I don’t know PHP but I know enough to do the basic things. Is there any thing more than should do here to fix the problem? * [janbletz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janbletz/) * (@janbletz) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedwordpress-and-post-thumbnails/#post-1606378) * Maybe you could use the plugin ‘Better Feed’? Better as in ‘better than feedwordpress’: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ozh-better-feed/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ozh-better-feed/) * I haven’t tried it (yet). * [Pieter Bos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/senlin/) * (@senlin) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedwordpress-and-post-thumbnails/#post-1606404) * Better Feed has absolutely nothing to do with FeedWordPress! * Thread Starter [bluebird2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bluebird2/) * (@bluebird2) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedwordpress-and-post-thumbnails/#post-1606405) * Yes. They have two different functions. * [Adam W.

I have about five sites on a network install and the main site’s “General News” category of posts is feeding the other five. These are using themes that make use of post thumbnails… * Thread Starter [bluebird2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bluebird2/) * (@bluebird2) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedwordpress-and-post-thumbnails/#post-1606426) * Not yet. 🙁 * [Adam W.

Do you happen to be a member of StudioPress? My thread is behind the login on their Genesis Framework forums. Although the method I’m exploring is a function that filters the built-in genesis_get_image hook to include Justin Tadlock’s get_the_image. It’s working for thumbnail sizes now, but there are other sizes I’m trying to get it to work with also. * Thanks to Daisy Olsen for the actual function. * If you do have a login to their support forum, the thread is here: [http://www.studiopress.com/support/showpost.php?p=198098&postcount=10](http://www.studiopress.com/support/showpost.php?p=198098&postcount=10) * [pasqualino77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pasqualino77/) * (@pasqualino77) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedwordpress-and-post-thumbnails/#post-1606429) * I have the sam problem i can add the thumd in my post * Thread Starter [bluebird2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bluebird2/) * (@bluebird2) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedwordpress-and-post-thumbnails/#post-1606430) * [@awarner20](https://wordpress.org/support/users/awarner20/), * No. I don’t use Genesis.

I’m trying it out now to see if it does the job automatically; it certainly fixes things for older posts already pulled by FeedWordPress… * [Zeb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeb-el/) * (@zeb-el) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedwordpress-and-post-thumbnails/#post-1606474) * Hi, Have the same problem. Need to recieve images to display in the posts.
