  Hi there,

  I have tired plenty of time to have only featured images on my homepage, however with no success. The homepage shows all the photos that I uploaded in all the posts. Could anyone tell me how to resolve the problem?

  Many thanks

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

  The theme on this blog http://benclyang.wordpress.com/ is Minnow and as you can read here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/minnow/ it does not have the featured images feature.

  The theme on this blog https://bigpotatoes.wordpress.com/ is Oxygen and as you can see here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/ it does have the featured images feature.

  In Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page
  Page templates can be set under the “Page Attributes” section on the page editor screen. For more information on Page Attributes:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/

  Showcase page template
  When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template. …

  Post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide, unless you make the post Sticky to show off in the featured slider, in which case they’re 750 pixels wide. Keep in mind: if you mark a post as Sticky but the featured image is less than 750 pixels wide, then it won’t display in the slider and will still disappear from the river of posts.

  Please be aware that you cannot crop the sticky post thumbnails.

  Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
  Regular post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide

  If you don’t see the page attributes module then make sure that you don’t have it hidden in your screen options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

  I use the oxygen theme for my blog https:// ifolduk.wordpress.com
  and cannot work out how to get the featured images working. I don’t see “Location” under the “Featured Image” box. I can’t see “Location” as an option in the “Screen Options”. If I edit a page and go to Page Attribute – Template I only have 3 options: Default, Full width page and Showcase page. I’m confused. I want the featured image I have assigned to a post to be displayed in the featured content area below the header image.
