  I have selected a featured image for a page on my free site. However, it is not showing up on the page. It shows no error and there is no empty space. No matter what photo I upload it will not show up. I use the Ever After free theme and am a WordPress beginner. Thanks for any help!

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

  Featured Post Slider
  Featuring posts in a slider on your home page is easy. You just need sticky posts with Featured Images. Every sticky post you have (up to ten posts) that has a Featured Image (at least 850 pixels wide, 400pixels height) attached will show up in the scrolling marquee.

  See:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  The theme as written doesn’t seem to support featured images, but it’s not hard to add if you are willing to edit the theme using the Theme Editor, or manually. You need to go into masthead.php and replace

  <img class="custom-header-image" src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo get_custom_header()
  ->width; ?>" height="<?php echo get_custom_header()->height; ?>" alt="" />

  with

  <?php
      if ( is_singular() && has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) :
        echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'full', 'class=header-image' );
      else : ?>
                          <img class="custom-header-image" src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo get_custom_header()
  ->width; ?>" height="<?php echo get_custom_header()->height; ?>" alt="" />
                             <?php endif; ?>

  Sorry, ignore the backslash at the end of the long line, that’s just my text editor being confused.
