No need to apologize at all!

It works -perfectly-!

Thank you so very much for your patience and your very clear, concise explanations. After some tinkering with alignment I’ve got it settled where I like it for the time being and it looks pretty exactly how I wanted it to.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I think we’re on the same page but different paragraphs, Kathryn. I’m trying to get the front page to show the image, not the individual post pages. That’s totally my fault–I could have, and should have, been far clearer.

If you look at https://art.lunarius.net, there’s no featured image and no “Hi there!” text to be found. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88630699/havewant.jpg

Is there some way to do that?

Hello!

Yes, that is the site. I was hesitant to post it since I didn’t know if it was necessary and I didn’t want to spam.

Yes, I have indeed. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88630699/sunchild_theme_op.png

Done. It has been added and I’ve left it in place. On my end I’m seeing no sign of change at all.

Thank you, again, for helping me with this. I’m positive this is going to come down to a silly error on my end and while I hope I don’t waste both our time, I want to make sure to thank you profusely just in case.

Hello!

Yes, I do; I apologize for not mentioning that from the outset.

I’m finding that when I make edits to the copy of content-single.php with the child theme active that these edits don’t actually show up at all. I’ve used both

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" >
   <?php the_post_thumbnail('large'); ?>
   </a>

and code for the thumbnail lifted directly from the content-two-col.php file.

I’ve even taken chunks of content out and it makes no difference. The child theme is active; I’ve been checking and double checking that, but it doesn’t seem to make any impact.

I’ve tried it across browsers to rule out any pesky cache issues (though I did clear the cache first to be sure such a step was necessary).

I’m really not at all sure what to do next; I’m sorry not to report good news!
