Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_post_image()
If you have recently downloaded the latest WordPress 2.9 beta build (like I have) you will find “the_post_image” no longer works! In place you will see that lovely “Fatal Error” message above.
“Post/Page Image was too generic a name. Post/Page Thumbnail is more clear, even if you can create very large thumbnail images if you so choose.”
- WordPress trac
Below, I will be noting the changes found in the latest build, and how to now use thumbnails in a WordPress theme using 2.9’s post thumbnail function.
Adding support for the post thumbnail feature in a theme
This part has not changed. Just add the code below to your themes function.php
if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) )
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
So, what has changed?

The weekend is over, as well as the packed, fun-filled-two-day New York WordCamp (fun even though I wasn’t allowed into Tonic’s for the after party on Saturday night. Stinks being only 20).
With over 50 speakers, 8 tracks, and over 700 attendees, it was one the largest WordCamps to date. More pictures after the break.

Today, I launched my first solo project under Nothing Cliché. A complete Redesign of Johnny Jungle
Johnny Jungle is a fan site for St. John’s Red Storm men’s basketball team. The site was originally built using Apple’s iWeb and comprised of mainly images in place of text. The mission: to give the client an easy way to update content.
The new site is now built using WordPress using it as a CMS. The site underwent a fresh redesign, as well as many additions due to the conveniences of using WordPress to manage pages, posts and the adding of widgets and plug-ins.

tnereffiD = Different*
You’re probably telling yourself that something is definitely wrong with this page. Don’t refresh, it loaded correctly. Nothing Cliché is all about being original.
I did previously have a “Coming Soon” page, but a friend pointed out that yes, that is a very cliché thing to do. So instead, I have invited all to join in the creation of the website.
Welcome to Nothing Cliché.
*Someone actually found this page by Googling “what is tnereffid.” So, for the next person to come doing the same, it’s just different spelled backwards.
