  I’d give it another try and make sure the image you upload for your header is sized 1040 × 250 pixels. Maybe it was something about the image you uploaded earlier?

  When you visit your Media Library, can you see the image you just uploaded? Is it even making it into the Media Library?

  i can see the pic into the media library. but there is another thing. I set the settings that it shows a summary and not the whole article. But it stil shows the whole article..

  Uh oh, I see you deleted your site. I had similar problems with the summary selection using Adelle before I realized that only certain themes will show summaries or excerpts. Adelle is not one of those themes. Adelle will always show the full post unless you make use of the More tag in your post.

  Themes that utilize excerpts are listed in the link below (hat tip to @timethief and WordPress.com staff)

  Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. Here are the themes that do provide that feature > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410

  Hi Wendy, just as Susan mentioned, only certain themes display featured images and only some themes display excerpts on the blog page.

  The “More” tag is a great workaround for themes that display the full post, as Susan suggested.

  I know you’ve already deleted your site, but if you’d like to give it another go and need help choosing another theme, just let me know!
