Trying to get a thumbnail in post preview

[viveksweet 0]

Hey guys, I'm trying to get a thumbnail photo in the preview blog post. You know the little section before you open up the actual post.. is there a setting to turn this on or off? I can't figure this out Ben Theme: IblogPro

In Theme Options, go to Pages and Posts > Post Thumbnail Placement select Only on blog pages and search if you want the thumbnails to show up on the main blog page or All blog/post pages if you want the thumbnails to show up on the main blog page AND the individual posts.

Hey Catrina, Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately it doesn't do it. Let me just make sure you fully understand the problem. I'd like to see a small thumbnail photo that I put in a blog post that would show up on a blog page with all the entries lined up like on the demo page.. I put a small photo in the left upper corner of my blog post.. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks

Fixed it! I had to set the image as" featured image" that did the trick Ben

Hi Ben, Yes... that's how thumbnails work in PlatformPro (it's the default WP usage as well.) Glad you got it figured out!

Funny thing, The text in the blog post preview box is in Italic and when I open the post the Italic part is above the main text, like kinda double... Weird... Anyone?

Hey Ben, It sounds like you have both the "Full Content" and "Excerpt" set for the post. Please check "Settings->Blog and Posts".
