Very nice post and straight to the point. I am not sure if this is in fact the best place to ask but do you people have any ideea where to employ some professional writers? Thx 🙂
Its quite simple. But did you know how to show thumbnail in custom posts rss? Thanks in advance!
10x for sharing this code. But if my theme use custom post type – listing in my case, will i must to change something in your code to work?
For example:
global $post;
if(has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
with
global $listing;
if(has_post_thumbnail($listing->ID)) {
Can you tell me if i am wrong?
