Miniaturki wpisów stają się coraz bardziej popularne każdego dnia. Wiele motywów czasopism kojarzy obrazek z konkretnym wpisem, który następnie wyświetla na stronie głównej lub na stronie wpisu. Wyświetlamy miniaturkę z naszymi wpisami zarówno na stronie wpisu, jak i na stronie kategorii. W starszych wersjach ta funkcjonalność była uzyskiwana za pomocą metody custom-field, która nie była zbyt przyjazna dla użytkownika. Dzięki WordPress Core Developers wraz z wieloma godnymi uwagi funkcjami w WordPress 2.9, funkcja ta została również dodana do rdzeni.
Wystarczy obejrzeć film lub przeczytać poniższy poradnik 
Film
Przewodnik dla początkujących
Zobaczysz taką opcję na pasku bocznym panelu pisania wpisów w kokpicie WordPressa.
Kliknij odnośnik, a zostaniesz przeniesiony na stronę przesyłania obrazka. Prześlij obraz, a zobaczysz coś takiego:
Wystarczy kliknąć odnośnik z napisem użyj jako miniaturki. Gdy to zrobisz, zobaczysz taki ekran:
Powyższy ekran oznacza, że skończyłeś. Po prostu kliknij opublikuj, a obrazek pojawi się na twojej witrynie.
Przewodnik programisty
Mimo że ta funkcja została dodana do rdzeni, nie każdy użytkownik zobaczy tę opcję w panelu bocznym swojego wpisu. Jest to jedna z tych funkcji, które można włączać tylko wtedy, gdy motyw je obsługuje. Starsze darmowe motywy mogą jej nie obsługiwać, więc musisz poprosić dewelopera o aktualizację lub możesz to zrobić samodzielnie, postępując zgodnie z tym poradnikiem.
Najpierw musisz otworzyć plik functions. php w twoim katalogu motywów i wkleić następujący kod:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
.
Ten kod włączy obsługę motywu zarówno dla wpisów, jak i stron. Teraz będziesz mógł zobaczyć opcję w twoim kokpicie. Ale nie będzie ona wyświetlana w twoim motywie, ponieważ nie dodaliśmy jeszcze kodu do motywu.
Możesz wyświetlić miniaturkę w dowolnym miejscu wewnątrz pętli za pomocą tego kodu:
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
.
To była podstawowa funkcja, ale jeśli chcesz uzyskać bardziej zaawansowane, takie jak określenie rozmiaru miniaturki wpisu, wystarczy otworzyć twój plik functions.php i wkleić kod w ten sposób:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true );
.
Wymiary są ustawiane w następującej kolejności: szerokość x wysokość i są to piksele.
Możesz również dodać dodatkowe rozmiary obrazka wyróżniającego, dodając tę linię:
add_image_size( 'single-post-thumbnail', 590, 180 ); // Permalink thumbnail size
.
Możesz później wywołać określone rozmiary miniaturek w pętli twojego wpisu w następujący sposób:
<?php the_post_thumbnail('single-post-thumbnail'); ?>
.
Jest to skrócona wersja pełnej funkcjonalności tej funkcji. Staraliśmy się zachować prostotę, aby każdy mógł z niej skorzystać. Jeśli chcesz uzyskać więcej informacji na temat tej funkcji, sprawdź:

No this is not necessary with Genesis themes.

Hi,
In my theme there is no loop.php, then where i need to edit?
Thanks in advance

The loop can be in your index.php, single.php, archive.php, and other files.

So… I tried this and I think I broke my site. I now get this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '”’ in /home/content/21/10729521/html/wp-content/themes/desk-mess-mirrored/functions.php on line 642
and can’t get into my dashboard. I’m new to self-hosting and I have no idea how to fix this. HELP!

Great tutorial!
Quick question:
You said If you don’t see „use as thumbnail” you may have to go inside the PHP because the theme is an older theme.
Where would I look in the new WordPress layout to see if „use as thumbnail” is featured in my theme?
Here’s an image to help explain what I mean by „new WordPress layout”.
http://thereselawlor303.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/newpost5.jpg?w=1024&h=621
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks!
Editorial Staff
If you can see the featured image being shown next to your title on your site, then your theme has support for the thumbnails.
Administrator
Nik
Gotcha. Thanks!
Drew
Hi,
Thanks for this post it totally helped me out!
Question, now how would I also show the featured image (in a different size) within the actual post only (not in the loop)?
Thanks
Editorial Staff
You can simply use the insert post button on the image.

Oops, my example above failed.
e.g i mg src=”<?p hp the_p ost_thumbnail (); />

Ignore my comments. I figured out why you wouldnt want to wrap them in img and anchor tags :D.

