 * I add add_image_size( ‘mysize’, 300, 250, true ); to my function.php and call
   the_post_thumbnail(‘mysize’); in my loop.php. After that I uploaded featured 
   images to my posts, yet no image appears when I visit the site.

 * Is something like this in your functions.php?
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {
       	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
               set_post_thumbnail_size( 150, 150 ); // default Post Thumbnail dimensions
       }
   
       if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) {
       	add_image_size( 'mysize', 300, 250, true );
       }
       ```
   
 * Do you have something like this **inside the loop** in your theme’s template 
   files?
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
         the_post_thumbnail('mysize');
       }
       ?>
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Did you put that in the right template file? What file did you put it in?
 * Can you put the full content of the template file you are using to show the thumbnails
   in the [pastebin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-image-doesnt-appear/wordpress pastebin?output_format=md)
   and link back to it here

 * Yes I did these things in the right places but without if() statements and now
   it works !!
 * I don’t understand why it did not work though. The if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’))
   is true because this function exists in my twentyten default theme. Same with
   the if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) statement.
 * If these if() statements are true anyway, my code should work without them isn’it?
   Yet it doesn’t o_O

 * Actually it does. Thanks for your help and I advise myself to stop drinking so
   much orange juice.
