Using {thumb} in custom post_html not generating img tags

    I’m trying to call wpp_popular_posts in my theme using the following code:

    wpp_get_mostpopular("range=weekly&header='Popular This Week'&limit=4&post_html=<article><header><h1>{title}</h1></header>{thumb}</article>&wpp_start='<div>'&wpp_end='</div>'");

    but for some reason the {thumb} is not generating any images, not even an img tag in the resulting markup (but everything else is there.) Does anyone have any idea as to why?

    I tried adding the widget and checked display post thumbnails and they worked fine there, but when I try inside the theme it doesn’t work.

    Hi there!

    Additionally to the {thumb} content tag, you also need to specify the dimensions of the thumbnail using the parameters thumbnail_width and thumbnail_height. Otherwise, WPP will ignore the tag.

    On a side note: I was completely sure that this was documented somewhere, but it appears not to be the case. Thanks for the reminder.

    Ahh ok. I saw those parameters but it said the default was 15 so I assumed they weren’t required to make that work, but adding them in worked.

    Thanks!

    You’re right. That’s actually my mistake: on the documentation it says 15, but in the code it’s actually 0 (which is why no thumbnails are shown). I’ll correct that on the next release.
