Okay, I didn’t have to go postal this time. Whew! If you read my last post you know that I was having a heck of a time getting my thumbnails to show up on the blog I was building with my new copy of the Studiopress Lifestyle 4.0 Theme.  I was ready to go back to 2.0!

Anyway, after I posted last night, I continued my search for the answer. I watched video after video teach me how to place thumbnails on my home page next to the excerpts of my posts.

Then, I found it. This videos’ narrator mentioned, in the most off-handed way, that there is some glitch in the Lifestyle 4.0 theme. That if you enter the entire URL of the image nothing will show up except a repeat of your post title.

That was exactly what had been happening to me. She said to just input the directory and file name where I had the file stored.

So, instead of entering;

http://www.yourdomain.com/images/thumbnail.jpg

you would enter;

/images/thumbnail.jpg

Well, I can’t tell you the relief I felt when I tried it and refreshed the blog.

So, if you’ve been having this same problem, try this trick.
