When it auto crops the thumbnails it needs a proper image to work with - the ones I was giving it were either full body shots or multiple faces so I guess it didn't know where to crop. Replaced with other posts and working great now!

It also depends on the settings you have chosen for the images. I set mine to use the first image from the post and it worked fine. @Michelle – if you go to the plugin settings, you should be able to see an example of how it will look like.

The plugin installed just fine on my site (I'm using Thesis), however I'm having trouble with images. I have 5 featured posts in the slider but only one of them is displaying an image. I can't figure out why. Any ideas? .-= Michelle´s last blog ..<a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/12/29/breaking-news-britney-spears-goes-brunette/">Breaking News: Britney Spears Goes Brunette</a> =-.
