Hi there,
Our support page provides instructions on how to set your blog up more like a book with the ability to post in chapters. You can find instructions here:
Please let me know if this addresses your issue or if you need any additional assistance.
Thank you!

Thanks. I have pages set up as the instructions describe.
The problem is that the header image shows up on every page and I want to use different images as cover images for each chapbook. I can’t or else I lose the header image…

I have a similar question/problem.
I simply want some of my pages not to have any header at all so that the page content text starts at the top of the screen.Is this possible? I run the Twenty-ten scheme.

Hi there,
For the image you have up currently, instead of using it as a header image, what you can do is make it a featured image on your static front page so that it won’t display anywhere else on your site. Then, you can use a different featured image on each page for your chapbooks. Our support page provides instructions on how to add featured images to posts/pages:
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

What I said above applies to you as well. For the pages where you want an image to display, you can add a featured image to that page instead of the header image. That way, for pages where you want nothing, all you have to do is not add a featured image to that page.
Let me know if that works. Thanks!

If you purchase the premium plan, You can also use CSS via the custom design upgrade to show and hide your header image on specific pages, if you prefer. Let me know if you are interested in hiding the header via CSS and I can help you find snippets for your particular theme.
Thanks!

Brilliant!
It’s so easy to get hidebound on these things – thinking you’ve got to have a header when you first set up the site.Simple in the end: remove the header from Appearances and then give any pages where you want one a featured header.
Hadn’t thought of it until your reply. Thanks :)

Oops!
Just run into a problem with these manoeuvres.I’ve got a static homepage with a featured header.
I tried to put a different featured header on the Post Page (“News”). First time after updating it didn’t show.
So I removed it, put it in again, saved, but it still isn’t showing.Any ideas? thanks

Hi there @wivstmary,
Your post/blog page isn’t a static page, it’s a dynamic page, so it can only display the regular header image – not a featured image. In your case, since you have no header image currently, it will show nothing. However, each post on the post page can display a featured image.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

I should perhaps have explained in case it helps anyone else.
To get round the impossibility of having a header on the dynamic page, I put the header image I had wanted there in a sticky post and voila! Not quite a header but good enough.
I still wanted some featured headings on other pages but found that unsatisfactory because the tabs were hopping up and down from page to page, depending on whether they had a header or not – not nice.
So instead of using featured headings on any other pages, I did the same thing: inserted header sized images at the top of those pages. -
