  I’m trying to add a featured image to my blog post, but I don’t see it when I preview it!? Your thoughts?

  here is the detailed theme description page with setup instructions https://wordpress.com/themes/gateway/ Scroll down to “Homepage Template”.

  2. Assign the page a Featured Image to appear as a background to the header. If no Featured Image is assigned, your Custom Header will be used instead.

  you cannot compel any theme to do what it is not designed to do. In the Gateway theme featured images are either background images or they are custom header images.
