  I’m trying to use the theme Adaption, it shows a large feature image, how do I upload my own feature image?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The same way you upload any image. Then on the right-hand sidebar of the Write Post page, you’ll see Set Featured Image. Click on that, select the already-uploaded image, and you’re done.

  Consult the detailed theme description page here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/adaption/
  For setting a featured image see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/
  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  Thanks but I’ve tried all this. An error keeps appearing and says to refresh but nothing happens. I’ve been at this for 3 hours, heard it was supposed to be simple and I’m feeling like giving up and getting a refund.

  What is the URL of the image you are trying to set as Featured? If it’s not uploaded directly to your site, but instead just hotlinked from elsewhere, it cannot be a Featured Image.

  I chose a different theme for now. Thanks for your time.
