   I use this code on my home page to display the latest posts:
   

   <?php
   global $post;
   $tmp_post = $post;
   $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=1&category=1');
   foreach($myposts as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>
   • "><?php the_title(); ?>

   <?php endforeach; ?>
   <?php $post = $tmp_post; ?>

   <li class="latest_thumb">"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
   • "><?php the_title(); ?>

   <?php endforeach; ?>

   It shows right the permalink to the post but no image.
   My theme has the post thumbnail activated and works good on the posts page. I tried some methods, but I cannot pull the thumbnails. What do I need to add in the code from above?

   I really appreciate any help.

   Here is the proper code:
   

   <ul>
    <?php
    global $post;
    $tmp_post = $post;
    $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=1&category=1');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
      setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php $post = $tmp_post; ?>
    </ul>
   <ul>
   <li class="latest_thumb"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a></li>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   <ul>
   <?php endforeach; ?>

   Resolved. With default thumbnails, I forgot to attach thumbs for the posts in that category. The following code will generate the latest 5 posts from category with id=7. Will show up linked thumbnails and titles to each post:
   

   <?php
                    global $post;
                    $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&category=7');
                    foreach($myposts as $post) :
                    setup_postdata($post);
                    ?>
                        <ul class="latest clearfix">
                           <li class="latest_thumb">
   						<?php
   							if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
   								<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
   							<?php } else { ?>
   								<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory') ;?>/i/news-img.jpg" alt=" "/></a>
   							<?php }
   						?>
                           </li>
                           <li class="latest_text">
                               <span class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span>
                               <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                           </li>
                         </ul>
                    <?php endforeach; ?>
