resolvedI've recently upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress and installed the WPTouch plugin (which is fantastic thanks), my one issue is surrounding the image thumbnails for the articles.
I've selected the option to have them displayed and yet our site (filmshaft.com) is still showing calendar dates? Could somebody give me a few pointers?
Are you using the WP 2.9+ method of Post Thumbnails? Have you tried enabling Restricted Mode in the WPtouch admin settings?
I'm using WP 2.9, I wasn't aware there was a "method" though. Is there a custom field we should be adding to our articles? I've tried restricted mode but it made no difference.
Also I'm not sure whether to start a new thread for this, but our google ads aren't showing up. I've adding our publisher ID but we're just getting blank boxes
What device are you looking at it in? The ads only show on iPhones/iPods, and that's because of something of Google's side that only shows it on those devices.
This post details the new Thumbnails in WP 2.9+. We add the code so that you can apply a thumbnail on a post's edit page. Look for the option box on the right side hand of the post options at the bottom.
Thanks for your help on the images, I've added the code to functions.php but I've no idea how to add the last piece "in the loop", where do I put it?
Unless you want the thumbnails to show up in your desktop theme, you don't need to modify the Loop. If you do, then you'll have to. WPtouch already has support in its loop.
To add support on your desktop theme, add this inside the loop (which means after <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>):
<?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) { ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php } ?>I don't want thumbs to show up in our desktop theme, we already have them set up. I tried the code from the link you provided to get them to show on the mobile theme though and they weren't showing up. Does it have to go anywhere specific in the functions.php file?
Thanks
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); goes in your functions.php file
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> goes wherever you want the thumb to appear in your theme's index.php file
So if I understand correctly, I do not need to add any code at all in order for thumbnails to show on the front page of our mobile theme? If that is the case, they still aren't showing. I'm viewing using a Nokia n97 mini (Symbian), do the thumbs only show using iPhone or should I also be seeing them?
No, you don't need to add any code, but you do need to specify a thumbnail for each post. You can do that in the WordPress 2.9+ post edit page. On the lower right side you'll see the edit box for assigning a thumbnail to the post. Alternatively you can use a custom field entitled 'thumbnail' with the value being the URL to the image.
The "Calendar Icon" is still showing up next to each post on the homepage. I have changed the setting to "Post Thumbnail" and I've assigned thumbnails to the post, that show up where they're supposed to in the Post Editor WP 2.9 page.
I also set the settings to "Restricted Mode" - still no dice.
If I open the page in Safari using the iPhone user-agent, it shows the Div with class of "Calendar" - so it's not like the thumbnail is there, but hidden.
Hi,
I have read everything above and have the latest version of wordpress and wptouch installed, and still i can't get thumbnails to appear on the blog on the latest iphone.
It's my website which is http://www.rocketpowered.co.uk and on the iphone, if you click on Read our Hot News Blog >> you'll see what I mean.
Cherers for your help.

Hello,
i have same problem for my blog : http://www.assiettesetgourmandises.com
- latest version of wordpress
- latest version of WPtouch
- thumbnail appear on desktop theme !
- enabling Restricted Mode
thank for your help
RESOLVED!?
I had the same problem. However, in my case, the resolution was deactivating the plugin WP Security Scan.
- latest version of wordpress (2.9.2)
- version of WPTouch (1.9.7.7) and tested (1.9.13)
- WP Security Scan (2.7.1.2)
Now to troubleshoot the cause.
I've also solve the problem by deactivating wp security scan, but the images just show on the home page and not in category section. Is it normal (do we have to add the code to display them) or is it a bug ?
By the way, great plugin, good work
I would also be curious on how to add the post thumbnails to categories as well
First off, this is great work. Thanks for the time invested.
I'm looking to add the post thumbnails to categories too, suggestions?
If anyone's interested, i fixed my issue or rather changed plan. It doesn't work in the 1x series... so, i purchased the 2.0 pro... and it works so, its worth upgrading.
You can see how i use it here
you'll understand why i NEEDED icons in the categories, and grab the freebie while your had it :)
Yes WPtouch Pro supports post thumbnails fully in all views, and we're adding options for showing thumbs on single post and pages as well.
