How to make the cover photo also visible in the article

Hello!

Your website is hosted on wordpress.com, so you’ll be able to get support tailored to that platform specifically at https://en.forums.wordpress.com.

Your website theme is displaying the cover image (called featured image) on the homepage, but your theme does not display the featured image on the individual post pages. One solution would be to insert the image at the top of each of your articles.

Here’s a link that shows you how to add images to your posts.

Hope this helps!

Cool, that helps a lot, thank you Melinda. I had to delete the cover image, otherwise the image will be seen two times on the homepage (when i put the picture first, because I want it above the text). But as I have just 12 articles so far, it is not that much work and looks so much more “professionell”. ??
Now I just have to take care of the size of the pictures…

Thanks so much for your help @melindahelt. ??

I also wanted to note that while Penscratch doesn’t display featured images on individual posts, many themes in the WordPress.com theme repository do. If it’s important for your theme to display featured images on individual posts by default, you could consider switching.

Toujours, for example, is a nice minimal theme, similar to Penscratch, that does display featured images on individual posts. Twenty Fifteen is another you could consider. You could also use the filters at the top of the repository to narrow down a few other options:
