Don’t know….you are way into more PHP coding than I am (yet).

Still think there’s a plugin among the thousand of plugins that would do the job. But if this is a learning experiment, that’s different…..

PARTIAL SUCCESS! Yes, I didn’t have Excerpt and Thumbnail checked; and that did it. I will also go look for the CSS for front page image size, and change that…and also, will comment out the featured image on the post page! Thanks for setting me on the right path!!!

Hi Kathylene….I will try that later today. Yes, what you show on your front page is what I want. Maybe I don’t have Excerpt and Thumbnail selected,and I will check those.

Thanks.

A further thought: Is the problem fixable from this page? This is the content.php template. Thanks.

hmmm….what do you want on your home page?

This plugin might help…but I don’t know if it’s been updated to 3.9.1

Plugin here:

I think what you may need to do is set your Front Page to your blog posts. Don’t set it to a static page. I don’t think you need to edit your php files just yet. Look for settings in your Dashboard for reading and see if there’s something there for your posts. Go through all of your settings so that you really understand them.

Hope this helps, but I’m a newbie too…

Thanks; I’ve tried it and am at least learning how to “comment out” code!

However, what I want is ONLY the Thumbnail to be on the post, and also with the post when it’s on the Front Page. I don’t want any featured images at all. If you take a look at this page, you’ll see that all I want to do is have the small picture also be shown on the Front Page:

Hope someone’s got an answer! Thanks.

Thanks! I’m anxious to try it but this is what the theme “content-single.php” file says:

<?php
/**
 * @package Blue Planet
 */
?>

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
	<header class="entry-header">
		<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

		<div class="entry-meta">
			<?php blue_planet_posted_on(); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
	</header><!-- .entry-header -->

	<div class="entry-content">
		<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
			<div class="bp-thumbnail-wrapper">
					<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
			</div>
		<?php } ?>

		<?php the_content(); ?>
		<?php
			wp_link_pages( array(
				'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'blue-planet' ),
				'after'  => '</div>',
			) );
		?>
	</div><!-- .entry-content -->

	<footer class="entry-meta">
		<?php
			/* translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma */
			$category_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'blue-planet' ) );

			/* translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma */
			$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'blue-planet' ) );

			if (!empty($category_list)) {
				echo '<span class="bp-category">'.$category_list.'</span>';
			}
			if (!empty($tag_list)) {
				echo '<span class="bp-tags">'.$tag_list.'</span>';
			}

		?>

		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'blue-planet' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
	</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
</article><!-- #post-## -->

I’m not a PHP person by any means, though am trying to learn. Any suggestions how to modify this file?

Thanks for any help you can give me…

Thanks, but that’s not what I need. I need each post on the Front page to display a little image…about the size of a thumbnail..in order to add some pictures to the “Front Page” since the slider is not appropriate for this site. I’m thinking it must be something in the loop or the css that may need to be changed.

For me, “Featured Image” just takes my small picture and makes it huge and above the post. I just want a little picture left aligned within each post, which I’ve done. Just need it to come over to the Front Page that way.

Thanks!

Thanks. Found a plugins that’s working well for me at the moment so may continue with that for a while. But this is good info to have.
