   Hi! I'm relatively new to Thematic. I'm amazed by how powerful this framework is and how easy it is to build your own child-themes.

   I want to add post thumbnails to my child theme, but I'm struggling getting it right. Steps I took:

   1. I added the thumbnail function to my functions.php using the following code:

   add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');

   2. I added the call for the thumbnail to my customized post-header (function: mdv5_postheader) using the following code:

   $postmeta .= the_post_thumbnail();

   3. And this is where the problem starts: it doesn't matter where in the postheader I place the call for the thumbnail, it automatically places the thumbnail above the post-title.

   Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

   Hi,

   using the 'wrong' function call ;)

   the_post_thumbnail will echo the result instead of to return it.

   Use get_the_post_thumbnail instead.

   Hi Chris,

   I am having the same problem but I am using get_the_post_thumbnail. What am I still doing wrong? (thumbnail is displayed above the title)

   
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
set_post_thumbnail_size( 250, 250, true );
function my_post_title($title) {
if (is_category()) {
return get_the_post_thumbnail(NULL, 'thumbnail') . $title;
} else {
return $title;
}
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader_posttitle', 'my_post_title');
