    I am using QW with shortcode on index.php and the shortcode looks like this: [query slug=”test-query”].
    I can not find any solution how I can show the featured images of the posts, it only shows the title and the content.
    Can you please write me the steps what should I do to show the featured image, because I looked everywhere and as I can see everybody already knows how to display the image and there is no tutorial or quick tip on how to do it. ??
    Thank you

    Hi ppmakki,

    When editing a query, change the “Row Style” to “Fields”. Then in the center column (Fields), click “Add” and find the checkbox for “Featured Image”. Check that box and submit the form. Now you will be showing featured images, but only featured images.

    If you want more info about each post, add more Fields. Post Title, Post Content, Post Excerpt, or whatever you need. In the center column (Fields), click “Rearrange” to change what order the fields display in.

    Individual fields have different settings. For example, the Featured Image field will let you choose the size of the image on display.

    A really common use of fields would be like so:

    • Post Title: (link to post)
    • Featured Image: ( image style: thumbnail, link to post)
    • Post Excerpt: (apply the_content filter)

    That should get you going with fields. Once you setup your query, use CSS to style it (float featured image left or something), and you’re rockin’ and rollin’!

    Hope this helps, let me know if you run into any issues or have more questions.

    Thanks,
    Jonathan
