How to get featured images to work on blog using Magazine theme

[Alex NavasParticipant Post count: 5]

I set up the blog page to show excerpts and it looks like that’s working fine. The next thing I set up under settings is using the featured image sized at 150×150, however, on the blog page, there are no featured images displaying, only the first image that shows up in the post which is sized totally different for each post.

I added the images to the Featured Image section within the post, but they aren’t showing up right. How can I get it working correctly?

Here’s the site: http://www.iceanow.org/blog

Thanks for your help.

Alex: Did you get the featured image to work? I’m not sure if we have the same problem, but I’ve got a blog page that shows the thumbnails with the excerpts, but not on the post itself. It’s supposed to show on both, isn’t it?

@alexnavas, do you have both a featured image and a image in the beginning of your content?

@jodzeee, no featured images do not automatically show up on the post. It’s only a thumbnail image used on the home, blog, and archive pages. If you want the featured image to show up “automatically” when you add a featured image, I have a instructions on how to accomplish this. Just write back here and I can post the link.

Yes, I would like to see the instructions. Thank you!

Here is the link to the instruction in a text file. The originator noted in there is not operational anymore. I am glad I copied these before their website went down.

Thank you! I was able to get it to work, but with some modification to enabling support and setting the size (the thumbnail code didn’t work for me and I remembered seeing this in the Codex):

**  Enabling Support and setting size for Post Thumbnails   */
if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 300, 200 );
}

Then I added this from your instructions:

/** Add Featured Image to Posts - the Webonanza style  */
add_action( 'genesis_after_post_title', 'child_do_single_post_image' );
function child_do_single_post_image() {
if( is_single() )
genesis_image( array( 'size' => 'post-thumbnail', 'attr' => array( 'class' => 'alignright post-image' ) ) );
}

Thanks again, I really appreciate the help and quick response!

@jodzeee, you’re welcome. Glad it worked out for you. I hope @alexnavas was able to resolve his issue.
