Featured Image on Single Posts

    I’d like to have my featured images show on the actual post page as well as the index page. I found this question asked previously –

    Featured Image not displaying on the post pages

    This solution only places a featured image inside the text of the post. I would like to display the featured image just as it is in the index, above the title. Is this possible?

    Thanks!

  • Hi @hazyd,

    Sure thing! To achieve what you want, first follow the initial steps that Kathryn set out in the post you linked to:

    • Create a child theme using the guidance here.
    • Copy Fictive’s content-single.php file to your child theme’s directory.

    Next, find the following line in your child theme’s file:

    <?php if ( '' != get_the_post_thumbnail() && 'image' == $format ) : ?>

    The && ‘image’ == $format part of this line is checking whether your post has the image post format assigned to it and only displaying a featured image if that check returns true. We can remove this check in order for the featured image to display at the top of all your posts:

    <?php if ( '' != get_the_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>

    Can you give that a try and let me know how you get on?
