Using post thumbnails for custom header images -- works fine on straight pages. But custom templates that load a loop (including index) are pulling the first image instead of using the one set in the featured image field.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks!

what theme are you using? can you post the code of the custom template(s)? – Michael Feb 1 at 23:46
It's a custom theme. I'm using <?php the_post_thumbnail('header'); ?> to get the image and then there's a loop that looks, pretty much like any other -- <?php $args = array('post_type' => 'people', 'category_name'=> 'current'); $people_posts = new WP_Query($args); if($people_posts->have_posts()) : while($people_posts->have_posts()) : $people_posts->the_post(); ?> etc etc.... – Martin Feb 2 at 3:43

Your theme uses a custom function to get the first image, if you post your index.php codes here you maybe find someone to help.

Nope -- just the standard '<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>` – Martin Feb 2 at 3:46
