 * Still having issues with this. I contacted my host and this was the message I
   got back:

 * Thanks for the reply!
 * I know about the thumbnails, but is their a name for the featured thing? I guess
   it’s just a featured thumbnail header. I’ve also heard it called a featured thumbnail
   carousel, but some people say that the thumbnails have to rotate for it to be
   a carousel.
 * The main thing I want is for the post titles to be displayed over top the thumbnails
   and have some sort of hover effect like at the tippy top of Engadget.com
 * Thanks.

 * Just tried reuploading fresh wp-includes and wp-admin folders, but it just made
   it worse. Whenever I’d try to make a new post or edit a draft all of the buttons
   looked like a bunch of scribbled pixels, so I just went back to the old wp-admin
   and wp-includes folders.

 * Switched to the default theme and the problem persists. A new problem I just 
   noticed is that the upload images button is gone from the Flash uploader completely
   now since this morning.

 * Tried deactivating all plugins and resetting the plugin folder. Happens with 
   all images. Tried re-uploading a fresh swfupload folder in the /wp-includes/js/
   directory, but it didn’t work either.

 * Just got off the phone with my web host and they said the permissions looked 
   fine, but they couldn’t locate the error. They even tracked the error log live
   while I tried uploading an image and couldn’t see anything.
 * So weird. As soon as the image upload gets to 100% and says “crunching” the wordpress
   login screen pops up inside the little image uploading box.
 * Even weirder still is the fact that the new author that I added has no trouble
   uploading images at all.
 * The browser uploader works fine, but I have a few image-heavy posts that I need
   to go up and uploading one by on is a bit of a pain, but I guess I can manage
   although I’d really like to sort the problem out.

 * Thanks. I’ll try that.
 * Just so it never happens again, any clue what could have caused this strange 
   error? Could it really have been caused just by adding a new editor to the site?
   Or was it probably something else?

 * Thanks so much for the suggestions and quick responses!
 * Tried all the above advice and I’m already running the latest version, but I’m
   not sure what that 755 recursive permissions stuff means. Sorry.
 * Any help would be great. This site is sort of my livelihood at the moment and
   I really hope to find a way to fix this, but I don’t have much technical knowledge
   when it comes to these things.

 * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-put-post-title-inside-header-image/#post-1366700)
 * Okay, so I have something sort of like this in my loop:
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('ports_per_page=1&category_name=FEATURED'); if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       <div class="lead-image-wrapper">
       <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       <?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, "lead_image", true); ?>
       <img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" />
       </div>
       <div class="entry">
       <?php the_content('READ MORE'); ?>
       </div>
       <p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></p>
       </div>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * Not sure if it works yet and I highly doubt it will. Anybody see anything that
   maybe I’m missing so I can add it before I test it out?
 * Thanks.

   style. Sorry, I’m really terrible at this stuff.

 * Thanks vangrog, but I was looking for something for the sidebar that lists small
   square thumbnails in a row instead of in a rotating gallery.
 * Like this:
 * Thumbnail: Excerpt
    Thumbnail: Excerpt Thumbnail: Excerpt
 * …and so on
 * The Grungezine theme does this elegantly, but I’ve outgrown that theme. I just
   wish I could figure out how to do this one little trick.

 * I tried sticking it at the very top of the functions page, so before. Then I 
   also tried pasting it at the very bottom and got an error again.
