I've been having a hard time with this issue.
I'm running Wordpress 3.3.1 on Ubuntu Server 64bit
So I'm able to upload an image and view it using the url provided.
However, when I set it as a feature image it appears that the function
print_thumbnail is not giving me the correct address.
It's adding in /var/www/ before my /wp-content/uploads/etc...
So the absolute path name would be correct on my machine with the help of some symlinks.
I tried changing the css on the file to remove the /var/www/ and verified that this did indeed find my image and worked. I've been seeing a lot of posts that tell me change chmod 777 and back to 755 as in wp print_thumbnail function is not working and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9003277/wp-print-thumbnail-function-not-working-correctly I don't know how this was suppose to fix the issue since this seems to be a pathing problem. Is there some sort of redirection based on permissions? Anyways, it didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is an example post

You might try this instead of print_thumbnail
.
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail(); // Outputs <img/> object with src="thumbnail-href"
}
Similarly, this would also work:
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
echo( get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID() ) );
}
If you've setup multiple featured image sizes in your functions.php....
<?php
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 120, 120 );
add_image_size( 'subfeature', 940, 300 );
you could reference a size in this manner (where subfeature
is the name of the size):
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
echo( get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), 'subfeature' ) );
}
In the function I found out that it uses get_bloginfo function to print out stylesheet directory
$output = '<img src="'.get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'/timthumb.php?src='.$thumbnail.'&h='. $height .'&w='. $width .'&zc=1"';
In the wordpress codex of get_bloginfo, it says:
'stylesheet_directory' - Returns the stylesheet directory URL of the
active theme. (Was a local path in earlier WordPress versions.)
Consider using get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead.
Change the get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') to get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
I did not try it myself, hope it helps.