Keep writing, continue to inspire, to keep creating I like the idea and the website is fairly easy to use. I do wish that they would review more than the top 20 or so websites in the field. The web is a big place.

Thank you very much for the wonderful information. It’s simple method to add thumnail in your homepage. I’ll try for my site today.

I’m working on WorPress Version 3.2.1. I noticed that the module in the admin reads „Featured Image” rather than „Post Thumbnail.”
Also, I get the following error when I try to add an image in the admin:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /——–/—-/——/——-/wp-content/themes/html5/functions.php:58) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/justine/wp-admin/async-upload.php on line 2648

@wpbeginner Hey
VERY(!) helpful post, However I got to the exact same problem after adding the 2 lines(at the bottom…). When I put them at the beginning, nothing happens…
Can you please be more specific as for the placement in the loop(Which/where)? Thanks

Hi there, I just tried to enter the code above by following instructions in the video, but when I updated it I got a parse error. I cannot even log into my dashboard. I feel like an idiot!
I use wordpress with modularity lite theme and my site is birdhammer.com.
Can you please help me?
wpbeginner
The placement of the code in your functions.php file is probably causing the errors. Are you using a theme framework? Are you adding it way at the bottom??
CaseyDennison
mines not working at all i keep gettin errors in the php and it is written up correctly. i dunno is screwed it keeps showing the functions code at the very top of my wp dashboard ??? thats weired
davede
@wpbeginner Ah thanks, I resolved the problem. details here: (well seems i can’t paste a url in). that sucks.
wpbeginner
@davede You would need to add the thumbnail code in your single.php file as well.
davede
Good stuff.Thank you.
I’m having a hard time having the thumbnail appear only in the excerpt not on the post page.
any ideas?
kevin.m.kwok
@wpbeginner Worked Perfectly thank you so much!
wpbeginner
@kevin.m.kwok Yes, this sounds like a CSS issue. Your image css class needs to have float: left property.
kevin.m.kwok
Hello, great tutorial. Everything works, except I can’t get the thumbnail to post „left” of my post on my homepage. It always goes on top of my post, even if I select left in the thumbnail options. Any Ideas?

Hi WP Beginner.
Great WP tutorial above from the Editorial Staff!
I have a quick WP thunmbnail gallery page photo question. I’ve been trying to add some simple Custom Field php code to my Catefory.php template in order to add a small text caption title below each thumnail image. Very frustrated…anyway, I have attached below the Category.php thumbnail loop and was wondering if you can help me write the a Custom Field php code (field called „thumb_tag”) within this loop. Here’s the code:
ID, 'main_image’, true); ?>
<a href="” ><img src="/resize.php?w=162&h=105&file=” alt=”” title=”” width=’162′ height=’105′ />
Thank you very much!
Pete

Why use custom field for that? WordPress has that built-in default.

i am new to wordpress,not knowing too much programming..i liked ur article.but can u tell me exact at which position we have to place this code..like fuctions.php is a file,which we have to edit,at what place we have to add that code,is there any demo for that?
Editorial Staff
Different themes have different codes in the functions file. You need to add this code within the php tag.
Administrator

Thanks, I think I’ve gotten it to work. However, when adding a thumbnail, it is now automatically added to the top of my post, even though the post already has an image.
mark
Great tutorial – However, and I cant find this information anywhere – BUT, I want to add the thumbnail to the post-editor screen so that my writers can see what it would look like inline with the post before they publish. Where could I do that? Thanks in advance.
Editorial Staff
You see the thumbnail once you upload it, however there is no live preview on the admin screen. Your author can simply click Preview and see the post in the new tab <<

Hi
Thank you for the info. i followed the steps in my theme, however my pictures still do not show in the image box…they look like broken files on my Home page. When I click on them, then they appear. How can i make them visible on the home page? Thanks

As long as the_post_thumbnail(); is inside the loop on the homepage, it should work fine.

Thank you for the great information.
Each of my posts has a photo. I am trying to get each post’s photo to show up as a thumbnail in the RSS feed. Will the above method work to do this?

