I was looking forward to use the thumbnail and gallery options of the\u00a0SimplePress<\/a> theme from ElegantThemes<\/a>, only to find empty thumbnails when I tried it out.<\/p>\n

A bit of research put me on the way to a solution via ‘How to make TimThumb work with WordPress mu<\/a>‘. The culprit was the difference between virtual paths and physical paths in a multi-site installation of WordPress (WordPress mu is now available by default in WordPress 3.0).<\/p>\n

Between this post and some of the comments, I was able to get thumbnails to work.<\/p>\n

1- Add a new function ‘get_image_path’ to ‘SimplePress\/epanel\/custom_functions.php’, at line 149 :<\/p>\n[code]\n

\/* Get virtual path from post ID and full path – enable for multiple sites setup *\/
\nfunction get_image_path ($post_id = null, $theImageSrc) {
\nif ($post_id == null) {
\nglobal $post;
\n$post_id = $post->ID;
\n}<\/p>\n

global $blog_id, $current_site;<\/p>\n

if (isset($blog_id) && $blog_id > 0) {
\n$imageParts = explode(‘\/files\/’, $theImageSrc);
\nif (isset($imageParts[1])) {
\n$theImageSrc = ‘http:\/\/’ . $current_site->domain . $current_site->path . ‘wp-content\/blogs.dir\/’ . $blog_id . ‘\/files\/’ . $imageParts[1];
\n}
\n}
\nreturn $theImageSrc;
\n}<\/p>\n[\/code]\n

2- In the same file, add these lines at the end of ‘get_thumbnails’\u00a0 (before ‘if ($fullpath)’ )<\/p>\n[code]\n

\/* Replace virtual path by full path – enable for multiple sites setup *\/
\n$thumb_array[‘thumb’] = get_image_path($post->ID, $thumb_array[‘thumb’]);<\/p>\n

if ($fullpath) $thumb_array[‘fullpath’] = $thumb_array[‘thumb’];<\/p>\n[\/code]\n

This should make the thumbnails available assuming you are using images loaded to the site using the Media library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
