  Have created a page using the display-posts this shortcode for my client:
  [display-posts posts_per_page="6" include_excerpt="true" image_size="thumbnail" wrapper="ul" include_date="true" date_format="F j, Y"]
  I have also included the relevant .display-posts classes in the CSS as instructed by the installation guide.
  Code returns all values EXCEPT the thumbnail. Posts have an image inserted from the media library. What am I missing?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi –

  Your shortcode looks perfect! However, the thumbnail will only show if you’ve set the featured image for a post. Here is a link to help you set a featured image.

  Please let me know if this helps or if anything is unclear.

  Thanks!
