Hi Joern,
I have installed the theme Matipid by Pad Solutions on my test site at http://www.stonedesign.netai.net but the thumbnail images aren't showing in my blog posts on the homepage, although they are showing if you go into the actual post.
All the research i've done seems to point at it being an issue with the timthumb image resizer. I've no idea what i'm doing with php so if you can see what the issue is, please explain simply.
Please could you take a look?
Many thanks,
Ben
your image is loaded correctly by the theme and thumb.php, but you are right, it's not to see.
I guess the script is not caching the image. Did you make the cache folder ...\matipid\functions\thumb\cache writeable? This folder (cache) should be set to 755 or 777. Are there any files in this folder already?
I would get the latest timthumb script from here:
http://code.google.com/p/timthumb/source/checkout
(use this link and save the screen as your new thumb.php http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ )
This version can even cache external images from flickr and others, but you need one more folder called temp beside the cache folder
...\matipid\functions\thumb\temp
this folder has to be writetable too!
BUT FIRST try to make old version work!

Hi thanks for your reply.
The cache folder is set to 755. There are no files in the cache folder.
I just tried the new timthumb script and set up the ...\matipid\functions\thumb\temp folder (as 755) and unfortunately this didn't work either.
I am happy to provide you with my ftp details if this will be easier?
Thanks,
Ben
try also 777, if it's still not working then you should try to get your site's error.log, it will tell you something.
Going to my karate training now...
the files in your cache are actually the resized images:

I do not know why they are not displayed.. error.log would be helpfull
The theme you use is not valid xhtml, check here:
most important is in your header.php the line:
<html>should read
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Checking the source code of your site I see that the Matipid Theme is adding unvisible links to the footer, black on black.. I would not like this.
