    Ooops … I must be doing something wrong.

    I placed the shortcode
    [Category number=’-1′ method=’full’ order=’asc’ id=’3′ orderby=’title’]
    on the page, and get this:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_the_post_thumbnail() in /home/content/c/h/i/chirobooks/html/wp-content/plugins/category-shortcode-w-generator/category_shortcode.php on line 157

    Can someone help me figure this out?

    Hi! I had this problem, too, and I was able to trace it back to how category_shortcode gets the post thumbnails. It uses the get_the_post_thumbnail (http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/get_the_post_thumbnail) and if that isn’t enabled by your theme, then you get this error.

    To fix it, go into your theme’s functions.php file, and add:
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
    to it. I put it under where the theme registered the menus and side bars, but before it set the paths for everything, and it works fine now. (You’ll still need to style the output, but there’s directions for that in the readme.) Good luck!

    Thanks so much for the response and the info, Netjera. I’ll definitely keep it on file for future reference!

    In the meantime, however, I tried a different shortcode plugin that worked so I’m using it instead.

    No problems. I tried a couple of different post in pages/shortcode plugins before I found the one that worked for me. 😀
