    Hi, the custom thumbnail isn’t working for me – please see my shortcode below:

    [child_pages cols=”4″ hide_excerpt=”true” skin=”simple” list=”false” use_custom_thumbs=”/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/new-dma-featuredimage-640×390.png” hide_more=”true” link_titles=”true”]

    many thanks

    Hi … the use_custom_thumbs does not accept a link to an image. It needs to be passed the name of a custom field which will hold the details of a custom image … this allows a different image to be used for each page (other than the featured image).

    You need to set the image to be displayed in the named custom field for the pages that you want it to be displayed on.

    The following is taken from https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/cc-child-pages/ :

    [child_pages use_custom_thumbs="custom_cc_thumnail"]

    … will replace the standard thumbnail with one specified in the value of the custom field custom_cc_thumnail (if it is set). The value of the custom_cc_thumnail custom field can either be set to the ID of the image attachment (using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin can make this much easier to use) or to the full URL of the image.
