Such A Difficult Time With Thumbnails

    So I HAve been searching around the forums for how it is I need to go about adding the Thumbnail feature to the edit post screen.

    Oddly enough the theme I have installed already has the line of code in the Functions.PHP file that should allow it to add the thumbnail feature:

    <?php if ( function_exists(“add_theme_support”) ) { add_theme_support(“post-thumbnails”); } ?>

    However that line of code is just slightly different from the line of code that wordpress offers in the codex:

    <?php if ( function_exists( ‘add_theme_support’ ) ) { add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ ); } ?>

    I tried using both of these lines of code in my themes Function.PHP but they dont work. All I see in my post edit screen and in the image edit screen is “set featured image” and it has to be a thumbnail in order for this to work properly for me.

    Please if any of you can help let me know. I am not a wizard when it comes to php. O_o

    there is no difference between ‘featured image’ and post thumbnail.

    can you explain in more detail?
    is that required by your theme?
    what theme are you using?

    Yes umm.. I am using a theme called Contrive. I found it here:

    http://newwpthemes.com/wordpress-theme/contrive/

    This theme has ascrolling featured posts option and when you set a image to the thumbnail of the posts it shows up in this scrolling thing. I have tried using featured image already. that doesn’t work. Here is exactly what the theme says inside the options panel of the theme:

    “How to add images to your featured posts slideshow?
    » If you are using WordPress version 2.9 and above: Just set “Post Thumbnail” when adding new post for the posts in selected category above.
    » If you are using WordPress version under 2.9 you have to add custom fields in each post on the category you set as featured category. The custom field should be named “featured” and it’s value should be full image URL. Click here for a screenshot.”
