  I don’t understand why my posts will show several pictures in their extract while looking for them in the reader, how do you make it so that only the featured image shows?

  Can you share your WordPress.com site address? I will have a look and can answer better. Thanks.

  Thank you,

  The URL is:

  But my problem is when I go to the reader I notice that other author’s posts show only one picture from the article along with the article’s preview, my posts will show pretty much all of them in the preview, I want to make it so that only one will show.

  Hi there, I checked a few other sites using Baskerville 2 in my Reader and they all show multiple images, if there are multiple images within the posts, so this is a feature of the theme. There is not a way to change this.

  Well, that pretty much explains it then, I do thank you for clarifying this for me, I was really feeling dumb for not being able to find a solution.

  You are welcome, and no reason to feel dumb. It was a legitimate question, and one that I have to test out before I was sure, and that is part of my job here. :)

  Could anyone suggest free WP themes that will show the featured image only in reader?

  confessionsonmychalkboard – no themes restrict featured images to displaying only in the Reader. If you need further help, please start a new thread – thanks!
