Sudden header Image Issue in WP 4.4

Guys sorry about the issue. New version of church theme (v 0.7.5) has been uploaded for review.

The change was in church_banner function in functions.php.
Since it might take a couple days before update notification appear on your WordPress admin, pou can download the latest version from the link above, or replace your church_banner function with .

function church_banner() {

?>
	<div class="banner">
		<div class="wrap">
			<?php
			if ( !is_front_page() && get_theme_mod( 'church_header_home' ) ) {
					echo '';
			} else {
				// get title
				$id = get_option('page_for_posts');
				if ( is_day() || is_month() || is_year() || is_tag() || is_category() || is_singular('post' ) || is_home() ) {
					$the_title = get_the_title($id);
				} else {
					$the_title = get_the_title();
				}

				if (( 'posts' == get_option( 'show_on_front' )) && (is_day() || is_month() || is_year() || is_tag() || is_category() || is_singular('post' ) || is_home())) {
						church_get_header_image();
				} elseif(is_home() || is_singular('post' ) ) {
					if ( has_post_thumbnail($id) ) {
						echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $id, 'full' );
					} else {
						church_get_header_image();
					}
				} elseif ( has_post_thumbnail() && is_singular('page' ) ) {
						the_post_thumbnail();
				} else {
					church_get_header_image();
				}
			}
			?>
		</div><!-- .wrap -->
  	</div><!-- .banner -->
<?php
}

Let me know how it goes. Thanks & Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for your response and this fix. I went ahead and downloaded this new Church Theme (v 0.7.5) and installed it. I then added a featured image to my last post and … BINGO … the issue’s gone. The featured image no longer replaces the header image on my home page. Thank you so much, Han !

Oddly, when I upgraded to .7.5, my dk image rotator widget stopped working. I use it to rotate header images in the main page by putting the widget in the banner area ( https://www.ankenyucc.org ). I’m not 100% sure it’s related, but given the change was in the banner….

Thanks, Han, for such an excellent theme. I appreciate the work you have done for all of us in low-budget church land.
