 * This error is now occurring all the time, and thumbnail images are no longer 
   being generated. Here’s the recap from the old thread:
 * After a while I finally managed to capture this problem while the image wasn’t
   showing, although it seems to be happening a LOT now for some reason.
 * The PHP error is: File is not a valid image: /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/
   uploads/ Fatal error: Call to a member function adaptiveResize() on a non-object
   in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/special-recent-posts/lib/phpimage.
   php on line 42
 * Here’s the broken image link: [http://www.habitationofjustice.com/wp-content/plugins/special-recent-posts/lib/phpimage.php?width=65&height=65&rotation=no&file=L2hvbWUvaGFiaWFkYTEvcHVibGljX2h0bWwvd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLw==](http://www.habitationofjustice.com/wp-content/plugins/special-recent-posts/lib/phpimage.php?width=65&height=65&rotation=no&file=L2hvbWUvaGFiaWFkYTEvcHVibGljX2h0bWwvd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLw==)
 * I’ve compared this to the other image links and the only obvious difference I
   can tell is that the broken one is much shorter. Any help appreciated!

 * Where are the generated thumbnails being stored? I’m trying to find the folder
   they’re store din to see if these broken images are even being generated in the
   first place.

 * Ok, I think I’ve found a pattern here:
 * It seems when I upload new images for a post and set one of them to featured,
   I don’t have a problem.
 * But when I don’t upload any images and **instead search my media library for 
   images to use that have already been uploaded** a while ago, that’s when the 
   fatal errors start to occur. I also noticed that when I do this, no “gallery 
   tab” is created either, which after a precursory look in the forums here, seems
   to be normal behavior for WordPress. Galleries are only created when new images
   are uploaded.
 * I’ve also noticed that images can only be attached to ONE post, so if I’m taking
   an image from another post and re-using it for a new one via the media library,
   then the Special Recent Posts plugin can not make a thumbnail from it.
 * This must be the source of the bug!
 * Is there a workaround I can try (other than uploading new images all the time)
   for this, at least until 2.0 is released?
