[Solved] WordPress Post Image Plugin?

  • I have a question. On my current website, I'd like to have my posts accompanied by an image. When you look at the post on the front page, there should be a thumbnail. Then, once you have clicked on the post, the image appears again, larger this time and spanning the width of the #wrapper, with the content nestled below it.

    I have found something akin to what I'd like, here. I downloaded the theme to see how things were structured and when you make a new post, there is a tiny, little widget at the bottom called "Magazeen Post Options" and there is an option to upload an image.

    Is there a WordPress plugin that enables something like this without having to use someone else's theme? I've been searching through plugins for the better half of a day and I can't seem to find anything.

    Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.

  • This type of functionality is actually built directly into WordPress now with 'Post Thumbnails' (also known as 'Featured Images').

  • @TheDoc is right. Go to Posts >> Add New Post look at the last panel bottom right.

  • Well, hot damn, that's handy. Awesome. That was a quick fix.

  • You can also set specific sizes for it in your functions.php file.

  • Yeah, I was just looking at several codex pages about "Featured Images." Pretty nifty stuff. If I have any troubles, I am sure you can guess where I'll be. On here. But the codex seems fairly thorough.
