert the URL of a post’s thumbnail into your template. I’d like to do this, but all they have available is %post_thumbnail%, which generates the full <img> HTML for the thumbnail image, whereas I just want the URL to the thumbnail image.
