Featured Image

Unfortunately for the “Lite” version, the featured image is only on the top. The pro has a side option. But because you are using the Senses Lite theme, one possibility (which I know at least one other person has done) is to insert their featured image as an actual inserted image into the first part of their post and aligned it left instead of using the Featured Image function. Just make sure it’s above the Read More tag in your post editor.

So that might work out for you.

Hi @kristenbeeler,

You can do that by manipulating the CSS of the templates.

Thank you! I am sorry I did not get back in here to reply. I am wondering, if I download the Pro theme, while I have to recreate my whole site? Meaning all of what I have set up, custom CSS, colors, etc will not transfer over to the new theme?

If I do manipulate the CSS theme for this as Cecilia mentioned, how is that done?

Hi Kristenbeeler…unfortunately when you install and activate a different theme, free or pro, WordPress will see it as a new theme activation, so anything in the Customizer settings will need to be redone. I know some have done that but made notes of what changes they’ve made and re-entered them in the new theme activated.

However, with what Cecilia suggested, could be done, but it may require some additional work to accommodate responsive viewing on smaller devices. But if you would like to try this, create some custom CSS like this:

To move the featured image container:

.top-featured-right .featured-image-wrapper {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 30px;
}

To move the summary container:

.top-featured-right	.entry-summary {
   overflow: hidden;
}

The first part moves the image to the left and adds a margin to the right. The second code part moves the summary content up to the right of the image.

I see you are using Jetpack, so you can use the Edit CSS feature to create your custom CSS with. This way, when there are theme updates, you won’t lose your changes.
