    Could you be a little more specific or post a link to a page that demonstrates the problem? There are more than 1000 themes in the WordPress Themes directory and most people aren't familiar with every one of them

    Sure!

    Look, my website is http://www.tsuperb.com

    you can see as soon as you hit enter and home appears that the image thumbnails are not showing!

    http://www.mbradyclark.com/ this guy uses the same wordpress theme (fullscreen) and his website is working correctly.

    Please note that i have tried almost everything, i followed the theme instructions, and even deleted completely the theme, and installed it again and its still not working.

    This is the only thing that i couldn't do: "Change the permissions (aka CHMOD) to the /cache/ folder to 777. This folder is used to store your custom post thumbnails (more on this later)."

    That is written in the instructions but they don't explain anymore about it...

    Looks like you have two simultaneous problems.

    Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file ./cache/f3edbde023dcfc9f8b6ed6e3461523ce.jpg because Permission denied in /home/tsuperbc/public_html/wp-content/themes/fullscreen/timthumb.php on line 150

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tsuperbc/public_html/wp-content/themes/fullscreen/timthumb.php:150) in /home/tsuperbc/public_html/wp-content/themes/fullscreen/timthumb.php on line 160

    1. You need to make the cache folder for timthumb writable.

    2. There apears to be a problem with timthumb.php and/or your theme.

    Hi

    I tried to do what you are saying, i changed the permissions on idex.php and wp-content, but nothing seems to be fixed...and also what is that "header" error that you are talking about? when i go to my website there's no header error, the only problem is that the thumbnails are not showing!

    Please it would be great if you could tell me step by step on how to solve the thumbnails problem, i am no web designer, and i am struggling to get this fixed!

    Thank you!

    I suggested making timthumb's cache folder writable. I didn't mention anything about changing any file permissions. However, I see that you seem to have got the images working on your home page now. How did you resolve it?

    I read the links that you posted, and i started changing some file permissions... there is no timthumb's cache folder. I change the permissions of a cache folder and it started working but i also changed other permissions and now i don't know if everyone could edit my web files...how do i know?

    Was that cache folder in your root domain? Re-reading the error message, that would seem to be the right one. What other permissions did you change?

    yes, i enter my domain and change the permissions for the cache forlder inside of wp-content/themes/fullscreen

    what is that error message that you are getting?

    I was referring to the original error messages I saw when I did a little investigating on your site.

    tsuperb, I am experiencing the same problems as you with the fullscreen theme. I did what you suggested above and still do not see my thumbnails below the center bar.

    I have been working on this for two days now and it is driving me crazy!!

    Looking at my source coding, it is generating the top thumb nails, but the bottom thumbnails are not being generated. I checked the image size of the cache files and they are 320x320.

    It appears that Timthumb is not generating the smaller images.

    I figured it out!!!
    In home.php, bottom thumbs section you will find this line:
    <?php $home_query_bottom = new WP_Query("cat=&showposts=20&offset=5"); $b = 0; ?>

    Get rid of the 20&offset update and it will populate the bottom thumbnails.

    hi Philips, thanks for your feedback, still unable to show the thumbnail after rid off the 20&offset. Anyway I saw in image properties, the timthumb size and image dimension was different also the size on file unknown (Not Cached) , i thought it was the main problems, but i can't define how to fix it. Pls see below for my page screen problem:

    nice person awaited...

    link from the images:

    the result is:

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /wp-content/themes/fullscreen/timthumb.php on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Hello,

    I am experiencing the same problem as many of you (TSUPERB and FAHMYZONE), in that I am not able to get my thumbnails to show up on my Graphpaper Press Fulscreen theme.

    I uploaded the theme, activated it, and followed the instructions manual contained within the site files.

    Things I have attempted to do in order to solve the problem:
    -changed permissions to 777 in my cache folder inside of wp-content/themes/fullscreen.
    -Changed permissions in the entire fulscreen folder to 777
    -Attempted using a thumbnail regenerating plugin

    Nothing has worked thus far! I have been trying for several days, but I can't seem to get it to work. I can poke around in the CSS if I am directed where to go, but right now I know very little about it.

    Can anyone who is savvy (ESMI, TSUPERB) help me out?

    Ultimately I would like to create a portfolio site like these:
    http://www.mbradyclark.com/ (Permanent links for the thumbnails)
    http://www.tsuperb.com/

    Here is a link to my site: http://britthultgren.org/

    Thank you so much for the help!

    Britt

    Hi Britt,
    At least you managed to get the top thumbnails to work;)
    I still can't do it. Did you do something for it to happen?
    thanks,
    Arthur

    for the cache permission problem just create a cache directory in your theme folder then chmod to 777.

    Then for problems with "header already sent" edit timthumb.php and just remove the ?> at the end.

    I noticed that the theme didnt include timthumb.php. so goto http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/04/02/timthumb-php-script-released/ and download the timthumb.php and put it in the root of the theme.

    All done!

    Ok, i've got this. Everything is very, very simple. For every post you have to chose one picture to display. How to do that? Just go and edit your post, then, under "Publish" find "Set featured image". Your all images will appear. Then you have to chose one, go under "Media Library", pick one image and click "Show" then on the right side of "Insert image", there will be "Use as featured image" just pick that then update your post and picture will appear ;)

    Regarding FULLSCREEN theme by GraphPaperPress

    for all of the people here who still have problem about getting the bottom thumb picture to show, here is the solution I used and worked.

    go to home.php
    at line 21 (or somewhere close)
    you will see this before you do any change:
    "cat=1&showposts=20&offset=5"
    then,
    please change it to something like this:
    "cat=1&showposts=64"

    cat=1 is the id 1 category that I want it to poll the images from.
    64 is how many bottom thumb nails I want to see (do the math that work with your thumb nail size and the page size, which is all under the instruction html in the package).

    Upload the file again, make sure you have thumb nails to show under the assigned category. done!!

    It should definitely worked, it works for mine.

    I'm having this same problem. Nothing I've done has fixed it or allowed the theme to take images from my media library to use as thumbnails on the main page. (The theme and graph paper press' site says it should.)

    What gives?

    zellerpress.com is my site.
