Hi,

Where exactly do you add this code?

I went tho editor>theme functions and added this.

I went back to the blog and clicked to read a post and
This is what happend ,my post is not diplaying,just a blank white page with this
error message:

<meta name=”description” content=”
Fatal error: Call to undefined function has_post_thumbnail() in /home/pola4853/public_html/mysite.ca/wp-content/themes/antisnews/functions.php on line 81

I am not a techie,I am assuming there is a conflict maybe with thumbnail setting somewhere ?

Here is exacly where I placed the code

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

I would also like to show excerpts & first post picture on feedburner feed
Grateful for help !
Thanks

You have to put it in functions.php after the opening <?php is fine. It can’t be inside another function. Also that function is for displaying images inserted using wordpress’ featured image function. That needs to be active in your theme

Sorry about the paste!

i just tried putting the code right after

<?php

but am still getting the error message/blank page

And How do I activeate wp featured image function ,please ?

Thanks

Hello Dear,
i don’t know if the thread is still alive but i also want to do the same thing.

Here is my blog
https://www.TodaysBollywood.com
and here is its feed url
https://www.TodaysBollywood.com/feed

Let me tell you that i have created a feed url at
https://feeds2.feedburner.com/todaysbollywood
I have set the wordpress reading settings to summary and you can see the first image and post excerpt in feedburner feed at this url https://feeds2.feedburner.com/todaysbollywood.

Now what i want is, feedburner should send first image and post excerpt to email subscribers but it os not sending.
You can try it by subscribing to my blog feed at
https://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=TodaysBollywood

If anyone know the answer and if someone does the same.
Thanks

The code works fine when inputted into our theme’s Functions.php file, on WordPress 3.2.

Was just about to write a little function to do this, so thanks, as ever, the community saves me 10 minutes!

If it isn’t working, there must be a conflict with some plugin or some function already contained within your theme. Try with the default theme, then, if it still doesn’t work, try disabling plugins that your think use thumbnailing. Once you identify the plugin that’s breaking this function, either, decide if you really need that plugin OR just edit the function to use different terms.

Hope you can all get this working – it’s helping us to publish via RSS to our Facebook page, yet going through Feedburner, and still using an image, without giving the sploggers access to full text RSS.

Highly recommended functionality, in other words, which should probably enter the core at some point!

robscott – thank you so much for this. worked for me!

I’d just like to ask is there a way to make all the image sizes displayed consistent? Like where/how would I add something like “image width=250”

Thanks for your help!!
