@wpcoderguy I did figure it out. I found a piece of coding that had ‘false’ within it. When I changed it to ‘true’, then it didn’t pull the feature image as a header and instead kept the same one as the index page. I had to change that code on both the single post and single page php files.

I don’t know of another way. I wish I did, because I just went thru and changed the coding on every single post on my site because I found a better way to display my image. It is time consuming, but well worth it.

The more I code, the more I learn, and the better my site becomes.

You will probably have to do it for each and every one.

In the dashboard click on settings then reading. You can select how you want your homepage to be. Your latest post or a fixed post. You can even choose a fixed page or post.

To arrange the top menu go to Appearance>Menus

Then under “menu structure” hover your mouse over the one you want to move. The four cornered pointer will show up. Drag and drop it either up or down till you get them in the order you want.

Sidebar links may be alphabetical unless you set up a custom menu. Then once again you can do it the same way.

Hope this helps.

Are you wanting the image to act as a hot link to the article to be read?

If so just add this code

<a href="the url you want to link to"><img src="the image url" /></a>

SoManyCrafts… the easiest way is to use the TEXT widget. Then just add your coding into that widget.

I’ve done the same thing on my sidebar.

The easiest way to do it is not put a title on that page. WordPress will accept it being blank and just assign a number for the url.

I did the same thing for my sticky post on my site

There is no post (or in your case page) header at the beginning and I am able to format it to look like I want.

I added a banner image and then my welcome text under that.

You have some coding that is messed up. Your coding is …

<a<br />
                  href="https://www.herfitnesshut.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Lacey1.jpg"<br />
                  title=""<br />
                                  rel="prettyPhoto[]"<br />
                >

And it should look like

<a href="https://www.herfitnesshut.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Lacey1.jpg" title="" rel="prettyPhoto[]"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.herfitnesshut.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Lacey1.jpg?w=600" alt="Lacey1" style="max-width: 180px; " title="Click here to enlarge." data-recalc-dims="1"/></a>

The <br/> is line breaks and you don’t want those in your linking code

find this code in your style.css

body {
    font-size: 87.5%;
    line-height: 1.5;
    font-family: PT Serif, Georgia, serif;
    color: #797979;
    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; /* Fix for webkit rendering */
    -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
    -ms-word-wrap: break-word;
    word-wrap: break-word;
}

Then change color: #797979; to color: #000000;

Keep in mind that unless you make a child theme with these changes then anytime the theme is updated you will loose these changes and have to go back and re-do them. It’s best to make the changes in a child theme.

Tina’s right, and yes Tina it is part of the free version. On your “post page” under the “categories” section is “featured image”. Click the link that says set feature image. Choose what you want, and volia…. you now have thumbnails on your excerpts.

As for the white above the images. I had the same problems. I finally found the code that was causing it. I tried to disable it in my child theme but was unable, so I just deleted it completely out of the main theme since I would never use it. Here is the code your looking for in the style.css file.

.entry-content img {
    position: relative;
    padding: 5px 0;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0,0,0,.15);
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0,0,0,.15);
    box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0,0,0,.15);
}

<a href="insert link url here"><img src="https://wateringhope.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/badge-small.jpg"></a>

Alex thanks for your reply. I only want to disable them for the sticky post. Not for all the other posts.

Is there a way to just disable for the sticky?

I’ve got a child theme. How do I tweak what I’m after?
