   I can't figure why the thumbnails aren't showing up on my sidebar widget - it's the InFocus one. See it here: http://jasonrichstudios.com/wordpress/?page_id=4

   Hello mbarbes,

   When you create your post set an image URL in the "Post Image" option and it will show up in your blog page and in the recent / popular post widgets.

   Let us know if works for you.

   Thanks. Got the thumbnail to work but I'm wondering if I can have a thumbnail that isn't shown in the blog post anywhere else?

   Also, is there a way to change the size of the preview image on the main blog posts page?

   You can place the recent posts / popular posts widgets in other places as well. Let us know what you are trying to do and we will see if it is feasible.

   For resizing the blog post images then open up /wp-content/themes/infocus/styles.css and add this line..

   .blog_frame, .blog_frame img { width: 300px !important; height: 300px !important; }

   Next open up /wp-content/themes/infocus/lib/includes/template-blog.php and around line 189 you should see this..

   $post_image = webtreats_image_resize($height='234', $width='612', $post_image);

   Make sure to update the width and height there to reflect what you put in style.css. If you want to keep the frame then you will also need to edit the following image..

   /wp-content/themes/infocus/images/blog_thumb.png

   Let us know if you get it working mbarbes.

   Elliott,
   I followed your instructions and got it to work, but the paragraph was misaligned - see the screenshot attached, I couldn't keep it looking like that.

   Can you answer my question about having a thumbnail image that isn't referenced anywhere else in the blog post. I created a 60x60 that my customer approved for the thumbnail (so it was cropped appropriately) that worked great adding that as the Post Image, but that's the image that is used in the preview, so it obviously looked horrible.

   Any way to ONLY use the Post Image file as the Thumbnail and another separate file for the preview?

   Thanks,
   Michelle

   There isn't a way to just show a preview of the full image, not cropped to a standard size?

   I'm kind of confused mbarbes,

   If possible then send me a link to the page or attach an image showing what you want changed.
