post thumb nail

[cowboymike]

Hi Jason,
I have created a post and added a photo to it that I uploaded to the media section. The thumbnail of the photo is not showing up in the right side bar under Recent Posts. See attached. Can you help me with that?

Also I linked the photo in the post to the light box popup as per your instructions in the theme demo. It pops up just fine. On the popup photo it reads near the bottom “undefined”. How can I change that to a description of the photo?

The thumbnail of the photo is not showing up in the right side bar under Recent Posts.

You need to set the image as the “featured image” on the post. This is how you set a post thumbnail in WordPress. —

Here’s a video I found online that will show you how to do that: http://www.screenr.com/q7c

You need to put a title tag on whatever anchor tag is linking to the lightbox. title="Whatever"

Hi Jason,
I followed the instructions on the video. But now I have 2 images in the post. See attached screen shot.

Here is the html in the post:

I would like just one image. What have I done wrong?
Thanks, Mike

You can hide the featured image on the current single post page from your Post Options when setting up that post.
