There's actually a featured image option for every post.

 

I need a auto method.

 

There is a plugin called Thumbnail for Excerpts

 

Try Regenerate Thumbnails plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

 

As Imtiazrayhan said, use this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/

Don't forget to select 'yes' for 'apply on home' option in the settings.

 

This plugin hasn't been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Definitely Not going to use it.

Anyways I coded it and fixed it. Thanks Everyone.

 

You can use featured images instead of thumnail and call in file <?php the_post_thumbnail();?>

 

True that it has not been updated for a long time. Don't know the real reason behind this but one reason may be that it didn't require any change.

I have been using it on over a dozen old and new sites and didn't face any problem yet. In fact I find it very simple and useful.

 

try a plugin called get the image, it works wonderfully.

cheers

 

can you help with the download link of that plugin? Couldnt find it

 

Here is the official link

Thank you

 

ashishkg's method is the best. Just modify your theme a bit, it takes less than a hour of code editing. You need to add the functionality in the functions.php file of your theme if it doesn't already have it and set a image thumbnail size. And then just add a line in your page to display thumbnails.

Using a custom field for this is a "stone age" method.

 

Actually plugin like this one will do the trick

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...-for-excerpts/

Though this plugin is not updated but it is simple to use this plugin.

 

Thank you...
