Adding header to secondary blog page…

  • Hi!

    On the website I’m launching using wordpress I have a static front page and a secondary blog page, in addition to a few other pages. For most pages I have been able to easily add different headers by adding them as featured images. For some reason, this doesn’t seem to be possible with the blog page. Does anybody know why and whether there’s a way around it? I do believe I’ve tried using all the available page templates.

    I am using the Goran theme.

  • Hi professorpitfire,

    the blog page in WordPress isn’t a regular page, but an archive, unless you mean something else than the Posts page which you can set under Settings => Reading in your WordPress dashboard.

    In case you’ve a question regarding a particular page template of the Goran theme, you could try the theme related support forum: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/goran

    Hi MH THemes,

    thank you for your reply! You are correct that by blog page I refer to the posts page as set in settings->reading or the customizer. I did not know that the posts page is considered an archive, but I am unsure of how that affects what headers/featured images you can or cannot have.

    I have set a featured image for all pages, and when I’m in the page editor it shows the correct featured image on every page. However, in viewing mode the featured image on the posts page just doesn’t show up. For the life of me I cannot understand why this is. It seems to me like there would be no valid reason for not enabling featured images for the posts page. And it worked perfectly when I first launched the site and the posts page was by default the front page.

    However, in viewing mode the featured image on the posts page just doesn’t show up.

    This is because whenever you set a page as Posts page in WordPress, it won’t be handled as regular page anymore, but as an archive that shows your blog posts. Whatever content or featured image you might have added to that page will be ignored.
