My Bad. Not having used it for a long time I forgot it is only accessible from the Add Media button in the editor, not from the Media Library dashboard menu item or the Add Featured Image part of the editor.

So my apologies!

Have tried it as is above and it is still not working. Will have to move away from this issue for now as time dictates.

The problem I have to move onto still relates to your plugin however Josh so hopefully you will be able to put me in the best direction regarding Filtering on Taxonomies and is covered in separate post!

In case anyone else has similar problems my workaround was to rely on CSS If it helps anyone then:

added this to CSS

div.pod-database-entry{
    white-space:nowrap;
    overflow:hidden;
	text-overflow: ellipsis;
	-o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
	width: 100%;
}

div.pod-database-entry  img{
width:32px;
height:32px;
margin-right:10px;
vertical-align: middle !important;
}

div.pod-database-entry  a{
vertical-align: middle !important;
}

and this was in the custom template fro the widget:

<div class="pod-database-entry" ><a href="{@permalink}"><img src={@post_thumbnail_url} />{@name}
</a></div>

thumbnail tried also calling it image and then after this prompt changed it to more likely unique podimg but the results were the same in all instances.

so this is what I am getting:
<img src={@post_thumbnail_url.32x32} />
is returning the featured image seemingly limited by the size of the containing div and or section, that is, it is not scaling.
<img src={@thumbnail_url.32x32} />
returns src=http://adventurebod.com/ (incomplete of course) as does .thumbnail as per your last suggestion, and indeed just plain @thumbnail

The above related to Custom Post Type I have now tried it with Advanced Content Type specifying a thumbnail field and I uploaded a file for it through the pod mechanism.
In custom template on the widget I have

<a href="{@permalink}">{@name}</a>
{@thumbnail}

And the output is a string filespec for the jpg.

Additionally the permalink is not going to the correct url. I have the widget employed in a category page and it is trying to route me to http://adventurebod.com/activities/horseriding-holidays-in-the-high-atlas.

permalink is working on the Custom Post Type.

its not a production site! simply for test purposes.

Sorry it has taken a long time to revisit this problem. I had left it installed but the thing was churning away on feed-to-post mode as drafts. I was expecting I would have to remove it altogether as I have never had the time to get to the bottom of the problem. And frankly still have not .
However to my surprise all issues reported about links being taken from other posts, and making an unusable mess of the whole thing have mysteriously evaporated.

To my recall the only thing altered in this time was the WP release. But its possible there was a plugin upgraded that I don’t recall. So not really a definitive answer but at least as far as I am concerned the product is usable again.

So sorry for the grief this question might have posed in that I never really was able to deliver on isolating the cause.

All the best,
