My first thought would be simply to check if get_the_post_thumbnail returns empty; if not, use the returned image, if so, pull the first image from the post. This would avoid mucking with the_post_thumbnail altogether. (I haven't tested any of this, just a hunch from taking a look at get_the_post_thumbnail).<div>

<div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif">Hello everybody!<br>Hope I'm not bothering and I hope this isn't the wrong place but I know you guys are into WordPress and have a lot of experience.<br>
<br>For my Mantra theme I created a short function that automatically gets the first image from a post with the thought of using that as a thumbnail featured image in case one is not selected.<br>So once I have that custom image's src attribute i thought of doing this :<br>
<br>the_post_thumbnail( array($width,$height), array("class" => "post_thumbnail" , "src" => $my_custom_src )); or even just the_post_thumbnail( array("src" => $my_custom_src ));<br>
<br>So I want the the_post_thumbnail function to use and show my custom image. But nothing happens. I can even type the address of an image on the site that exists and is verified. And still nothing
happens, not even a warning or an error. If I remove the src part out of the array eveything functions normally. But I do see the src as an attribute in the the_post_thumbnail's function description.<br>The weird thing is that it worked previously to 3.3.1. Or so I thought.<br>
<br>Thanks a lot !<br><br></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
