Our `most read`widget shows only 5 out of 6 images, and the wrong post images

    We have two questions.

    1. We´ve been using the “most read” widget and had no problems with it until we changed the settings for mobile view yesterday. We felt compelled to remove the widget last night since it started showing only 5 out of 6 images, and it connected images from other posts to the posts displayed in the widget. For example, our most recent post about argan oil featured an image from an old post of shea butter in the library. It also showed the images in different sizes, which looked odd. What is wrong?

    2. We were previously able to select featured image on the bottom right hand (right below categories and tags) when we wrote a new post. We would choose from the images in each post which image to be displayed in the “most read” widget and when sharing posts on facebook etc. This possibility then disappeared and we have not been able to retrieve it. We would like to get it back. How do we do this?

    Thank you for your assistance!

    Are you referring to the “Top Posts and Pages” widget? If so, can you switch it back to the image view so I can investigate this further?

    It looks like you recently switch to the Truly Minimal theme. That theme does not support featured images. To get this functionality back, you would need to switch to a theme that supports featured images. Those themes are listed here:

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Jeremy,

    Thank you for your reply. We have now reinserted the Top Posts and Pages” widget. Actually it looks alright now, but it still connects the shea butter image with the argan oil post.

    We have not switched theme on purpose. If we switch themes now, will it change the contents on our blog or mess anything up layout-wise?

    Jeremy,

    I believe we have had the Truly Minimal Theme since when we first started blogging a few months ago. I swear that we were previously able to choose a featured image everytime we wrote a new post, on the right hand side, under “tags”. This enabled us to control which post images were shown in the “Top Posts and Pages” widget. Is there any way we can achieve that without changing themes?

    Hi Karin!

    I believe this is the Argan Oil post you’re referring to:

    http://mygoodresolution.com/2014/04/29/vara-skonhetsfavoriter-arganolja/

    Is that correct? Currently, I don’t see that post under your Top Posts and Pages. Could you take a snapshot of your screen and upload it to your Media Library so I can see the image that is associated with it on your side?

    It looks like when you started, you went through several themes including Syntax and Yoko. Both of those themes offer featured images. Is it possible you have your current theme mixed up with those two? I’m afraid featured images are not a feature of the Truly Minimal theme, so it won’t be possible to enable them without changing themes.
