Hi! The layout won’t import, since Blogger uses a totally separate theme setup. You’d need to import the text and images, then set up your columns.
Use these steps:

For the themes that don’t support the Site Editor, you can change their settings through the Customizer.

The theme you have selected has many sidebar options. Here’s how to configure them:

Here’s how to set a featured image for each post:
https://wordpress.com/support/featured-images/#set-a-featured-image
And to have those images displayed in the blog view of your homepage, go to Appearance > Customize > Content Options and check the “Display on blog and archives” option.

hallo! i know how to put a feature image but the thing is that the other one that you told me >> Display on blog and archives” option is already checked
but i am saying another thing. i have imported all my data from my other site to wordpress as text and images. how will i get the first image of every post automatically show on main page blog? i have to do it for 500 posts all one by one to set it as feature image?

Hello there,
If the posts themselves do not have a featured image before import, they would need to be assigned a featured image individually.
I hope this helps.

thnx. look at this theme. is seems that it appears my photos in main page but when i go INTO the post my photo appears twice like that: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p428uy32ipf8j2s/q2.PNG?dl=0 which is very ugly.. any ideas how to use this theme so that i wont set 500 feature images in my blog with another theme? (dont use the first post use anything else, first post has featured image set from before)
-
– secondly how about using a plugin to set the first image as feature image? is there any?
https://wordpress.com/plugins/auto-post-thumbnail/efriendgrwp.wordpress.com
and third if i buy a plan for one year hosting (i will keep my domain where it is i suppose) how much space should i buy? how can i estimate how much space is NOW all my posts? so that to calculate in one year how much space will i need more?

Automatically Set the First Post Image as a Featured Image in WordPress
there are ways
“the script checks the specific post to see if it has a featured image set. If not, then the script checks for others images in the post, grabs the first one it find, and sets this image as the featured image. “ -
Hello there,
any ideas how to use this theme so that i wont set 500 feature images in my blog with another theme?
It’s possible to disable the featured images on single posts, but still use them as a thumbnail.
To do this, please go to Appearance > Customize > Content options > untick “Display on single posts”.

Appearance > Customize > Content options > untick “Display on single posts”. WORKED! its all ok i think now! business plan is very expensive for me, i will may buy a cheaper one. plugins are only available on business plan? what about Css i still need to buy business class?

Hello there,
Glad to see that worked!
The business plan is available via a monthly payment if that’s of interest?
CSS is available on the premium plan.
I hope this helps.
