BLOG POST FEATURED IMAGE ON HOMEPAGE

Me, too!

the featured image should by default appear in the posts list, however, it would be full width above the content…

do you have a featured image set for each of the three top posts?

please post a link to your site to illustrate your problem.

correction:
the featured image does not appear by default;

to have the featured image in the front page blog section, you might need to edit /template-parts/post/content-excerpt.php in a child theme, and add this:

	<?php if ( '' !== get_the_post_thumbnail() && is_front_page() && get_option( 'page_on_front' ) ) : ?>
		<div class="post-thumbnail">
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
				<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'twentyseventeen-featured-image' ); ?>
			</a>
		</div><!-- .post-thumbnail -->
	<?php endif; ?>

between the code of the title and the entry summary.

you might need CSS to align the image.

Thanks so much for this!

I’ve been messing about with the content-front-page-panels.php file for ages trying to solve this on the TwentySeventeen theme, until I found your content-excerpt.php suggestion.

Saved me lots of headaches!!
