. disregard this post

so I gave up on the shorter, elegant code that doesn’t work and used the longer, ham-fisted but functional method from my previous themes

function slide_image($postid=0, $size='thumbnail') {
if ($postid<1) $postid = get_the_ID();
if ($images = get_children(array(
'post_parent' => $postid,
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'numberposts' => 1,
'post_mime_type' => 'image',
'order_by' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC')))

foreach($images as $image) {
$attachment=wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, $size);
?><img src="<?php echo $attachment[0]; ?>" class="slidimg" /><?php

} else {
?>
<img class="slidimg" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/dummy.jpg" />
<?php
};
}

now my question is how do I tell it which image to use? When you upload an image with a theme that has a custom size for a window or accordion on the index page, it’ll upload a thumbnail, a small, a medium, a large, a full, and a custom version of the image to the Uploads folder.

example: Uploading test.jpg results in multiple files

test.jpg
test-150×150.jpg
test-200×150.jpg
test-300×225.jpg
test-621×250.jpg

Right now, as you can see, I’m calling the thumbnail version – because I don’t know what the -621×250 version would be called.

didn’t work.

No matter what theme I use, unless I put in a custom script they can never sem to find my damned thumbnails. The image will show in the article just fine… but no thumbnail

I just tried again with a fresh install of wordpress on a brand new domain. Same problem.

Does ‘has_post_thumbnail()’ fail if the folder is named something other than ‘wordpress’?

Problem was a log file making the host disk appear full somehow. Fixed at server level.
