Default Changing from Featured Content Gallery to Dynamic Content Gallery

Hello,

I have had numerous conflicts with featured content gallery and on the advice of Daisy I am making the switch over to the Dynamic Content Gallery plugin but I can't get it to display the images.

I am not sure if this is the problem but I do see a message at the top of the plugins page that my theme needs to support the WP Post Thumbnails feature. What do I need to do to get the theme to support the WP Post Thumbnails feature?

I replaced this code
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>

on home.php page in the editor with this code

<?php dynamic_content_gallery(); ?>

as instructed in the setup info...

After setting it up I was seeing the gallery box blank with the loader showing it was searching for the images. I deactivated all plugins to see if there was a conflict with something else as this is exactly what used to happen with the featured content gallery quite often. After deactivating the gallery box disappeared all together. I reactivated everything I had activated prior and it is still missing now.

Here's the website

http://osamountainadventures.com

I have already input all the data for the gallery on each page of the site in the DCG metabox and I selected the ID Method as the Gallery method.

What do I need to do next to get this switched over and working correctly?

Thanks,

Duane

enabling post thumb support is as easy as adding this to your functions.php

PHP Code:
add_theme_support'post-thumbnails' ); 
to switch your theme to use post thumbs see this post

I have added the code to the functions page directly under the opening <?php

It looks like I did it correctly because the message is gone now.

Unfortunately, the gallery box is still not showing up at all.

What next?

I can see the java script on the page source for the home page and I see no error messages in the script ( i have error message turned on.

I also tried using the jquery option instead of the mootools option in the Java script settings page.
