   Hello,

   In my blog the thumbnail feature is enabled. However, I would like that this feature was enabled only to certain categories. Eg.: I have two categories, in which the posts associate to them go to the home page - to these categories I want the thumbnails enabled. However, I have other posts associate to other categories, which don't go the home page - to posts from these categories, I would like do disable the thumbnail feature. Is this possible?

   Thanks in advance,
   Fábio Vasques

   You can't disable post thumbnails on a per-category basis but you could stop any post thumbnails from being displayed for certain categories using the is_category conditional.

   <?php
   // don't show thumbnail for categories 3, 7 & 9
   if( !is_category( array(3,7,'9') ) ) the_post_thumbnail();
   ?>

   Thanks for the code! I understood that I have to adapt it to my categories. In your example, the last category (9) is between '', right?
   Only one last help: in which file do I insert it?

   I tried in a few files, but didn't work. Eg.: When I've inserted the code in the "post-thumb.php" file, didn't work to the selected categories (thumbnails were still showing) and in the non-selected categories the thumbnail got bigger.

   Thanks again for your help and your patience!

   Typo. It should have read:

   <?php
   // don't show thumbnail for categories 3, 7 & 9
   if( !is_category( array(3,7,9) ) ) the_post_thumbnail();
   ?>

   No single quotes.

   In your theme's category template file. Either category.php. archive.php or index.php - depending upon the theme.
