The login system for WP is set up so that users are defined within the system and the info is in the mysql database. The university would like to bypass that system completely and use their system. A login screen pops up and it searches their database, then redirects to the WP admin page. I’m just not sure how to implement that. I am not a php programmer, but I have changed the code based upon the forum’s recommendations.

The page was originally blank because some of the files had not actually uploaded. Now I can’t connect to the database so I will talk to my database administrator. Thanks.

Thank you, miklb! Your solution was brilliant, yet so simple! I can’t use the upload feature that creates thumbnails because I can’t set chmod to 777. So I use DW to upload a full-size image and thumbnail. Then I insert the image tags as described in the link above. It is a little more work, but it accomplishes what I want. Thanks again for your help.

Well, I’ve been told that chmod 777 is a severe security risk so I can’t upload images using that WP feature. Is there any way to use this plugin or another with the image icon in the Write Post screen?

Oh, I get it now. I tried to upload an image, but I got an error. I don’t think that chmod is set to 777. The university is very picky about permissions. Hopefully, they’ll do it for me. I’ll let you know if I’m successful. Thanks again for your help.

I’m sorry. I must be an idiot, but how do you go from a thumbnail on the index page to a larger picture on the single post page? Also, do you still upload pictures using the icon in the Write Post Screen? I tried to implement your code, but it didn’t work. Here is my site: https://www.depts.ttu.edu/agriculturalsciences/news/

I tried putting “><?php post_image(”, true, true); ?> in the loop on the index page and setting use_thumb to false on the single post page. I had a large image and a thumbnail image, uploading the large image using the icon in the Write Post screen. If I upload the thumbnail, the larger picture does not appear on the single post page. Even after reading all of the threads and the plugin page, I don’t understand how this is different from the upload icon built in. Please help. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the plugin, Ryan. You did on your site exactly what I want to do on mine. Can you tell me how you used the template tag in your loop?

<?php post_image(‘default_image’, use_thumb, img_tag, ‘css_class’, ‘customkey’, display); ?>
~or~
<?php szub_post_image(‘args’); ?>

I don’t exactly understand the parameters.

If you don’t mind my asking, what is the image in your first post? I can’t figure it out.
