   I uploaded a theme, Everything is fine except I can't get the images to preview on the main page, http://2new4u.com/blog/
   There should be images on the slider aswell. The post's on the slder are moving as expected, but the window for the slider is not filled with the post. Here is the setup guide http://web2feel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=644&start=20
   I entered in the custom field section "preview" then what I believe is the path for the image

   All the images on your site are being controlled by timthumb.php

   If you remove that widget, do the images display? If so, then it is a problem with the setup of timthumb.

   I have the timthumb.php but have no widgets installed. Is this something you can explain more. I did see timthumb.php but do not know what to do. Thank you for your response. I need the help.

   Ah - I see - the src for the image isn't being passed to timthumb.

   On page 1 of the forum link you posted above, did you add a custom field called "screen" as described in the section "HOW TO SETUP THE IMAGES ON THE SLIDER AND POSTS?" and include the link to the image as the "value"?

   I apreciate your help so mutch, Im sorry I made a mistake the forum link I added here was for a difrent theme. Here is the proper theme forum
   http://web2feel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1547#p5817

   and in this setup guide it is asking for me to input "preview" which I did and the image link I put in for value was
   wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ludacris5.jpg
   Per the example on the setup guide instead of the full path

   I hope this helps you help me. Thank you again.

   Try changing this:
   wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ludacris5.jpg

   to:
   blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ludacris5.jpg

   and let me know what happens.

    let me start by saying that was a great idea, but unfortunatly it didnt do the trick. The same creator of my theme was trouble shooting a simialar problem in another theme and after going into th dashboard of the user expierencing the problem came up with this,

    "Solved now.

    The problem was that your site url path and absolute path are different.
    Site url is http://www.adventurecapitalism.ca/, but wordpress is installed in a sub directory.
    The image links embeded on the template follows a default absolute path, but your sub directory created a conflict there.
    I edited the template files to link the images correctly."

    I was wondering if this could be the type of problem Im having?
    Thanks again for your help. Im hoping I can mark this issue as solved soon.

    Yup - that sounds like your problem. Can you post the part of the template file that includes the image? It should be just a line or two and will contain the text "img src="

    I downloaded the theme so I could have a look and it's using an old version of timthumb. If you download the latest version from:
    http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php
    and copy it to your theme directory, I bet it will work perfectly.
    ...but in case, I'm wrong, rename your existing timthumb.php before uploading the new one.

    Thank You Very Mutch. I got The Images Up, Still Having A Problem with Image Size Though. The Setup Guide Said It Would Adjust Sizes of images based On placement, but that doesnt seam to be happening.
