   Hi

   I am having problems overriding the default action of the_post_thumbnail(). I have looked around and everyone says this code will work:

   <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array( 'alt' => 'alttext', 'title' => 'titletext' )); ?>

   I get a thumbnail allright but the alt text and title text is from the original image, not 'alttext' and 'titletext' ...

   Has this been changed in WP 3+? I have no idea why this isn't working.

   It looks like it should be working to me. Do you have any filters running on the_post_thumbnail?

   Refer to the_post_thumbnail in the codex for more details.

   Thanks Chris

   The entirety of my theme's functions.php

   <?php
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       register_sidebar(array(
           'before_widget' => '<li>',
           'after_widget' => '</li>',
           'before_title' => '<div>',
           'after_title' => '</div>',
       ));
   if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {
     add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
   }
   ?>

   so no add_filter there. Must say I have never used filters before.
