Topic: Video showing how to add thumbnails with Arras 1.4+

There have been a lot of question about how to add post thumbnails to Arras post, so I've decided to make a simple screencast of how simple it is. I hope that Arras users find it helpful.

Is there a box called 'featured image'? If yes, that's the name now.

My Arras themed & Arras related site: NullCore.
Please ask questions about Arras on forum, not through mail, thanks.

Please, try again. I had to deactivate the vide plugin for some work and when I re-activated it, it lost some of its settings.

Please, make sure that the images are actually making it onto your server and that they end up where you expect them to. I tried accessing the image from your example post directly and it doesn't seem to be there (I got a 404 error when accessing the URL directly).

the feature is different then the thumbnail. If not, it should be. the feature shows very large, but I just want the section page to have a thumbnail, and not inside the article twice.

Hi i have a problem with thumbnails,

i need add a post with rss file, with this method the post is added correctly but the thumbnails don't show in my homepage, the image files are on server and i can see that in the library wordpress, i try to add the tag thumb with the URL but don't work.

if i do the normal process to add a post with a image the thumb is correct show in my home, but with import rss feed nothing

i think that i must modify some part of theme code.

my site is www.freecmstemplate.com

thanks FAbio

Ernest,

Sorry about the problem with the video - the video plugin that I am using on my site keeps resetting the player options on every update. I've fixed it
