Its been a long time that i am not share about new wordpress theme. In this case, i want to discuss about how to make Gabfire’s Transcript theme can show thumbnail automatically. Just like the others need, this theme can be our best theme for our wprobot site.
The original Gabfire Transcript theme can show thumbnail automatically, as long as you upload that image manually into your own server. This theme has auto thumb built in (inside their theme), but its not enough when you do autoblogging. Because all of your thumbnail will not shown, but just like i told before, this theme can be tweaked into wprobot friendly theme with Get The Image plugin’s aid. This tutorial will show how to do it. Just to give you ideas, about how it will works.
As the sample, lets see the “home.php” file, because this file is the key for your main page layout.
That script above is the key to show sliding image at the top left area in the main page. Please take a look more clearly into the underline words.
- width = 342
- height = 256
- align = none
With the help of Get The image plugins (assume you were using the latest version), you can change the script above (that i mark it with circle) with this kind of script :
For the full script that you should modify, you can see the image below

If you want to try it, and still not have the Gabfire Transcript Theme, you can download it here
If you not have enough time to modify it, you can ask my help
the get_the_image replacing code just scan images for certain dimensions, it won’t work unless you set the flickr grabbed dimensions images on the wpr option and don’t forget this theme have various image dimension set. also if you choose this work around, after you have >100 post, this scanning code will burden your server.
there is one much more simpler solution, find the originating code flow of this issue. just a hint, it’s not in the home.php
