Theme thumbnail generation , can it be stopped or altered ?

The image is only showing once per post – on each page. don’t assume that everyone who views the single post page will have arrived there via one of your archive pages. Google, for example, could drop a visitor straight onto the single post page.

As for having different image size, you control what size of image is shown in the single post page when you insert it.

I can sontrol the single post but it shows up on the main page as a double thumbnail , it just doesn’t look right that way so i’d like to be have it show up in two different sizes so it doesnt look like an error as it currently does . This issue also effects the share/save link that was at the bottom of the main page post. I remved it to only show in the single post as it was thimbnailing and smooshing a 256×24 image into the 135 x135 space

Ps thank you very for your help yesterday as well with the ‘the content – the excerpt ‘ problem o was having as u can see o fixed that to fond this error .

T is only showing once per page but the problem is on the main page

I think it’s the switch from the_excerpt() to the _content() that created this problem. My guess is that the them was originally designed to show a post excerpt along with a thumbnail of the first image associated with that post. That works because the_excerpt strips out all images.

Now that you’ve switched to the_content(), images aren’t stripped out. And if you have an image above the <--more--> tag, it will be displayed. Along with the original automated thumbnail.

As I see it, you’ve got 3 options:

1. Keep all images in posts below the <!--more--tag>.

2. Switch the_content() back to the_excerpt() and get used to using the Optional Excerpt box on each post to add post teaser text but no images.

3. Edit index.php to remove the original automated thumbnail code.

I can’t really tell where that original line to thumbnail it is ; the code I altered was only the line
<?php the_content( ); ?>. The orginal line was <?php echo dp-clean($post->post-content, 300); ?>

Can I replace that main page thumbnail with a generic thumbnail for all main page posts easily ?
