    For obvious security reasons, timthumb.php blocks any external image URL, unless that URL is added into the list of white listed websites.

    If you look into the code of timthumb.php, you'll see an array containing white list URLS. Add picasaweb.google.com into the allowed white list.

    Open timthumb.php file and you'll see an array of allowed websites.

    Find the following code:

    // external domains that are allowed to be displayed on your website
    $allowedSites = array (
    	'flickr.com',
    	'picasa.com',
    	'blogger.com',
    	'wordpress.com',
    	'img.youtube.com',
    );

    Now append picasaweb.google.com like this:

    // external domains that are allowed to be displayed on your website
    $allowedSites = array (
    	'flickr.com',
    	'picasa.com',
    	'blogger.com',
    	'wordpress.com',
    	'img.youtube.com',
    	'picasaweb.google.com',
    );

    That's it.

    This is great but what if I modified the code to use the featured image of the post (starting from wp 2.9) instead of the custom field.. But it still doesnt work!

    Any help is appreciated..
    Thanks in advance :)
