Title: Incorrect thumbnails displayed Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Incorrect thumbnails displayed * [barrowr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barrowr/) * (@barrowr) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/) * Hi * I seem to be having a problem a few other people seem to be having. I am getting the plugin’s default images showing instead of the posts own thumbnail when showing the related posts. * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-23-related-posts-plugin/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-23-related-posts-plugin/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [barrowr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barrowr/) * (@barrowr) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/#post-4299713) * Also, using the plugin Related Posts by Zemanta seems to break my site so I can’t use that as an alternative. * Thanks * [silvoslaf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silvoslaf/) * (@silvoslaf) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/#post-4299947) * Hey, thanks for reaching out! * I would gladly help you out, but I would really need a bit more info to start with, to be honest — is there a chance you could send me the link to the blog in question? * I’d love to take a closer look at it, if possible.

They all go generic. I’ve yet to see a fix for this. * [gadgetgaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gadgetgaz/) * (@gadgetgaz) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/#post-4300023) * Hi silvoslaf, I have the same problem.

I strongly suggest you update the plugin on your blog and give it a try. * Looking forward to hearing from you, Mateja * Thread Starter [barrowr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barrowr/) * (@barrowr) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/#post-4300032) * Hi Mateja, * Just updated the plugin, no luck I’m afraid. * Rob * [Mateja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sparkica/) * (@sparkica) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/#post-4300033) * Hi, * I think I figured out what is going on, but let me ask you a few questions first… * 1. Where do you get images that appear after the post title? Do you use some special plugin to generate thumbnails for featured images on the front page? * From what I can see they’re thumbnails loaded from _temporary_ folder `wp-content/ uploads/et_temp/` and don’t have the same attributes set as other images in your post and hence we cannot figure out which was the original image nor find the thumbnail of the original image. * 2. Were these images added later to existing posts? * For example, [this post](http://www.aroadretraveled.com/food-lovers-tour-florence-florentine-steak-dessert/) has related-post thumbnail, but it was not generated from the first image in the post, but the second one. That made me think you added the first image later. * There are two things you can do right now: - Remove first (problematic) image from posts without thumbnail, update the post, let our plugin generate the related post thumbnail from other image, that was added to the post through Media Library. Afterwards you can add the( problematic) image back. - Upload thumbnail images that were generated for featured posts to Media Library and add them to your post through the Library, this way our plugin will be able to get attachment id and find/generate proper related post thumbnail. * I know it’s not perfect solution, but it might work until we figure out how to deal with this rather specific issue. * Best, Mateja * [PetraP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petrap/) * (@petrap) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/#post-4300039) * Hey, * hope you don’t mind, we’ll mark this topic as resolved as there was no response from original author for more than a month. * If you find yourself with any other questions or if there’s anything that’s not completely clear, do let us know! * Best, Petra * Thread Starter [barrowr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barrowr/) * (@barrowr) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-thumbnails-displayed/#post-4300040) * Hi Petra, * I meant to update this posting.
