Do you have problems like the auto-generated thumbnail for each of your post is no longer working after you have upgraded your WordPress to version 3.0.4? Or, the thumbnails were working fine before, but after the upgrade (later version), they fail to show up like they used to be?
I was really frustrated when this happened to my personal blog.
It looked so ugly and unattractive. And this somehow affected my mood on updating my blog!! I’ve been searching for solutions for days. I finally found a solution that works for me and thought I would like to share it here as a reference for those who encounter similar problem like me.
WordPress theme which has the thumbnail feature, is using the TimThumb script. Most commonly renamed as thumb.php in the theme folder. To solve this problem of thumbnail not showing up, all you have to do is to access your FTP, browse to your wp-content folder, change the mode to 755. (aka chmod 755) Also change the mode to 755 for the thumb.php (depends on how the author of the theme name it).
Voila~ Thumbnails are up and ready!
Enjoy.

I changed the theme of my site yesterday and I’ve been fighting with the thumbnails until now. At first it didn’t seem to work but I use a cache plugin and when I temporarily disabled that the thumbnails burst back into life. Thank you so much, this has ended hours of frustration.

I had this very problem with my WordPress blog and banged my head against a brick wall waiting for WordPress or Facebook to take it seriously. In the end I wrote my own code that WORKS. I put up a tutorial for it on my FB page. https://www.facebook.com/imperialantiques?v=app_100783790015943 it doesn’t involve stupid OG Meta Tags or any other waste of time stuff that SOUNDS like it will work but in the end is just an annoying waste of time, it simply posts exactly what you want it to post, thumbnail and all to the users wall.
Don’t be frustrated!
Everything in this life has got a solution, only death hasn’t it!
You’ll work it out finely, don’t you think?
Just you have to follow the advice that other people have given you. That’s all you need.
