Featured image not showing

Hi there,

I don’t think this is causing by the theme as GP simply takes your featured image and displays it using a core function (the_post_thumbnail()).

Have a look at this post as Tom mentioned a few things to check: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/featured-image-in-blog-posts-not-showing-up/

Let us know if this is helpful.

Hmm yea, I’m not seeing the HTML for featured images at all.

Just to confirm, are you adding them like this?: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-featured-images/

Thanks for your answers guys.
I just don’t mean the featured image of the single post (i added them now).
I mean the featured image of the page (contact). That is the static page I use for my postS (for now).

Ah, meta boxes (including core ones, like the WordPress featured image meta box) don’t work on index pages like the posts page, archives, categories etc..

Our Page Header add-on has an option to add a featured image to the Blog.

There’s also a way to do it with hooks if you’re interested.

Let me know if you’d like help with the hooks code ??

Hey Tom,
Yeah I’m very intersted in the hook!
And yes, I would appreciate some help with the code.
Thanks.

Cool, we can use the generate_after_header hook: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_after_header/

Something like:

add_action( 'generate_after_header','tu_add_blog_featured_image' );
function tu_add_blog_featured_image() { 
    // Bail if we're not on the blog
    if ( ! is_home() )
        return;
    ?>
    <div class="page-header-image grid-container grid-parent generate-page-header">
        <img src="URL TO YOUR BLOG FEATURED IMAGE" alt="" />
    </div>
<?php }

Thanks a lot Tom.
You made my day (again ?? )

Glad I could help! ??
