I'm trying to get the thumbnail of my featured image to display on my home.php (blog) page.
It is displaying fine, but when debugging mode is turned on, I get this error:
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wpflat/wp-content/themes/wpflat/content-blog.php on line 2
My code is
<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($page->id, 'thumbnail'); ?></a>
How do I solve this issue?

Reset to default 2I believe from your error that you are using this code inside the loop. You should be using the_post_thumbnail(). The code you are using is used outside the loop.
EDIT
It is always good practice to always first check if you have a thumbnail to display
So you should use
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()): ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink();?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail'); ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
