Header has stopped appearing on main posts

    I post weekly and have used the same custom header since 2014.

    I just noticed today that the header has stopped appearing on my main posts since last May.

    This is the last post where the header appears (published 9 May)

    Ruby Trax: The NME’s Roaring Forty (NME, 1992)

    The next one – published 16 May – has no header and it seems that no subsequent ones have it either.

    The A To Z Of Irish Rock (Solid, 1992)

    I use Classic Editor when creating my posts as the new one is very difficult to manage.

    Any ideas what has caused this? Thank you

    Hey there, this theme uses your featured image as a header if the image is large enough.

    I spot checked a handful of posts: those with a featured image set aren’t displaying the header. Also, those images aren’t wide enough to serve as a header image. So, the theme is just deciding not to display anything.

    If you’re willing to go with a slight update, this theme is similar, and the header doesn’t change with featured images. You’d just need a bit wider header image:

    Or, you can unset featured images on some of those posts to see if that would help.

    Hi there – thanks very much, appreciate that and will try it.

    Makes sense – coincides with me using featured image.

    The reason for using featured image was to ensure that posts shared on Twitter had the “correct” image i.e. front cover of the album – I always post front and back covers in my posts but found that when no featured image was selected, the Twitter thumbnail was of the back image.
