Post Thumbnail Test

This is a test of one of the new features available in WordPress 2.9.1: Post Thumbnails!

You may upload an image and then select it as the “Post Thumbnail” in your options on the post page (typically under the Categories section on the right side).

Currently the Standard Theme uses the thumbnail size as set in your Options in you WP-ADMIN panel under “Media”. This current example and test is set to a 200×200 pixel size.

You can choose any size you’d like of course.

One of the distinct advantages of the post thumbnail functionality is consistency of presentation that this method provides; your users will become accustomed to seeing a left-justified image (which is a blogging best practice) and then your content flow to the right of it.

Enjoy!

    Hmmm, if this is a post thumbnail test, then it failed as i see no post thumbnail in the post, nor on the homepage of this blog?

      Harry:

      We often turn features on and off on the demo site when showing customers the different features. I’m guessing it was removed for this purpose and then never added back.

      Thanks for the help! You should see one there now.

    Does this work with wordpress.org and can I use this for multiple domains or just one?

      It works with WordPress.org and you can use it on as many domains as you own.

    I have an existing wordpress website which I self host – If I were to change to your theme would I be able to import my posts?

      Yes – WordPress has a built-in importer that it uses to import posts; however, by installing a new theme you don’t have to do anything to the posts. It will simply apply the theme on top of your existing content :) .

    This is a really beautiful theme, nice work you guys have done here.

    2 questions.

    Can the thumbnail be placed up by the post title, above the body? Here’s an example (I believe it’s a blog that you guys run): http://churchm.ag/

    Also, can the width of this post section be changed within the theme options?

    Thanks.

      1. You’d have to modify the markup to do that – it doesn’t do it out of the box.
      2. No, but it can be changed within custom.css (which is included exactly for changes like this :) ).
