This seems to be working for me. Checks to see if thumbnail_html exists first and adds a class for styling.

<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail_html', true) ) { ?>
<div class="thumbnail thumbnail "><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail_html', $single = true); ?></div>
<?php } ?>

Thanks all for your help on this.

Seems to be some debate whether this is a plugin issue, or a theme issue. Anyhow, I’m on hybrid and just thought I’d share the support thread over there for others seeking a solution.

Would you need to add something like this to make the thumbs appear, or should they display automatically (meaning, maybe I have an issue with my theme)?

<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, “thumbnail_html”, $single = true); ?>

Just can’t seem to get it to display?

OK, so that seems to pass the featured image img src into the front page post as a custom field ‘thumbnail_html’. Getting closer.

Is there something you added to home.php to make it display? It doesn’t seem to display automagically.

Where do I find the beta version of that plugin?

Just upgraded to 3.0.4 and it doesn’t work on that version (so maybe it is included on 3.1).

Have tried a variety of ways to make this work – and it is just a no-go. I’ve tried added thumb support to my theme:

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 150, true );

Also, my theme uses the get-the-image plugin from Justin Tadlock, can’t get that to pass to the front page easier.

Good thing that it looks like 3.1 is getting close. Fingers crossed its in there ??

Great. I’m due for an upgrade anyhow, so, I’ll give it a go and report back.

Any update on this? It’s still a lingering issue on my site https://canadiangolfer.com

Does anyone know of a way yet for sitewide tags to pull the thumbnail in and show it on the homepage?

I have been just doing it manually for the past year, adding in the thumnail myself which isn’t ideal.
