The plugin scan posts for images. Then, it can do the followings:

• Loop display: show a thumbnail linked to the post.
• Sidebar display: it can shows thumbnails from the most recent posts or thumbnails from random posts.

All thumbnails are dynamically created when needed and then saved. So, there is no complex thumbnail management. The nice Highslide javascript library is included in the plugin and used if desired. It adds nice expansion effect to each link/thumbnail created by post-thumb revisited.

So, Post-Thumb revisited is a thumbnail management system.

Install the plugin, and then, you can add a thumbnail display in the Loop by a simple function:

        <?php the_thumb(); ?>

This will show the thumbnail of the first picture in the post for each post in the Loop.

Or you can add a list of your most recent posts represented by a thumbnail in the sidebar with:

        <?php the_recent_thumbs(); ?>

Or one or more random posts in the same way:

        <?php the_random_thumb(); ?>

Once you've done this, you do not have to care anymore about thumbnails!

For instance, if you want to change thumbnail size site-wide, just delete the thumbnails on your server, change the settings…done. Next time a page will be loaded, thumbnails will be updated automatically.
