No blog page featured image?

That’s probably how it’s supposed to be. The other pages show their featured image because it is called within their page template. However, usually the page_for_posts uses the index.php template and it does not call that page’s featured image. It often does call the featured image for every post displayed on that page.

I have this question too.

The demo (https://modernthemes.net/demo/?theme=Sensible) is showing an image in the banner on the Blog page – the same image as the Front page hero image. But on the downloaded version there is only a block of colour. I can change the colour, but I can’t see how to replace the colour with a picture.

Putting a featured image into the Blog page does not help. (Edit: It doesn’t help to put a featured image into the Home page either.)

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

I’m still trying to make this work. I’ve been reviewing questions and answers that relate to this issue in other themes on the WP support forums, but it seems like every theme has a different solution. There a lot of suggestions involving changing code in the header.php and index.php files, or creating and editing code in a child theme, but nothing that seems easy or straightforward for someone unused to coding.

I have also tried a couple of plug-ins – Custom Header Images and Unique Headers – but neither seem to work with Sensible.

Very frustrating.

It would be nice to get a response to this issue from the theme designer(s).

So, now it’s possible to set a blog post page image from the Customizer. Thank you for that.

I think this issue is now resolved.

Wait, have they fixed it in a recent update?

Cappienon – it seems so.

Look in the customizer under Blog Layout, there’s now a box for Posts Page Image.

It works for me – hope for you too!

TheSupercargo, that’s great!! I updated the theme, found the Posts Page Image options, everything’s working well. I had given up on the issue, so I’m very grateful to you for sticking around and posting about the update! ??

Cappienon, you’re very welcome!

I’ve had so much help from different people on the WP forums over the years, I’m delighted to be able to give a little back.
