The Piano Black theme is a retired theme. Themes are retired when they no longer support all wordpress.COM features like the featured image feature. The recommendation is to switch to using another newer theme.

The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
Note that every theme will have a detailed theme description page with set-up instructions and a live demo site page that you can consult. Here’s an example:

I thank you .. I set up new theme .. I am unsure about the format tab. Standard?
When I refer to the featured image . It is a selected picture I insert as featured image for each article . As of now.. It is defaulting to my banner !
Before I changed theme it was defaulting to the top picture in the article because I had no banner .
What a pain . You should be able to set the featured image of your choice manually , as I am doing got an article , to reflect the subject .. And it should publish with the article as it shows up in FB , Google etc. What am I doing wrong ? Lol -
Hi @marycarmelnews, I’ve just spot checked an article and I see its featured image.
Can you make sure your featured images are big enough ? Make them at least 300px tall and 300px wide.
If that still doesn’t work, link us to an affected article, and we’ll take a look. Cheers :)
