在WordPress中使用the_post_thumbnail的问题

Question

I'm teaching myself Wordpress, and my current goal is to display 4 thumbnails of images posted in a particular category.

I've already got the posts being pulled in by category, however I cannot pull ONLY the images. It's either the images and post text, or none at all.

My code is posted here: http://pastebin.com/NZ7fyyPA

I've tried simply replacing

<?php the_content(); ?>

with:

<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

but that didn't work at all. Nothing came back at all!

I've even tried simply removing:

<?php the_content(); ?>

and same as above! I was thinking that because I have

<div class="entry-thumbnail"> <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> </div>

That would pull the thumbnail in only, so I thought removing the content would help but nope!

I've read through the Codex here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail

and the only question I have from that, is that immediately the Codex says:

"Use get_the_post_thumbnail($id, $size, $attr ) instead to get the featured image for any post."

Which I don't think I'm doing, because I haven't setup anything related to a 'featured image' in my theme...or is what I'm trying to do considered using a featured image? I'm only uploading images and posting them inside of the blog posts.

Sorry for the long write up, I'm sure it's something simple!

Thanks!

One more thing you can set a featured image from admin and call that image with this code the_post_thumbnail( $size, $attr ); and when you want to show anything from content part then you can call with this code simply. the_content(); you can also use excerpt for this as the_excerpt();

This is a bit of a hack; however, it works.

While viewing your Wordpress website, use the browsers developer tools to target the 'post text'. You'll be able to see the id that is associated with that data-set.

Then, in your CSS. Target that id and use display:none;

Example:

#posttext {
    display:none;
}
