Using featured images on Home page

Hey please post your site link and tell theme name..

The site is: https://www.hamburch-spots.de but it is currently in maintenance mode. Theme: “Untiled”

hey, i see your theme at WordPress.com, but they have already featured image slider on both Front page and also on Post page….!!! Are you using custom Home page??

Yes, I only use custom home page. The target is, to get a Static Text on the home page with the blog article below the text. And also a page with only blog articles.

blackhawk3000 – when you say you want to use featured images on your static homepage, could you clarify whether you’re referring to the featured-image slider? Or to a single featured image associated with the specific static page you’re setting for your homepage?

Since pages in Untitled support featured images, if you do want to display one on your static homepage, you should be able to upload a featured image on your selected static page and it will be displayed in the header area.

To assign the page to your front page, be sure to select it under Settings > Reading:

If you’d like to instead get the featured slider working on your static homepage, it’s a bit more complicated but it can be done.

First, you’d need to set up a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

Once your child theme is set up, create a plain-text file and name it front-page.php and copy the contents of single.php from your parent theme into this new file.

Next, add this new line just below get_header();

get_template_part( 'slider' );

You’d then follow the rest of the instructions for setting up the slider as usual, which you’ll find in the readme.txt file in the theme folder.

Let me know if you need further help with either option.

Hi,

thanks a lot. Know it works!

I wanted to displayed my blog posts on the home screen in the header.

But I couldn’t find “get_header();” in the file “single.php”. I insert “get_header();” in the file “page.php” below “get_header();”.

thanks a lot. Know it works!

Great!

But I couldn’t find “get_header();” in the file “single.php”.

It’s on line 15.

I insert “get_header();” in the file “page.php” below “get_header();”.

As long as you got the results you want, I think that’s fine.

My suggestion was to create a new page template called front-page.php which would just be applied on the front page.

Modifying page.php the way I described above will display the slider on every static page, not just the homepage, but that’s fine if that’s what you want. ??
