    esmi, below is the URL for my pastebin, which has a copy of the index.php file.

    Thank you

    Please let me know if I need to look somewhere else for the “Code from the Template.”
    Thank you

    Is this the “Code from the Template”?

    Here is the URL for my pastebin code.

    Thanks for the link on how to post the code. Where do I go to find the “Code from the Template”? I don’t see a menu item for “Template” in the “Dashboard.”

    If you go to our blog’s home page ( https://www.bachcroftblog.com ), wouldn’t you be able to see the source code for that page by selecting View>Source Code in your browser? I guess that’s not what you were referring to that you need to see.

    Sorry, I’m new to WordPress, and I’m looking at the menu items in the “Dashboard.” Please tell me where to go to find the “Code from the Template.” (I’m assuming I would simply copy that code.) Then, please tell me exactly where to paste it. In other words, am I supposed to click on one of the links above this box–the “code” link, for example?

    By the way, what does “Put code in between backticks” mean?

    Thank you,
    Jean

    Veraxus and Chip, the problem I am having with Featured Images is similar to the problem Petra had, I think (and it looks as if you two would know the solution).

    Here is the way the front page of our blog appears now.
    https://www.bachcroftblog.com/

    Unlike Petra, I don’t want an image in the header. That’s the difference; or header should remain a text-only header. We want a “magazine look,” so we want a new large “featured image” to appear when we post (under a specific catagory) once a month (sort of like publishing a new issue each month with a new cover). Our large “featured image” is supposed to appear on the left (next to the text widget on the right), under the title for the post. It doesn’t.

    I’m using “Structure Theme” by Organic Themes. I simply want the theme to do what the theme’s description says it will do–display the “featured image” that I upload in the edit post screen. It worked the first time I added a post to the blog (but I deleted it, thinking something was wrong because, originally, I didn’t want the thumbnail in the post to have the exact same image as the one appearing in the “featured image” screen). Now, I can’t get a “Featured Image” to appear at all, no matter what I do.

    As you can see, the space for the image is created, but the image doesn’t appear. Can you please tell me what to do?

    We were thinking we’d buy the premium version for our web site, but not if we can’t even get the simple blog version to work.

    My first look at a WordPress file, from the inside, occurred four days ago, so at this point I’m still looking for answers to very basic questions. If at some point I genuinely believe that I have acquired some level of expertise with WP files, I–almost undoubtedly–would be be quite willing to share that expertise. Until that time, I will continue to do the only sensible thing–experiment and look for answers.

    Good day, dear!

    Esmi, had you been reading carefully, perhaps you would have noticed that in response to the question “Have you posted in https://structuretheme.com/forum/ ?”I wrote “No. I didn’t know there is a https://structuretheme.com/forum/. However, now I will.”

    I am quite well aware of what Codex is, and I made absolutely no mention of the frequency of updates. My point was that the depth and quality of what is written could stand improvement. Never reject constructive criticism. That is what pushes and pulls us to grow and improve.

    Yes. This is the theme: https://structuretheme.com/

    I’m not quite sure what you mean by “What code . . . ?” I’m not working in the edit screen. I’m simply populating the fields in “Add New Post” as I would for any other blog post in WP. Then I’m selecting “Upload/Insert,” navigating to the .jpg image file on my computer, uploading it, populating the pop-up screen, selecting “Use as featured image” (I’ve also tried different combination of this with the other options.), save and publish. I’ve tried every combination possible, as far as I can tell.

    No. I didn’t know there is a https://structuretheme.com/forum/. However, now I will.

    This part is me ranting, so you can skip it.
    Since I first signed up for wordpress with a host server a week ago, I’ve been browsing through and reading through the CODEX files. In my opinion that documentation is so scant it is an absolute embarrassment, or certainly should be. Nothing is described thoroughly and in detail. Everything is written as if the writers assume “Well, you get what I mean. If not, I’m sure you’ll catch on–sooner or later.”

    WordPress is a marketing vehicle, so one would think that the individuals who stand to benefit should take the documentation more seriously than they apparently do.
