Featured Images

Hi there, Minnow does not have featured images. You can read more about the features on the Minnow Theme Showcase page.

You could add featured images to Mnnow though using a child theme. You can find out more here.

If you have not yet done so, I would suggest creating a child theme so that any customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme update.

Child Themes
Child Theme creation plugins

Here is a tutorial I found that might help as well.

Hi there,

I recently added a thumbnail function to my Minnow childtheme by copying add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); to my functions.php and by copying <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>to the loop in my index.php and single.php.

Works fine.

However, I wondered if it were possible to display the photo-credits of the thumbnail image in the actual thumbnail. Preferably at the bottom right of the image in a neat small font size.

Any solutions? I’m stuck…

Many thanks

jma_christenhusz – this would be probably be most easily handled by adding a credit yourself to the image in a graphics program before you upload it. Other methods are certainly possible – such as adding a custom field – but they are much more complicated. If you need further help, please start a new thread.
