Undo what you did then so the blog fix's

First off have you got "timbthumb" on your theme that you are using, like so.



ProtoWorker basically layed it out on a plate for you.
That is what i done for my blog & it works perfectly, i done mine a while ago though.

[Ryza]

my timthumb. is located in

public_html/domain.og/wp-content/themes/BlueCorner

[_brazzO]

Yeah thats right..
I don't see why it isn't working for you then, are you sure you are following the steps above correctly.
Have you tried chmodded the script to 777, i didn't have to do this but you never know with you.

[Ryza]

yes or can you help me do it via teamviewer to make sure please??

Have you set your "media settings" ?



Make sure you have this as follows:

Now open up index.php of your WordPress theme and inside the WordPress loop, add the following lines of code to get the path of thumbnail image of the first image in the post.

<?php

1. //Get images attached to the post
2. $args = array(
3. 'post_type' => 'attachment',
4. 'post_mime_type' => 'image',
5. 'numberposts' => -1,
6. 'order' => 'ASC',
7. 'post_status' => null,
8. 'post_parent' => $post->ID
9. );
10. $attachments = get_posts($args);
11. if ($attachments) {
12. foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
13. $img = wp_get_attachment_thumb_url( $attachment->ID );
14. break;
15. }
16. //Display image
17. }
18. ?>

Code Explanation: Firstly we fetch the images attached to the post in the order they were added to the post and if images are there we fetch the path to the thumbnail image of the first image in the post using wp_get_attachment_thumb_url function.
Now you have path of the image in $img which you can use to display the post thumbnail using img tag.


try this out also, might work for you, doesn't use the timthumb .. just another method.

Another method of foing this would be as follows:

First, paste this function on your functions.php file.

function catch_that_image() {
global $post, $posts;
$first_img = '';
ob_start();
ob_end_clean();
$output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
$first_img = $matches [1] [0];

if(empty($first_img)){ //Defines a default image
$first_img = "/images/default.jpg";
}
return $first_img;
}

Once done, you can simply call the function within the loop to display the first image from the post:

<?php echo catch_that_image() ?>

brazzo can you please do it for me I would be willing to pay for all the trouble Ive cause you..

[ProtoWorker]

Hi can you let me know your index.php structure? Also please let me know the URL to your blog.

Mate, you need to add the snippet at the place where you want the resized image to be placed, not at the top of the page Noobish act
