  I set featured images on my last four blog entries – three of them are displaying, but one of them won’t display. I have tried deleting it and resetting it, as well as uploading a new copy of the image trying to use that, as well as uploading a different image. I do hit “update” after each time I try to reset the image.

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

  When it comes to Featured image display dimensions are critical. The featured image works best with images at least 588 wide.

  Thanks! I wondered if it was something like that but couldn’t figure out what the dimensions should be.

  Ah well, I just tried changing it to a bigger file and it still doesn’t work. Most of the other files I tried were 640 wide, and I tried one that was 900 and one that was 980, and it still won’t display.

  By the way, the blog I need help on is not dawnalongthepath. WordPress in its infinite wisdom tacked that on to the end of my post without asking which blog I meant. The post I am having problems with is:

  Oh so that’s a different theme and different blog. I tagged this thread for Themes Staff assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  Hi there,

  With the Adventure Journal theme you’re using on that blog, featured images should be at least 920 pixels wide and 360 pixels tall to be used as a custom header image on the post. Currently, the featured image on the post you mentioned is only 900 pixels wide.

  You mentioned that you tried one that was 980 pixels wide. Would you mind setting that as the featured image (or another image with the minimum dimensions for that theme) on that post? If it still doesn’t show up properly, I can take another look at it. :)

  Thank you so much – I put up one that was over 920 and it worked just fine. Success at last! :D
