 * Hi WordPressers,
 * I am hoping you can help.
 * When I have created a page before today, an entry is made in the wp_posts table
   that has the post_type “attachment” which indicates the Media that is attached
   to it.
    The theme then uses this record to create timthumb.php images to represent
   the page visually, which is great.
 * However for some reason it stopped doing that with one of my pages, and I can’t
   see why. I have deleted the page and started again, but it is the same issue.
 * Any thoughts on how I could fix this?
 * Theme “fotofolio”
    WP v3.1
 * Thanks
 * C
