  Hi,

  The Sketch theme relies on the WordPress.com Portfolio feature.

  If you’ve enabled portfolio projects on your site,The next thing to do is set up a page with the Sketch theme’s Portfolio Page template. Here are the instructions for that, from the Sketch theme page:

  When you first activate Sketch, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format. If you’d like to use the portfolio page template as the front page of your site, as the demo site does, it’s simple to configure:

  Create or edit a page, and assign it to the Portfolio Page Template from the Page Attributes module.
  Go to Settings → Reading and set “Front page displays” to “A static page”.
  Select the page you just assigned the Portfolio Page Template to as “Front page” and set another page as the “Posts page” to display your blog posts.

  Bhavik,

  ifourbhavikp – thanks for chiming in. Your reply didn’t address Katie’s question, so I’m going to answer it now.

  Hi Katie – Sketch doesn’t display featured images on pages on the front end (public side) but featured images on pages should normally be picked up when sharing the page on social media, as long as they meet the minimum size required by Facebook, Twitter, etc. Let me know if you have any other questions about this!
