I want to migrate from a Templatic Technews template to your Newsmag template but encounter issues with the images. Some of my posts do not show the images and doesn’t have thumbnails. Anyway to solve this?

From this template:
http://templatic.com/magazine-themes/technews-advanced-blog-theme

Current Site:
http://www.foodnewsinternational.com

New Site running Newsmag:
http://dev.foodnewsinternational.com

Thanks.

I found out the reason why the images didn’t appear. On the older template, the images are associated with the posts using the post_parent column in the wp_posts table.

If I use the set featured image function, the association is done using the wp_postmeta table which will work on the Newmag template.

Is there any tools to change the association from using the post_parent method to using the wp_postmeta linking way?

Thanks.
