  I am using the Auto Focus theme and the images I have selected for my posts do now show up on the main page. When you click on the date (since there is no image) it brings you to the post where the image does show up. The images do show up on the main page when using mobile devices.

  Howdy,

  I see that you’ve changed your theme.

  If you’d like to use AutoFocus, please make sure you’ve assigned a large featured image to each of your posts:

  Featured Images

  Hi, thank you for your response! This question is actually in regards to another blog that i have, haphazardcollectionofinfluences.com. I went to the link you posted, and found this info:

  AutoFocus: For best home page results, upload large featured images into your single posts. This will always ensure the presence of form-fitting featured images on the home page.

  When I “set featured image,” however, it still does not appear on my main page. Any suggestions?

  Can you give me a link to one post that it isn’t working on, or would like fixed first?

  Hi, thank your for your response! My question actually has to do with my other blog, http://haphazardcollectionofinfluences.com. The issue is that the images do not appear on the main page. Once you click on the date, you are brought to a page where the images do show up. Any suggestions?

  You’ll need to set Featured Images for them to display on your main page: http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/

  You’ve added images to the post itself, but they are not set as a Featured Image. Please carefully follow the exact steps in this guide.

  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  Hi, I have tried that and then removed the feature when it didn’t work (because I wanted to make sure that on the individual post page the image was linked to a different website). I just re-used the “set featured image” tool with the first post, but still no picture shows up on the main page. Is there are number I can call to get some tech support on the phone?

  I’m sorry, but we do not offer phone support.

  You don’t have a featured image set on your most resent post.

  Please set the featured image again so we can take a look.
