When I embed a photo in a post that has a category, I get a double posting of the image, one as the embedded image, one as the category image. But when I got to the media library, there is no category marked on the image. Why?

Very useful functions but can you post the code which has to be inserted into the template again since it doesn

Is there a variable that I can use on my homepage to display the ‘default category image’?

I’m simply looking for a variable or something that I can use within the excerpt that will force show the default image even if an image shows in the article.

It’s for a kinda special project I am working on where I have the categories set to the authors names with the default picture being a photo of the author. I wanted to use that default author photo image in the widget.

thanks

btw
I don’t really understand how the comment system replies work. Am I reading from right to left, top down, etc…

Thanks Shawn for the alert. I’m uploading the files now.

BTW… the link to the download for the code is broken. I already have it from a few weeks ago, but others can’t get to it now.

Plugin works absolutely perfect!

I do have one question:

What would be the function for pulling the ‘default category image’ so that I can use that image only for the thumbnail on my homepage?

My homepage has small ‘excerpt’ boxes which show the latest posts with the thumbnail and a bit of text and readmore.

Instead of showing the article thumbnail on the homepage, I would like to replace the logic to show the image that is set as the category default if the article has no images.

Right now I use the following:

When there is no image in a post, it shows the category default. When there is an image in the post, it grabs that image instead.

I am trying to override that logic.

thanks

Dan, the functions within the loop depend on the $post global variable being set. If it is set then the function should work. However, the usual way is to create a new loop containing the posts you want, and then use it as normal.

Hi Andrew, this code looks like just the ticket for me. Being new to WordPress I've found it frustrating how "buried" all this access to post images is - and had no joy on the WP support forums.

How can I use your the-image tag outside of the loop? e.g. to display the first image attached to a specific post on my static homepage. I'm currently using a custom-field but I'd prefer to create a unique post to manage this image element on my homepage - it'll bjust be much easier for my non-techy client to manage!

Thanks for generously posting your code.

Dan
