Linking featured image to permalink–not working

  • I’m using the theme Atahualpa which has a Featured Image setting in the Post editing form. I uploaded an image into the beginning of a post, then went back and clicked on Featured Image and set that image at the featured one.

    I also added the code from the Codex page “Function Reference/the post thumbnail” page into my functions.php file near the top of the file. And saved my changes.

    Then I refreshed my blog homepage. But the image is not linked to the permalink (or anything else).

    What did I miss? Thank you!

    The code I added to the functions.php file is:

    add_filter( ‘post_thumbnail_html’, ‘my_post_image_html’, 10, 3 );

    function my_post_image_html( $html, $post_id, $post_image_id ) {

    $html = ‘‘ . $html . ‘‘;
    return $html;

    }

    The link to the post may not be included in the template.

    Can you provide a link to your site please?

    Christine–Thank you for the reply (and quick, too!). My site is:

    My understanding was that the code snippet would work regardless of the theme. But I’m not a pro blog creator, just trying to tweak my own blog.

    I think that in order for the thumbnails to link to the post, the theme files need to be edited.

    I downloaded the theme, but I’m extremely confused.. That is some complex theme.

    Maybe you can send the theme developer an email?

    Christine—I’m not surprised the theme is complex. It’s highly flexible. Also, quite popular I believe.

    I guess I’ll go to the developer for some help, though I think he might send me back here!
