# [Plugin: WordPress Popular Posts] Thumbnails not working

 * The script TimThumb is used to display thumbnails (cropping, scale pictures…)
 * When the picture is called by TimThumb, you have to use the absolute path (example:/
   wp-content/images/your_picture.jpg)
 * BUT, WordPress-popular-posts call the picture with [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com),
   which made TimThumb not showing any picture.
 * To resolve that, I replaced
 * `$img[1]`
 * by
 * `parse_url($img[1], PHP_URL_PATH)`
 * Works fine now!

 * Hi jeantil,
 * Problem is that not everyone installs WordPress in the root of the domain name(
   eg. [http://www.somesite.com/blog](http://www.somesite.com/blog)), therefore 
   using “/wp-content/images/your_picture.jpg” can be problematic. That is why I
   decided to use “full” paths instead.
 * Anyways, I’ll test your hack and include it in the next release if it works on
   blogs installed on subfolders.
 * Thank you for letting me know about this!
