Download and activated plugin but thumbnails aren't appearing

Please do not use the widget “Recent Posts” but “Recent Posts With Thumbnails”.

I am using Recent Posts with Thumbnails. After installing it and placing the widget on the home page, is there another step that I am supposed to do?

I tried to update a recent post to see if the thumbnail would appear, but nothing changed.

Hi Martin,

I am not sure if I did something wrong. Would you be able to help me?

@shasheem
You are still using the widget “Recent Posts”. Where is the widget “Recent posts with thumbnails”?

The plugun that I have says “Recent posts with thumbnails” can you provide with this link that you are mentioning? Since you say I’m not using the correct one.

Did you move on the Widgets page in the backend the widget “Recent posts with thumbnails” into the widget area? Dumb question, but we have to make things clear first.

Yes I did.

Did you empty any cache of your WP installation?

No I did not, was I supposed to? I’m kind of new to wordpress.

So please let someone show you the usage of WP.

Well that’s why I’m asking the creator of this plugin…Haven’t had any problems until now.

Ok, if you would mail me the login credentials of the website I would take a look. Please mail at m dot stehle at gmx dot de.

Hi everyone,

Any ideas?

Thank you.
