Be sure you have PHP 4.3 with GD-library installed on your server. PHP 5 is better. 2. Start from a fresh copy and upload the theme at wp-content/themes/arthemia-premium/. Do not change ‘arthemia-premium’ to anything because it will break everything. 3. Make the folder “scripts” and “cache” writable (777 or 755). Try 777 first.

Add a custom field in the post. The custom field key MUST be 'Image' (letter cases are important). 5. Fill the custom field value with the path of your image. It MUST start with 'wp-content'. If you have the image located at http://www.yourblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/file_name.jpg then the key value of the custom field MUST be wp-content/uploads/2008/06/file_name.jpg (Notice there is no http://www.yourblog.com/ in the value) 6. You could skip number 4 and 5 if you choose the First-Image automatic generation. To have your thumbnail generated, simply add images in your post and the first-images will be used as thumbnails. 7.
