Hi RankAhead

I’m having the exact same problem.

The functions.php file you pasted above already contains the add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); code, so I’m not sure why it’s not showing up in the post and page sections of the admin panel?

If anyone has any suggestions, please help!

Third!

I have a clean installation of Twentyten 3.0.1 running and thumbnails are simply not showing up. I’ve read Mark Jaquith’s post on WordPress Thumbnail Images and Matt Brett’s post on WordPress Post Thumbnails and Matthias Kretschmann’s post on Using The New Post Thumbnail Feature and tried to follow the instructions as closely as possible, but the Post Thumbnail box is not showing up in the editor.

I’ve tried it with other themes, too. Not sure what the problem might be or how to track it down. Just getting nothing.

To experiment, I downloaded and installed WordPress 2.9.2 and, like magic, the thumbnail feature appears just like all those people said it would.

The weird thing is that everything you’re supposed to do to make it work appears to have already been done in the TwentyTen theme. But I’m seeing nothing.

Oy, according to this thread, which points to this post, getting those thumbnails working again is going to require some hacking.

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

– increasing the memory available to PHP?

Thanks, esmi. I’ve actually installed fresh completely clean installations of WordPress, so as to eliminate any possibility of random plugins (or anything else) from being involved. Although, I did just now increase the memory_limit in the php.ini to 64MB, just to give it a shot. But sadly, no change.

It’s looking, to me, like the functionality changed between 2.9.2 and 3.0.1, with the “Post Thumbnail” feature being renamed “Featured Image” and not really being a thumbnail feature at all anymore.

Unless, do you have Post Thumbnails working in 3.0.1?

In the Admin pages, the post thumbnail is refereed to as “Featured image”.

Thanks, esmi. I can see from the number of posts you make that you’re very busy, and I appreciate your taking the time to look at my problem.

So, the thing I want is the Post Thumbnail feature. The way Mark Jaquith described it here. It may be that in 3.0.1 it’s being referred to as the “Feature Image” function now, but it’s not working the same way, at all.

Do you think you can help me figure out how to make it show a thumbnail in the loop but the full image on a single page?

If you follow Mark’s article, you should be able to add post_thumbnail support to your theme. But you still have to insert the image in the page content and set it as the featured image.

Ok, thanks.
