display images on homepage

Ask the theme provider for help and guidance on this…

It’s probably just a step to include a featured image but since it’s in the excerpt part of a page you might need to tweak the excerpt or edit the excerpt manually.

For that, the theme author may have a better, quicker solution.

Thanks Jnash, The theme provider never responds.

if the theme uses the WordPress function the_excerpt() and cooperates with its formatting, this might work with some code, added into functions.php (of a child theme):

//add the first image of the post content before the excerpt//
function excerpt_with_first_image( $html ) {
	 global $post, $posts;
	 $first_img = '';
	 $output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
	 if( isset( $matches[1] [0] ) )  {
	  	 $first_img_src = $matches [1] [0];
		 $first_img_html = '<img class="alignleft" src="' . $first_img_src . '" alt="" />'; 
		 $html = $first_img_html . $html; 
	}
	return $html;
}
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'excerpt_with_first_image' );

Thanks for the code Michael but I am pretty sure weaver overrides WP. Unfortunately any attempt I make at sending them a support question is met with an oops something went wrong, perhaps you need the paid version to get support. I would try another theme but I have spent so long getting my settings just right that I am reluctant to do so.

I just found that adding a featured image does the job on the homepage. Only thing is it also adds it to the post in a ridiculous position. Any way I can prevent the featured image from appearing on the homepage.

Thanks for trying to help
