what value do I pass for 100% opaque background?
I think that will be fine – I’ll give it a try !
It does look that way, but I can assure you I have not embedded an image in my post. I merely selected that faucet image as the “featured image” for the post.
if I specify thumbnail_size=”none” one of those two images goes away. perhaps my post template is sticking a featured image thumbnail in, and the tpg_get_posts is doing so as well?
