    Hello, im trying to make a custom image slider,i made a front page.php and try to generate some post feature image with a WP_Query.But the code only generates one, with the post title it works great.here is the code:

    <?php

$args=array(
	'posts_per_page'=>3
);

// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
	echo '<ul>';
	while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
		$the_query->the_post();

		if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
	the_post_thumbnail();
}

	}

	/* Restore original Post Data */
	wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
	// no posts found
}

?>

    are you sure that all those three latest posts have a featured image?

    to get only posts with featured image, try this modification:

    $args=array(
	'meta_key' => '_thumbnail_id',
	'posts_per_page'=>3
);

    try:

    $args=array(
	'meta_key' => '_thumbnail_id',
	'posts_per_page'=>3,
	'orderby' => 'rand'
);
