So I'm having a little issue with this theme. I can't seem to find the author's support forum related to it so I thought I would see if anyone here has any idea what the images related to the homethumb might not be appearing on the index.
So anyone using this theme who can give me an idea how they got it to show up

Yes boss I have exactly the same problem. If you get the solution let me know.
This is the written in the help file,But now working for me in onlineodisha.com
So please check & let me know.
Set thumbnail for posts
The minipost section and the headlines carousal section of the theme has custom fields enabled to display thumbnail images attached to them.
1. Go to Admin panel > Write post
2. Give post title , and write down the content.
3. Select Add media > Add an image > Upload your choice of image ( size 200px X 120 px )
4. Scroll down to the Custom field area and set the key name as homethumb ( case sensitive) and enter the name of the image you uploaded in the value field.
5. Then Add the custom field to the post.

Hi,
I am the author of the redux theme. I have included a setup guide in the theme pack which will guide you to get all the aspects of theme up and running smoothly.
I can see on the post above by johnbablex has quoted the exact steps to enable thumbnails on your posts.
But before uploading any images, just make sure you have un-checked the upload organizing in month year basis.
You can do it by going to Admin panel > Settings > Miscellaneous and UNCHECK the organize uploads into month- and year-based folders.
This is beacuse the path to image is predefined on the theme and month /year variable will break it.
If you have already uploaded the images, i suggest you upload them once again after this setting is made.
when you fill the custom field, make sure the key is homethumb and the value is name of the image without extension like .jpg, not the url of the image.
It should work by now.
thanks

Just installed this theme...having the same problem. I've unchecked the month-year folders option, and followed the directions to a tee.
I'm quite the novice but I'm fairly sure I'm doing everything correctly. My picture is 200 x 120, it's uploaded, I'm using the same picture in the post as I am in the homethumb key. Is this a problem?
Any help at all is appreciated.

Hi pseroogy,
You have done almost everything right.
But you entered the homethumb value wrong. You only had to enter the name of the image.
In your case, enter the value as evridge instead of evridge.jpg. Because jpg extension is predefined on the theme.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi jinsona
I have the some problem like others about show the thumbs in the posts. I create a category, uncheck settings exactly you said in your pdf doc but nothing run... The thumb only show in the main windows (the first) but in the others at the front end (Headlines and above) nothing.
I hope you help us cause this a great theme.
tks

I'm having the exact same problem and don't know how to fix it.
This may be of help though...
When I'm uploading an image, I'm using a full URL path location to the image as that is the only way I can upload the images. Could this be causing the problem with the thumb images not showing up?
All other steps were followed exactly from the guide.
And also, is there a way to remove the "Headlines Today" portion? I can't seem to figure out how to do it without screwing up the entire theme.
Yes, I am new to WP theme adjusting, so any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and I'm using the ZinMag Futura, but couldn't find a post for that.

Jinsona - brilliant theme
I've read everything and am following the directions, but regarding this:
"when you fill the custom field, make sure the key is homethumb and the value is name of the image without extension like .jpg, not the url of the image."
I don't see a custom field, to put the key or value
When I do the "Add media" there's "Source" "Image Title" "Image Caption" and "Link Url"
Or if I go through the manage images, there's a "title" a "caption" and a "description" field
Is this because I'm using WP 2.6.2?

Hello...love the Zinmag Redux Theme as well, but frustrated. Any help would be appreciated.
3 problems:
1. For some reason when I write a new Page, it does not appear on the site. It is saved, and published. It shows up as an option on the homepage banner, but after you click on it...Nothing is there.
2. None of my widgets appear in the sidebars. The are all set and saved, but just don't show up.
3. Video/Poplar areas are not working. This might be related to the widget problem?
Please Help!! www.regularsportsguys.com

@ jbells100
Please install and enable the popularity-contest supplied along with the theme pack. Since it is not installed the theme is not loading completely and cuts off your sidebars and pages.
@chapmanmontgomery
Please note that the custom fields are not located in the image management section. It is located in the advanced options ,along with excerpts, trackbacks etc. Just scroll down a bit from your post editor window. You cannot miss it.. It is same for Wp 2.6.2
For anyone who gets the sidebar drifted down on IE-6, just reduce the featured video width by 5px or 10px. That will do the trick.
For anymore support issues contact me via wpfreethemes.com
Plz remember to mention the url of your blog on your support requests.

I can't get the thumbnails to display. I am using homethumb and just the name minus the extension. The site is
http://www.ohioverticals.com/blogs/ourspace/
I created the categories and a test post for each. They are all using the same thumbnail simply to see if I can make this work.
My uploads are not using the dates for the images. They are going straight to uploads.
If my categories are multiple names, like "Local Schools" I am using local-schools as the value in the glide.php page. Is that correct?
Any thoughts as to what I missed or doing incorrectly?

Hello,
Awesome template. I have everything up and working no problem. The pdf help you put in was very helpful. One item hopefully someone can help me one.
For the feature part (Right above headline) not sure if that is the glide, but what I would like to do is show more than one featured. I have four postings under the feature section, but it only shows the most recent one. What do I change so it shows the last 4 postings under featured.
Thanks,

Hi
I have installed this and am still troubleshooting various bits and pieces and I think I had these problems. What the PDF file and text above does not state is the the image should be inserted into the post and the Thumbnail option selected. If you just insert an image and do all the other steps the image will not be displayed.
Try this - hope it helps.
I am still having problems displaying the headlines but will plough on a bit before approaching the the forum for help :-)

This theme is broken in IE 6. Like most sites it looks great in Firefox. Life would be so much better if IE simply vanished...
I could not get my thumbs to work until I removed the "static page" plugin. Not sure whey I had that activated, mostly likely I copied the plugins from a previous WP install, but it was killing the thumbs.

Hay, Thankx It worked.
My Site Is SpeciallySports.com
But seeing and facing that homethumb problem i was thinking to make it a bit easy and use remote image too. I will try new custom field very soon.

I love this template! Thank you!
I got the thumbs working, but there's one catch... they link to the wrong articles (the 1st pic has no link, the 2nd pic links to 1st article, 3rd pic to 2nd article...). (see livetruly.com)
It looks like asif2bd has same problem as does ohioverticals.com/blogs/ourspace/ (at least at 12:11am pst on oct 13th).
Any idea what's happening and how to fix it?

Thank you so much for putting up the best theme I've seen. And for FREE?! Wow.
Your PDF instructions were right on the money for me.
One problem I've not seen any other posts on.
My Category 'drop down' menu gets overlapped by the 'glide' module.
I've tried adding a z-index attribut to a few places, but no success.
Any ideas?

Figured it out =D the read more link isn't closed. you need to add a after the "read more" link. if you want the thumb linked, you have to add it separately:
for to close the read more link:
<div class="postmore"> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More</a></div>to link the thumbnail:
<div class="centry">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php $homethumb = get_post_meta($post->ID,'homethumb', true); ?>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/uploads/<? echo strtolower($homethumb); ?>.jpg" width="100" height="60" ></a>Hope this helps =)

Please post your zinmag series theme related queries here at the new support forum I've setup.
Thank you

jinsona I have been trying to contact you in every way I possibly know how! 1. Why is Web2feel down. But my true question is on your Zinmag Remedy how can I get the minipost to show the most recent post? I also want to do that for the slide? Every time I try doing it my self it comes out completely wrong, so I tried to do it on the control panel but the control panel won't do anything!? I don't understand why? Please help I am under a very tight dead line! Thank you.
Best Regards,
Joe
