I found a tornaround: I modify the file firstimage.php in this way:

<?php
$post_id = $post->ID;

$first_image = get_post_meta($post_id, 'image', true);

if ($first_image) {
$image = $first_image; }
//IF THERE IS NO IMAGE, USE THIS ONE...
else {$image = "images/default.jpg";}

Now you can pass the link of the image you'd like to use as a thumb in the custom field "image"

Hi
I'm using your theme on a old installation of wordpress. So I have a lot of posts with files already attached (and the most part are pdf files). The result is that the script can't generate the thumbs, even if I add and image (because it is not the first file in the post's gallery). This is a problem, this theme is not useful without thumbs.
How can I get the thumbs by putting the image path in a custom field?

Thanks
and best regards!
