    Hi everyone…
    I got my theme 2 years ago and have been customizing it since them. I like the look of my theme and right now I wouldnt like to get a new wordpress 3.1 compatible theme…That would mean a lot of customization work!
    So I need help with custom fields:
    In ordet to show thumbnail images in HomePage I have to introduce Key and Value in the custom fields. “Thumbnail” for one section and “hpbottom” for other section. I would like to change this in order to take advantage of the new “festured image” function.
    I have tested other themes where just by selecting the “featured image” option, the selected image automatic goes to the especific sections in Home page.
    How can I do this….
    Can anyone help me
    Thanks

    This would actually require a lot of work and isn’t as easy as it sounds. You would need to modify your theme files to point to featured image for both sections of your theme (which I believe is outdated by this point). You can integrate the post thumbnail (featured image) function in your theme by adding a function:
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

    BUT, this doesn’t necessarily mean it will replace both those images on your page, depends how your theme is calling them.
