I like the idea of being able to exclude categories from the related post list. However, by excluding categories any posts in those categories are automatically excluded. This is different than filtering. For example:
Post 1
Categories: Mammal, North America, large
Post 2
Categories: Fish, North America, large
Post 3
Categories: Mammal, South America, small
Post 4
Categories: Reptile, Africa, large
Let’s say we’re viewing Post 1. I don’t want related posts to be based on location or size, only the type of animal (mammal, fish, reptile, etc.). With WP Thumbie, if I exclude all locations and sizes, both Post 2, 3 and 4 become unavailable as related posts because they belong to an excluded category. Ideally the plugin would filter the results and see only the remaining included categories (i.e., fish, mammal, reptile, etc.). I think this is the key to more high quality related results.

Thanks for a nice plugin
Is there any list of pages and post for this plugin to uncheck and thus exclude. Post can be placed in categories and then excluded. What about pages? How can you exclude them?

I’ve installed Wp-Thumbie version 0.1.9 on my WP 3.5.1 installation and everything works fine. You can see a working version here at the bottom of the post:
I had to do some custom CSS to get the grid layout and opacity effect, but I think everything turned out fine. I also edited the plugin code to add an alt element to each image and forced it to use the featured image instead of a random image from the post.
]]>Hi,
I am trying out your plugin and it seems great but I have one problem though – when displaying the thumbnail it only displays the default image from the plugin and not the image from the post.

What have I done wrong?

]]>Hi!
We have a custom default image for related posts without an image and whenever we upgrade the plugin our custom image is overwritten. As of now the only way is to replace the standard “default image” in the images folder and it is therefor lost upon upgrade. Please add a field from admin where you add your own default image. That way we can just upgrade without any issues. Thank you!
Best regards,
Stefan
* If a photo is at the top of the blog post, Thumbie shows the coding for the caption instead of the text. (Yes, there’s a solution in a post below, but one reason why I went to WP from Expression Engine was so I didn’t have to learn coding to make fixes like this.)
* If you move the photo down to the next paragraph, sometimes it is fixed, sometimes not.
* If you don’t have a photo on your blog post, sometimes it correctly shows the blank image, sometimes not.
In short, it does not work consistently enough. I end up having to create a post, check the links at the bottom, work and rework previous posts, and sometimes it still does not work.

]]>Don’t use it. It has too much mistakes e.g. it doesn’t shows images.
]]>I just upgrade the plugin and all the images are gone.
How to fix it ?
Thanks.
]]>I installed this piece of sh*t on two of my sites and it damn near locked up my VPS. It took forver just to delete this of my server. Great idea but piss-poor coding.
]]>This plugin rendered my dedicated server completely useless for a whole week because a client had it installed. It uses HORRIBLE SQL queries that made MySQL resource usage spike up, leaving nothing for the other processes. Find another.
]]>This plugin is working just fine with WP 3.01, however the author needs to deal with the image alt & title tags as these are empty tags in the plugin code.
]]>WP-Thumbie is a great plugin. I noticed it didn’t strip [caption] shortcode, so when you have an image at the beginning of your post it will show up in related posts description, pretty ugly. I’m not code, but I spent some time and figured out how to get rid of it. Thought I share in case someone else needs it.
Look for wp-thumbie.php in the plugin’s directory. Now, look for this line:
$post_text = wp_trim_excerpt($post_text); // Get Post Ecerpt
Once you find it, you will need to paste this new line right after the one you just found:
$post_text = preg_replace("/\[caption[^>]+\[\/caption\]/i", "", $post_text);
This basically replaces [caption] with nothing. So, once you done this is what it should look like:
$post_text = wp_trim_excerpt($post_text); // Get Post Ecerpt
$post_text = preg_replace("/\[caption[^>]+\[\/caption\]/i", "", $post_text);It should work right away =)
Hope this helps you out.
]]>should use:
chmod 644 for files
chmod 755 for folders
Alas the support for this GREAT plugin is very poor.
Does anyone know how to call our OWN thumbnails as Timthumb is just as useless??
