I’ve since solved this problem with an alternate plug in

I’ve since solved the problem with a plug in.

Dave. Thank you so much! Now I understand in case, I need to go another route, or encounter some other problem that sends me chasing off onto another theme.

New information is good. Thank you again very much for your time and help.

My above post was too old to edit and I’ve resolved the situation. You’ll probably groan – I suspect people like me drive people who know what they’re doing crazy.

I think this morning it became a non issue. I went to answer your question, and then put a paragraph in on what prompted this crazy binge. In the process, I thought I’d give you my URL because I wasn’t sure what I’d left on it last night.

I’d had someone modify a theme so I could use it on a couple mini sites, and when I decided to do a main blog, I downloaded the original theme so the date etc would show up. In the process, an edit tag showed.

I just learned this morning that if I’m not logged in to the site and going through VISIT SITE, that tag doesn’t show up. (I know just enough to be dangerous, yes?) So I can use the same theme as my others, unmodified, and just chalk about all the wasted time to….experience.

Thank you so much for your help and answer to my question, Dave.

Thank you, Dave. It might be a bit beyond me, so I’ll see if I can clarify. I think what I’m talking about it the featured image. That is, I put an image at the very beginning of my post – but I do it by putting the cursor before the first letter, and then using the Add Media (or whatever it says) button. Then I pull it from the gallery or my computer, and it shows up when I publish or update the post.

So in my naivite, I thought that looking at the demo, if there was an image next to the post there, then the theme would pick up my image and show it in the same place as it is in the demo. Usually to the left of the excerpt, or on top of the excerpt or full post, or with the first line to the right of the image and the rest of it underneath.

Not so. My post shows up, but not the image. I’ve looked for use thumbnails, or something I remember from my WP blog attached to my earlier Joomla site – but it’s as if I know just enough to THINK I know what I”m doing.

The CSS Editor has so many templates on the right, I don’t even know how to find something – though I’m taken a stab at sensible sounding places and then scrolling or control F – that’s where I need to look, yes? Editor?
Thank you, Dave.
