Featured image in posts is dark: how to change?

Hi @neville. It sounds like you are describing the color overlay in the featured image block.

You can adjust or remove that overlay under the block’s style settings, as seen in the screenshot below:

Would this make sense? Were you referring to this?

@mrfoxtalbot spot on! That’s exactly it. Thank you very much, Alvaro, solved ??

@mrfoxtalbot would you be so kind as to tell me where I can find this? I checked from wp dashboard and also from the content block on the page itself but I don’t see the option… Would be greatly appreciated! ?? (I am currently in theme twenty twenty-three)

Hey, @tim983! You can will find this setting under Appearance > Editor in your dashboard or by clicking on “Edit Site” when viewing the site if you are logged in.

Once there, you will want to find the corresponding template. You can take a look at this doc for more details. I would also recommend using the List View feature to navigate and identify your blocks more easily.

I hope that helps!

@mrfoxtalbot Thanks so much! I was able to remove the overlay from featured images but I cannot find the featured image on the homepage… Weird but true. This is what I can see (print screen)

Hi @tim983. It looks like you are editing a page but you want to edit the page template instead. Click at the top, where it says “Coaching: Better…” and search for “Page Template”. Once there, you should be able to edit the featured image at the top and remove the overlay.

Ideally, and for future questions, it is better if you open a separate support thread so that the thread title matches the issue at hand more accurately (and also, so that we can mark them as resolved separately).

Let us know how that goes!

@mrfoxtalbot You have no idea how grateful I am! I would not in a millions years have found this myself ??

Thanks!

Ps I will open a seperate support thread next time!
