So, before starting here at WA I had the ProReview theme I purchased at a nice discount. When I tried it here at WA I noticed right away that the timthumb script was disabled. R
maybe you can find help for this here. Dean is an expert with WP themes www.apinapress.com
I would approach this from several angles. The first is to put in a support ticket here at WA and see if they have a workaround. You could also PM Carson and see if he can offer up something. Second, contact the theme maker. This issue has been around for a while now so it should not be unfamiliar to them.
Also, I have found the following but does require some tweaking to the code.

If you decide to fiddle with it please make sure you back you your WordPress before doing so. You can render the installation useless if you change the wrong thing.
Hope this helps.

Hi Nick - it's not allowed I'm afraid.
The reasons it's specifically not allowed on WA are detailed by Carson here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/the-wealthy-affiliate-platform/does-the-wa-server-support-timthumb
According to his post - you don't need it, as WP will resize images by itself.
I hope this helps?
All the best, Mark
Well, the issue becomes having to remove it from code in almost any commercial theme I find.
Yeah I understand - but if this was your hosting business, and a known script full of security holes was trying to be installed by one of your customers, risking your whole business - what would you do?
It's a rhetorical question obviously - as I know you can see WA's side too.
All the best, Mark

timthumb Not Allowed... I Am Stuck With Professional Themes That Don't Work

I actually just found a awesome deal for external hosting around $2 a month. I'd prefer to write and make money rather than learn to code and I doubt WA would want to allow the timthumb code for good reason.

Hello,
I have created a long list of keywords and wanted to run it through Jaaxy. Is it possible to import a list into Jaaxy? I can't seem to find a way to do so.
