Hello,


I have been researching all afternoon how to get the post thumbs plugin to work. It appears that most people with this theme have the same problem by the forums I've read. I have made the directory writable, but they still refuse to show up. I have repeated the installation over and over.


Here is the site: cdaidaho.com


Thanks,


Andy

Hi Andy,
It looks like the images that post thumb is trying to get are something like :

cdaidaho.com/home/cdaidaho/public_html/wp-content/uploads/thumbs/thumb-page-2-223-300×199.jpg

which is obviously not a proper path. This means that the server path settings on the post-thumb settings page in your /wp-admin/ is incorrect. You can confirm these paths with your host if you are unsure. You can also forward over your blog login information via e-mail, and I can login and take a look for you if you like.

Thanks! It automatically added my full directory, so I just left it. I had to cut out the /home/myaccount/public_html/ to get it to work.


Any idea why the thumbs in the categories look funky/not big enough? http://cdaidaho.com/category/business/

You can add:

.archivebox .thumblist img {

    width:75px;
    height:75px;
   
}

But that will only enlarge the thumbs. From what i can see you need to create new thumbnails. Go to settings and in the media section do something similar to this:

resize-thumbnail-wordpress


then use this plug-in http://wordpress.org/extend/pl…..humbnails/ to regenerate the thumbs.


Let me know if this changes anything for you.

Yes for the news plus theme, I'd recommend setting all thumbnail sizes to 75×75 in the post-thumb settings page. Also make sure to uncheck 'keep aspect ratio'.
