  Hi there,

  I see that you are using the Dara theme, which includes a featured content slider just below the menu. You can access this and change the settings for it by going to your site Customizer (by clicking on Customize next to Themes from your My Sites tab and then clicking on Featured Content). By default it will show the featured image for the front page, if a tag hasn’t been added that matches any tags added to your posts.

  If you want to change this image, you can either set a featured image for the page you have set up as your static front page (Home) and make sure that there are no tags set in the Featured Content section in the site Customizer, or if you want to set it to display the featured image from a particular post, you can add a tag to that post, add the same tag in the Featured Content section of the Site Customizer, and make sure there is a featured image set in the relevant post / posts.

  Here is a helpful guide on adding tags to posts: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/.

  There’s some more information on this Featured Content Slider from the Dara theme documentation here: https://wordpress.com/theme/dara/.

  I hope this helps?

  When you enter a thread always got to the profile page https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/teacherspet120111812 to check for duplicates and also take note of sidebar tags on threads please. Your information should have been added here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-change-menu-image?replies=2#post-3086588

  I will remove the duplicate tag.

  Thanks @timethief for the info, I just noticed after posting and was debating whether or not to move the comment to the original post and then saw your initial response. Thanks for the heads up on checking for duplicates. I notice and really appreciate all the support you provide here in the forums :)

  It was a 50 – 50 choice lol :D and thanks to you for answering questions here. I’m pretty much over and done after nearly 12 years of doing so and that’s why you don’t see me here much any more. Best wishes.
