  Hi – I am using Book Lite theme and am having trouble with the featured image on my blog page – although I have changed it in the CMS, it is not pulling through to the site – it has done on all other pages, but just not on the blog page. Any ideas?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, it seems your site is page-based.

  Can you provide a direct link to the blog/posts page so we can have a look?

  Hi there
  It might be that you need to refresh the page in your browser. If that does not work, try clearing the cache. Both of those procedures are outlined in the following document.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
  Also note the observation regarding Internet Explorer

  If that does not work, if you would, please give us a link to the page in question and a description of both the image you are seeing and what the image should be.

  best,
  dave

  The page link is http://wartime kitchen.wordpress.com/blog/

  The image I see is a hill/sea landscape, but I’ve set it to my wartime kitchen banner image.

  Thanks for your help.

  I see it now. The blog page is not in your menu so i got confused as i went through the site looking at all the pages information and seeing nothing that did not belong. That is why i recommended you refresh the page and clear the browser cache and cookies.

  So since this is not the case, when you insert the featured image, do you press the update button at the top left (i occasionally forget to do this)? When you try to navigate away from the page, is there a box asking you if you want to leave without saving the changes?

  Sorry! Because it’s not showing what I want, I’ve left it out of the menu.

  I’ve saved it and when I’ve gone back in and checked, the correct image is showing in the CMS as featured image, it literally it just not showing on the site.. confused.com!!!

  Hi again, thanks for the direct link.

  Did you upload the image in the Customizer as the site’s header image? The blog/posts page takes its header from there. See here: https://wordpress.com/theme/book-lite

  Let us know if you need more help with this.
