GK News Show Pro: Top Stories

I cannot get the Widget to show thumbnails. tried existing posts and a new one.

When using the "Featured image" metabox and choosing an image from the Media library, i get the message "Could not set that as the thumbnail image. Try a different attachment."

This happens both with the quickstart and a custom install. Just as a side info- I haven't changed the quickstart settings GK NSP.

Hi,

You can set the featured image in other wordpress installation on your website? If not it can be a server configuration-related problem.

That's the problem - when I set the featured image I get this message: "Could not set that as the thumbnail image. Try a different attachment."

As a result, a thumbnail (*-widget_gk_nsp-2.jpeg) is not created in "GameNews\gavern\cache_nsp" directory, and the home page does not display the thumbnails.

The link to the thumbnail is:

<img src="http://domain.com/game/wp-content/themes/GameNews" alt="" class="gk-nsp-image gk-responsive" style="margin: 0 0 12px;" />

instead of

<img src="http://www.netometer.com/game/wp-content/themes/GameNews/gavern/cache_nsp/action2-widget_gk_nsp-2.jpeg" alt="" class="gk-nsp-image gk-responsive" style="margin: 0 0 12px;" />

Tried 3 different servers (CentOS - both 5.8 x86_64 and i686, minimal vanilla install, full 777 access to the WP directory and to the WP DB) and its the same situation. These are test servers, and I can provide access to them or wipe them out.

Are there any specific requirements for this template?

Please send me an access to your FTP and back-end - I've to check it by yourself to detect a reason of your problem, because at our test installation this feature is working fine.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I've sent a PM to Dziudek.

As I see it is possible to set the test 150x150 image as a featured image but WordPress cannot resize it - it is probably caused by fact that you can have no installed the php GD library which is used to create the thumbnails.

Thank you, Dziudek.

Installing GD, fixed my problem.

PS: For those, having this issue:
1. A quick check with:
yum list installed php*
2. And if GD is not installed:
yum install gd gd-devel php-gd