No, you will have to use this method in conjunction with this method:

Thank you for your quick response.
I am a little confused as the theme I am using, AutoFocus+ also requires the Thematic theme. Which functions.php file needs to be edited? Or do both need to be edited?
Wondering also about where to put in the code?
Bernard
I’ve gone through the steps in this tut, but for some reason I get the following error whenever I try to select an image from the gallery option:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_post_thumbnail_id() in /wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1292
Can anyone help me in sorting this out?
thanks
Bernard
darren
is this actually cropping the image on upload? Or does it just display it at the appropriate height and width when it calls it on the page? I ask b/c we pull our feed from our blog onto a non wp site and link back to it but would like to be able to reference the thumbnails. It is a asp site so I don’t have the luxury of php’s native image manipulation
Editorial Staff
It is resizing the image not cropping it.

works great!! just one query.. how can i add a link or wrap a link around
so that when someone click the link a lightbox opens with the original size.
Just to clarify.
At the moment in functions.php I have
add_image_size(’my-custom-image’, 640,9999); so the image in the post is 640 in width, this will then be linked to the original image which is say 1000px by 500px.
I did find this: http://polymathworkshop.com/shoptalk/2010/03/19/get-the_post_thumbnail-direct-path-for-wordpress/ which works to a degree but opens the thumbnail in the lightbox.
Editorial Staff
The only way to get it to work is to link to the original attachment of the thumbnail..
Administrator
Eduardo Antunes
Cool!
To remember:
> add in functions.php
add_theme_support(’post-thumbnails’);
set_post_thumbnail_size(70, 70, true);
> add in the loop:
php the_post_thumbnail();

Weel I was looking for the same thing. I have a quick question for ya. Is there any way to have default image of the category to show as a thumbnails? Or is there anyway to fetch first image of the post and use it as thumbnail as related post.
I implemented the above technique on my blog but the major problem is my all the posts doesn’t have thumbnail enabled. Which makes the situation horrible as I have to update all the post with thumbnail.
Is there anyway to use first image as default thumbnail using above technique?
Editorial Staff
Yes you can fetch the first image of the post by using Justin Tadlock’s Get Image Plugin. You can also add a if then variable by checking for is_post_thumbnail.

Editors,
Do you use the wordpress’s post editor or some offline blog publishing software? I use Live Writer which has some decent options but sometimes I think of a switch-over to Wp’s post editor. Can you share some views on this please?
Thank you
Antonio
Wow thanks I’ve always wondered how to do this but never really had the patience to look for a solution. I didn’t know it was this simple. WOOOOT! Thanks.
Bob
How do you add lightbox or thickbox (example rel=”lightbox” or class „thickbox”) to the thumbnail?
Editorial Staff
You have to use jQuery and add the class to the thumbnail. To add the class you would add : array(’class’ => 'lightbox’)
Administrator
Trisha
Any idea if this works for Page thumbnails? I’m trying to list child pages using this code. (the 2nd one, in 'post format’. Switched out all instances of 'content’ with 'excerpt’ and used Andrew Oz’s Excerpt Editor which is seriously cool.
When I try to plug in the code for the thumbnail, it doesnt show.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Editorial Staff
This code only works inside the loop. If you want to display it outside the loop then you would have to run a global wp_query function.
Administrator
noonoob
Thanks you very much, it work. perfect

How can I get the thumb from outside of the loop?
Editorial Staff
We will write another article explaining that soon. Thanks for the suggestion. If you really want to go ahead and start working on it, you will use query_post function.

Looking forward to your post on showing Post Images Outside the Loop. I have yet to find a working example using WP 3.0
Editorial Staff
It would work the same way as this:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-display-custom-fields-outside-the-loop-in-wordpress/
Walt Ribeiro
It’s similar to that tutorial which isn’t an exact example. So did you post the your own how to for thumbnails? I’d love to know how!
Cosmin
Guys, does this only work with square images?
As in 50px by 50px?
I heard someone mention it only takes the height value when specifying dimensions…
(so 50px by 30px wouldn’t work)
Editorial Staff
It will work with any size. Sometimes the image quality will be lost if it is not the right ratio. We have it working on a client’s website and it works perfectly fine.
Administrator
Luke
I’m a beginner and love what you’re doing. Would be nice to get very specific instructions for stuff like this. When I copy/paste to functions it doesn’t work.
Thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? Maybe a functions for beginners post?
Thank you and keep up the great work.
Editorial Staff
Are you using WordPress 2.9? If so then there is no way that it would not work. This is probably the best break down of this code.
While we try to make everything as clear as possible, sometimes it requires prior knowledge to complete some tasks.
If you want one of our staff to take a look and do this for you we can do it for a small fee.

Chris Peterson
Great hints! You’ve clearly explained each and every steps installing post thumbnails.

I would rather like to use a plugin for it.
Editorial Staff
Why is that? Plugins slow your site down, and It is probably the easiest way to do this.
Administrator
jeprie
very nice articles never know you can do this in wordpress.
so, how slow can plugins do to our wp site? is it significant?
Editorial Staff
The more database query your site make, the slower it loads and each plugin adds on to the queries.
