   Hi,
   I'm trying to create a parent page displaying only thumbnails of child pages.
   So far I have managed to create a list of pages but I can't figure out how to:
   1. add thumbnails to pages without displaying it on the actual page
   2. Go from displaying a list to displaying only thumbnails (no titles or excerpts, just images)

   Here is what I have on my parent page template:

   <blockquote><div id="entry">
   <?php the_content(); ?>

   <?php
   $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
   if ($children) { ?>
   <ul class="pagelist">
   <?php echo $children; ?>

   <?php } ?>

   </div></blockquote>

   I have searched on the forums but since I'm new to wp I would really appreciate some extra help.

   Thanks!

   You need to look into setting up Post Thumbnails for your theme (http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails) and check the Featured Image check box from the Screen Options dropdown for your pages. Once that is enabled you can set your featured image: Set featured image -> Upload image -> Click Use as featured image in popup window -> Save all changes and close the popup

   Once you have that enabled you'll have to setup a custom WP_Query (http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query) and then use the_post_thumbnail (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail) within your template file to display the image.
