This is exactly what I was looking for. It's a bit too well hidden though, especially considering how many people are asking for this particular function. Maybe make this thread a sticky in the forum so people find it easily? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-setting-the-the_post_thumbnail#post-16983 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 12:25:32 +0000 David Smith 16983@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi webrulon, that should be added to your functions.php </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-setting-the-the_post_thumbnail#post-16967 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 04:05:47 +0000 webrulon 16967@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, what file should the above code be added to? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-setting-the-the_post_thumbnail#post-12675 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 06:35:57 +0000 Gmorales 12675@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Great! thank you so much, it works perfectly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-setting-the-the_post_thumbnail#post-5394 Tue, 11 May 2010 11:39:44 +0000 Alex Cancado 5394@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p><strong>EDIT (July 2011)</strong></p> <blockquote><p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:</strong> This code is out of date and no longer works.</p> <p>Please see this post instead:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/fatal-error-when-using-the_post_thumbnail-code-snippet#post-30918" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/fatal-error-when-using-the_post_thumbnail-code-snippet#post-30918</a></p> </blockquote> <p>I like your idea about having some sort of collaboration on these code snippets.

I'm happy for it to just be the first image attached.</p> <p>Alex The Admin said it was possible in a pre-sale post here: <a href="http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-image-attachment" rel="nofollow">http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-image-attachment</a></p> <p>Thanks for the help! Great plugin!</p> <p>PS: You guys should have some sort of user-edited code snippet repository along the lines of the wordpress CODEX for this kind of thing. Would save your admins a lot of work on the forums. </p>
