 * any chance you can add a setting for the thumbnail to use. E.g. line 89 of thumbnailer.
   php:
 * $img = wp_get_attachment_image($image_id, ‘thumbnail’);
 * Can you make ‘thumbnail’ a setting so it can be changed to something specified
   in the theme?

 * I have to keep overriding you thumbnailer.php (line 59 and 193) and putting in
   my own custom thumbnail defined in my functions.php.

 * Ugh sorry. Missed this one!
    Why not just use the default setting in our plugin
   settings?

 * The default setting? From what I can see on line 59 and 193 you use the default
   thumbnail which is 150×150. In my site i need 212 x 150,

 * The plugin has the thumbnail as 150 by 150. I changed to 66×44 still showing 
   as 150×150. 66×44 is the dimensions for the thumbail set on my blog. How do I
   do this? I don’t see why it says 150×150 and when you change it, it does nothing.

 * Hey guys, big sorry for being silent on this matter for so long, first we tried
   to find a solution for this, then it somehow slipped our radars and that is the
   reason for this long long silence. I know, there really shouldn’t be any excuses,
   but we are sorry nonetheless.
 * As for that thumbnails problem — for the time being, we cannot help you out. 
   As it seems, this issue is just out of our reach, although we will have it in
   mind with our future updates. This is the only promise we are able ti give you
   right now.
 * Once again — sorry for the late, late answer and for this bad news, but I’m sure
   will improve through time. Thanks for your understanding!
 * Take care & have a nice day!
 * Best,
    Silvo

 * Has this been fixed in the latest version (2.7) so that we can have whatever 
   size we require for the thumbnail?

 * Hey!
 * Well, no, this isn’t possible yet, but you should be able to set a custom thumbnail
   size if you follow these steps below. Let me know if this works for you or not,
   we’ll do our best to help you out!
 * First, go to your WordPress’s Dashboard under the tab _‘Settings’-‘Media’_ and
   change the size of your thumbnails to your preferred size (300×300).
 * After that, go to you plugin settings and add the following code into the _‘Customize
   CSS’_ drop-down menu (remember to keep the values [300×300] the same):
 *     ```
       .related_post_title {
       }
       ul.related_post {
       }
       ul.related_post li {
       width: 300px !important;
       height: 300px !important;
       }
       ul.related_post li a {
       }
       ul.related_post li img {
       width: 300px !important;
       height: 300px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Don’t forget to click on the _‘Save’_ button at the bottom of the page, before
   moving on. 🙂
 * The last step is to install the _Regenerate Thumbnails_ plugin, which you can
   find over here: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
 * Install it, activate it and hit the _Regenerate!_ button for the finish.
 * Let me know how it goes or if you need any kind of assistance — I’m here to help!
 * Take care & have a nice day!
 * Best,
    Silvo

 * Hi,
 * It hasn’t worked unfortunately and I think I am experiencing the same issue as
   per this post – [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-problem-not-showing-anything](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbnail-problem-not-showing-anything).
 * The problem seems to be that your plugin generates thumbnails in /uploads/{current_year}/{
   current_month} folder instead of the folder where the image was originally uploaded.
 * Your generated thumbnail is usually in the format of {image}1.jpg etc.

 * The thing is, we are still working on it and expect this issue to be fixed sometime

   we wish for.
