Jon Asked: How to add thumbnails above post on the THiCK theme
I was asked by a reader:
I’m using the THiCK theme for my new design blog. I noticed you were able to add thumbnail images above your blog posts on the home page. What would I need to do to enable this on my blog?
Well Jon, this can be done very simple, since the theme is already using the Tim Thumb script.
What you will need to do is find in your index.php file, the second loop. Which you can find on line 40.
<?php query_posts('offset=1&showposts=' . get_option('woo_other_entries') . '&cat=-' . $GLOBALS['ex_asides'] ); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post">
<h2><a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="post-meta"><?php the_time('j/m/y'); ?> <span>|</span> <?php comments_popup_link('0 Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></div>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Now we are going to add in the code. At line 43 we are going to add:
<?php if (get_option('woo_resize')) { // Check if we should use the image resizer ?>
<a title="Continue reading this entry..." href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/thumb.php?src=<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "image", $single = true); ?>&h=80&w=280&zc=1&q=90" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
<?php } else { ?>
<a title="Continue reading this entry..." href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "image", $single = true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>
<?php } ?>
That’s it, just make sure that in the THiCK options panel you choose the “resize” option, or the image might break the layout. Or you may change the this code: $post->ID, "image", to: $post->ID, "image_thumb", and use a separate image for the lower blog.
Child
New theme release: CULT[i]VATE
Doing theme modification and even custom template files has brought me to this point. Today I’ve created my first premium theme, and since I am a huge fan of Hybrid, I decided that a child theme would be an appropriate starting point.
So after some time playing with many options and idea’s I’ve finally released a premium theme. This theme, which I am calling CULT[i]VATE is a child theme.
Unfamiliar with child themes? You may want to check out this post Ian Stewart wrote.
CULT[i]VATE is a child theme of the Hybrid:
Hybrid is a user-friendly, search-engine optimized theme framework, featuring 14 custom page templates and 9 widget-ready areas, allowing you to create any type of site you want.
CULT[i]VATE includes four new widget-ready area’s and one custom accordion widget for one of the area’s. It also includes two front page templates.
This theme is for sale for $12.00 which you can purchase here. Looking for a demo?

I’ve had some time the last few days while my XPS computer has been having difficulties and the Dell replacement parts didn’t fix, what I know now to be a faulty LCD screen.
So I’ve made a few updates and changes to my WordCult theme. The new version is: 0.3.
Update for 0.3:
A lot of changes to the core files, many files have been changed, removed and moved. So please if upgrading, backup your database. The core folder has been changed from wordcult2 to wordcult so you may want to just upload it as another theme and activate it.
For any other changes please view the changelog or view the readme file.
If you’ve noticed any issues please contact me or leave a comment.
Update for 0.3.0.1:
This was fast.. I forgot to add a function to my sub_page_menu :).
Update for 0.3.1.1:
Crucial update! Fixes an spelling error in the metaboxes.php file, which could pose an issue with your custom fields like the “image” dynamic resizer.
At the time of writing this post I have Theme Hybrid as my parent theme, and am using a custom version of Hybrid News that Justin Tadlock offers to the public.
Well I want to tell you how you can add additional custom meta boxes to your child theme’s running the Hybrid Theme.
In your child function.php file just add the following to create a new post meta box:
/**
* Add additional post meta boxes
*
* by WPCult
*/
function wpcult_post_meta_boxes($meta_boxes) {
$meta_boxes['image'] = array(
'name' => 'image',
'default' => '',
'title' => __('Image:'),
'type' => 'text',
'show_description' => false,
'description' => __('Please use a full size image, larger than 500px (this photo will dynamically re-size itself!'),
);
return $meta_boxes;
}
add_filter('hybrid_post_meta_boxes', 'wpcult_post_meta_boxes');
This will create a custom meta box called Image, and will create a custom field with the id of image.
Additionally you can create this on pages as well by copy/paste and replacing “post_meta_box” with “page_meta_box” every where inside the function.

I tried this but the the image double up the main featured article. So I have the Large image and then the smaller thumbnail under it. Both lead to the same entry.

Nevermind, I was inserting on the wrong line. Looks like it was Line 45 for me.

Oh, Sorry about that. Maybe I shouldn’t write what line it may be on.
Hope it works out! Just remember to look for the correct php code as well.

thanks for the post.
I don’t know much about code, and I’m having the same problem of Thomas.
Could you show the exacto point to insert the code?
THANKS!!

Worked out nicely. I have another questions where would we go to do this on the actual category post in this theme.

Oh I got it. I added the same code in the first loop to the archives.php and you got a thumbnail for your category post.
