  Hi there, due to the way the CSS and HTML is done in Boardwalk for the featured images on the posts page (your main page) we cannot rotate the images.

  ok, then how about animated gifs?

  WordPress and the theme create the images on the front page off of the image you upload and the image it creates is a jpg, so your animated gif would not work anymore. Even if they didn’t convert it, once an animated gif is resized, it loses its animation. You could give it a try and see what happens, but in my experience it hasn’t. I’ve not tried it though with Boardwalk.

  i read in a forum post that if it is the exact size, it will animate, but otherwise will happen what you are suggesting, is there a way to learn the exact size?

  The images are 980px wide by 654px. Create your animated gif in that size and then see what happens when you set it as a featured image.

  My only concern would be that when someone goes to your site they will see possibly 3 or 4 gifs animating all at once and it could be a bit distracting for them.

  Hi! I’d like to post a header question: I’ve created a tagline, but it doesn’t appear under my header on the first page. Can you tell me why? Thanks!

  Hi @frausakra, since you are using a different theme, and since CSS is generally theme specific, can I ask you to create a new thread in the CSS Forum? Many thanks in advance.

  Thanks so much for this thread! It has helped me a lot! I have a follow up question: Is there a way to keep the featured image on the home page but not have it appear at the top of the daughter page when you click on it?

  @samueladambaird, we can use the “single” CSS class that is defined in the opening HTML body tag and target only single post pages to hide the featured images.

  .single .entry-thumbnail {
      display: none;
  }

  I am new to this. Is this only available in a version that you pay for? If not where to I click to get to the page to edit the HTML?

  @samueladambaird — Adding CSS requires an upgrade, such as Premium that gives you access to Custom Design. If you add the upgrade, it’ll be under Customize > CSS.

  Before upgrading, you can try it out under Customize > Custom Design. There’s a button to click to try it out that will allow you to enter some CSS and preview how it would look. (It won’t save on your site without the upgrade though.)

  Let me know if you have any questions! :)
