   I have created a child theme of TwentyTen, and am trying to figure out how can have thumbnail images next to my blog posts? I want them to show on the excerpts, category archives, blog page, etc. I want it to look like the agentpress theme posts.

   I have tried copying the loop.php file into my child theme folder, and adding <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?> as recommended by other resources, but it doesn't work. I renamed the loop.php file to loop-index.php so as to not conflict with the twnetyten core file.

   Any help is appreciated.

   Do you see "set as featured image" link while uploading picture? If you do - have you tried it, if you don't see the link, then you need to add add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); to your functions.php and make sure you declared the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); before you call it in your theme

   and adding <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?> as recommended by other resources, but it doesn't work

   a:
   where exactly did you add this?
   (loop.php is quite a complex, large file)
   b:
   what is 'doesn't work' explained in useful terms?

   i would try to add it here in this section (around line 140 - this is about 40 lines from the end of the file):
   

   <div class="entry-content">
   				<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
   				<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
   			</div><!-- .entry-content -->

   I thought I clarified, sorry.

   Yes I do see a "add featured image" when writing a post. I have selected a featured image and nothing shows next to the post. I also placed the <? get_post_thumbnail tag to the loop.php file right above "the content" line specified by alchymyth with no avail. In the twentyten loop file there are a couple of the "the_content" areas, and I tried placing the tag to call the thumbnail in both spots, again nothing.

   When I say it didn't work. I mean that no image shows up next to the posts. Categories are no go, archives, etc.

   I am stuck, unless I am missing something... I hope this helps all who relied identify the issue I am having.

   I want them to show on the excerpts, category archives, blog page, etc.

   blog page - is that the front page with the 'featured' posts?

   on the excerpts, category archives - you would need to add the thumbnail code here:
   

   <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
   			<div class="entry-summary">
   				<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   			</div><!-- .entry-summary -->
   	<?php else : ?>

   (a few lines before the section i posted earlier)

   Aichymyth: I did try adding the "get_thumbnail" code here where you suggested as well, but for some odd reason I am not seeing my thumbnails appear. The featured posts on my front page are just the most recent 4 posts and this section of my blog just pulls images at random from a image folder on my server.

   I was under the impression a random image would only be used if I didn't choose a featured image fkr a Post. This is only codee for My front page lime this which is a Custom template. Do you think this is what is screwing up my olvide posts?

   I am stumped, cuz once I add the thumbnail code the image should appear right? Hope you can help, you have been great this far.

   Anything else that could be wrong? Should I show you any of my files for verification?

   OK I am really stumped... I have added the <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?> to my loop below in my TwentyTen Child Theme, however thumbnails only show on my blog page, and not in specific categories, or archived categories. Also, I want the thumbnail to show on the left side of the post so that there is a cleaner look. Can someone help me get this to work properly?

   <?php /* How to display all other posts. */ ?>

   <?php else : ?>
   <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
   <h2 class="entry-title">" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

   <div class="entry-meta">
   <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
   </div><!-- .entry-meta -->

   <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
   <div class="entry-summary">
   <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   </div><!-- .entry-summary -->
   <?php else : ?>
   <div class="entry-content">
   <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail' ); ?>

   <?php the_excerpt( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?>
   <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentyten' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
   </div><!-- .entry-content -->
   <?php endif; ?>

    Does nobody have a remedy for this? Is it something wrong with twentyten 1.2 theme? Blog Category excerpts and blog archive excerpts don't show a thumbnail. Now can I get them there?

    I had this problem as well. In twenty ten I had to add the code to the 'loop-single.php' page to get it to show. Hope that helps someone.
