Unique Header Image for Each Post (2)

Set the header image as featured image into post and write the following code under your single page template:

global $post;
$post_thumbnail_id = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘featured_image’, true);
if ($post_thumbnail_id > 0) {
$attachment =& get_post($post_thumbnail_id);
echo ‘<img src=”‘ . $attachment->guid . ‘” alt=”” />’;
}

Then display title or further details of individual post.

You can use this too:

if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
  the_post_thumbnail();
}
<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

Thanks mate,
Your help led me to this:

loop-single.php

<?php if (has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
	<div id="post_header_img">
	<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
	<div>

<?php else :?>
<?php endif; ?>

	<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
        <?the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

It just weird how the <?the_post_thumbnail(); ?> has to be outside the if and else tag for the result I want… but it works.

You can now view a post with a featured image and without.
