[Plugin: Category Posts Widget] Category post not show the thumb :-(

Im having the same issue as well. When I view the source of the widget output, it doesnt even seem to be rendering an image tag.

I am having the same issue. I am using Suffusion theme and I feel that the i am not clear about what thumbnails are supported by the plugin…

any help !!!

Same issue!! Added same lines as OP to funtions.php and enabled thumbnail option in wiget.

Using Woothemes Canvas.

Working now, I hadn’t set a ‘Featured Image’ for the posts.

So in my theme’s functions.php I added:

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array( ‘post’ ) );

and to my theme’s style sheet I added to get it looking a bit prettier:

.widget_categoryposts img {float: left; margin-bottom: 8px}
.widget_categoryposts li {list-style-type: none; clear: both; }
.widget_categoryposts ul {overflow: auto; }
.widget_categoryposts a {font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px}

I hope that helps someone.

Working now, I hadn’t set a ‘Featured Image’ for the posts.

I’m new to WordPress but I think the ‘Featured Image’ setting in the post editor was added around version 2.8 – it might have been called Post Thumbnail for a while.

If you’re using the latest version of WP you could try checking the screen options tab at the top of the post editor page to make sure ‘Featured Image’ is selected.

I’m using WP v3.1.2

and to my theme’s style sheet I added to get it looking a bit prettier:

.widget_categoryposts img {float: left; margin-bottom: 8px}
.widget_categoryposts li {list-style-type: none; clear: both; }
.widget_categoryposts ul {overflow: auto; }
.widget_categoryposts a {font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px}

I tried with code above, but it didn’t do any changes to my pictures. Do I ought to put this code anywhere in theme’s style.css or is it important what place I put this in?

irta:
the CSS quoted is just to style the widget (not to help display to images).
The code should work if placed in your theme’s style.css

Thanks for you reply.
I have images displayed, but what I would like, to have text around them. I hoped that code you wrote will help me with doing this.

If your text is displaying under the image then you need to ‘float’ the image in order to get the text wrapping around it. Google ‘css float’ for more info.
