  Hi,

  Currently there’s no way to get a cover image / main image that I’m aware of using TwentyNineteen.

  … is there any workaround until I upgrade to premium? Aside from the blog title / logo, a way to code in or apply an image?

  Hey there,

  By cover image if you mean header image, no Twenty Nineteen doesn’t provide that feature. But there are a lot of other themes which do.
  Here’s a link to it:

  You can switch to some other theme and use the header image feature of it.

  Since your homepage is set to display your latest posts, you cannot set a featured image for your front page.

  As a workaround, if you set your homepage to a static page you can add a featured image for your homepage, it would show up as a cover image like this:

  But if you want your homepage to be your “latest posts” your best option would be to switch to a different theme.

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
