  I’ve added a blog post blog in my page with a featured image. It displays correctly when I’m editing the page, but once the page is published the featured image (and category for some reason) disappear. Only the blog title, author name, date and read more button appear in the published version. I’m using the Dyad 2 theme. How can I get the featured image to appear in my published page?

  Hi –

  I see multiple sites on your account. Which one are you inquiring about?

  Hi. The SPF Maker Club Website (https://spfmakerclub.wordpress.com/), specifically this page (https://spfmakerclub.wordpress.com/spf-maker-camp-online/). You can see that near the top I’ve added the Blog Post Block, but it shows up sans featured image. Thanks in advance.

  Can you confirm that each of those posts has a featured image set? I think Dyad-2 automatically picks an image for you if you don’t have one set, but I don’t think the Posts block can do that.

  Yes, each of the posts has a featured image. I can even see them show up when I’m editing the page, but once I try to view the edits they go away.

  Thank you for setting this site up! As a mom who works from home I know that y’all are really helping folks with these ideas. Great job!

  I think that I’m seeing the same thing as y’all. When I am viewing the page in the editing mode there’s a featured image behind the post title as expected. See here: https://d.pr/i/q0B8iE

  But, on the front end of the site those images aren’t being rendered properly. See here: https://d.pr/i/qQLoaY

  Please let me know which browser you are using.

  I don’t think the column setup on that page has anything to do with it.

  Try using the display post shortcode on a test page and see if your images come through. https://wordpress.com/support/display-posts-shortcode/

  Once I hear back I will dig a little deeper to see if I can figure it out.

  Thank you! That means a lot :)

  I just tried using the display post shortcode with a thumbnail (posted on this page: https://spfmakerclub.wordpress.com/register) and that works! I see the featured images show up.

  I’m using Chrome.

  Hi there,

  I’m checking the site and things are looking good! All the featured images are displaying from my end as I view from Chrome:

  

  Everything still looking good on your side?
