As answered before on this forum:
The image shown is the first attached image to the post, not the image shown within a post. The widget does nothing with the post shown images, it just shows as thumbnail excerpt the first attached imaged. This is that way by design.
To fix it, upload as first image that one you want as excerpt thumbnail.
Sorry I must have missed that. I did have a quick search for this, though.
Does this mean, If I need to change the image for some reason, I’d have to re-port the article and upload the picture’s again with the one I want to show, being the first uploaded?
Don’t worry. The forum as so many posts and the titles not always suggest what is discussed on the topics.
By now is the only way, if you want to change the image, it have to be the first. What I didn’t check is if it enough if you change the images gallery order (using the post uploader).
It’s worth a shot, if you figure anything out please report back, would sure beat reposting my articles.
Any idea if this will be fixed or implemented in future?
Yes, I will change it now and will have it done in less than an hour.
The current behavior is to show the thumbnail from the first uploaded image.
The new behavior will be to show the first gallery image, taking into consideration the gallery order, so setting an image the first in order will make also it the excerpt thumbnail.
I think this could be good enough to let you choose wich image is shown as excerpt thumbnail. Isn’t it ?
You can follow it on my tracker at http://tracker.alkivia.org/view.php?id=165
This has been included in the development version and will be with the next release.

Great job.
Ok. Then I will release it this weekend as 2.3 if no more issues/features are found.

Is it possible to make image alignment an option?
I just can get the image visible.

Its the post below “casino guide”. Image is attatched to the post with a custom field, “image”.
I’m lost.
I also tried to get rid of the “read more” editing the PO-files, but the changes did not show up?
