If you want to pull only the excerpt but also want to display an image along side it, this code is all you need. Forget using custom fields or plugins, just add this code to your theme’s functions.php and then call the function within the loop to pull the image you want.</p> <p>It functions by going through your post’s content and placing every image it encounters into an array. You can then use the function to call any image our of that array and display it.</p> <p>If you already have a functions.php file in your theme’s folder, just place the following code between the opening <code><?php</code> and closing <code>?></code> tags. If not, create one and make sure to add an opening <code><?php</code> and closing <code>?></code> tag.</p> <div class="wp_syntax"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><div
