I’m using a custom theme. Each photo is not a small thumbnail but full size.
Photo Width is fixed 500px, Height is variable.
What exactly do I put in the loop for this to work?
thanks
Can you put the content of your theme’s index.php in the http://wordpress.pastebin.com/ and give a link back to it here.
With post thumbnails you can have many different sizes. see add image size A post thumbnail isn’t necessarily a thumbnail. You can also show the large size.

If you know a good theme for doing what I need I’m open to suggestions.
thanks for your help kees
Put 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( 'large_photos', 500, 9999 ); //500 pixels wide (and unlimited height)
}
Now you can insert a post thumbnail when you edit or create a post
and use this as your index: http://wordpress.pastebin.com/TJCfh0GJ
Can you put single.php also in the pastebin so we can show the photo also there but without the link.
here is the single.php http://wordpress.pastebin.com/cmNM61iS
thanks and how do you add a thumbnail to the post is it different then just inserting a photo to the post?
No, you can insert as normal but now next to “Insert into Post” you can click a link “Use as featured image”. There is also a new sidebar panel called “Features Image” when you edit or create a post.
