Not adding anything…
by Clicknathan·9 years ago·5 replies

Tried refreshing permalinks, saving settings on the General settings page you’ve added the two checkboxes to, nothing makes a difference. No post thumbnail in the feeds…

Update! And then it started working!

I’m guessing this may have had something to do with either my hosting’s caching or possibly even just my own browser cache. Works like a dream, thank you!
