 * Hello, I’m new to W.Press and have read various threads on this topic, but can
   not find the solution.
 * I write a post, add a “feature image” and then “Scale” it and no matter what 
   I do it always shows up on my website as an over-sized image not fitting properly
   within the thumbnail…
 * PLEASE, PLEASE help, I would be so grateful.
 * Thank You for your time.

 * Have you asked the developers of the theme?
 * Or if you mean that the images is getting cropped , you could try a plugin

 * I did contact them, to no avail.
 * Also, How do I post horizontally instead of vertically, my theme is 4 column 
   and I want 3 posts per row.

 * You’ll have to ask the developers of the theme – we have no access to or ability
   to support commercial themes here, sorry.

 * If they aren’t being helpful, perhaps you should consider using a theme that 
   we can help with – which would be themes here:

 * This is what it says to do in the theme user guide ” Check the video below to
   see how to add featured images to posts. Theme uses timthumb script to generate
   thumbnail images. Make sure your host has PHP5 and GD library enabled. You will
   also need to set the CHMOD value for the “cache” folder within the theme to “
   777” or “755”
 * Where is the cache folder?

 * Evidently in the theme according to what you copied above. This may be helpful
   on file permissions –

 * You’ve been a great person to help me WPyogi. I switched themes and every feature
   image is just perfect.
 * My new question is… at my site [http://www.guyearth.com](http://www.guyearth.com)
 * I included a “sidebar” under “widgets” … Why is the “sidebar” below and not on
   the right side vertically like the theme said it would?
