  Hello. I am using the twenty-ten theme and am having troubles with setting the featured image. I have no problems uploading the photo as the feature image … my problem is that it does not go into the header of the post. Why? Has something changed? Because a few weeks ago when I set a featured image it went into the header for that post. Any help would be great. Thank you.

  Have you checked that the featured image is the right size. I have not used that theme, but in other themes if the picture is not the right size then it does not show in the header.

  Looks like for that theme the header should be 940 in width and 198 in height.

  For more information you can check out http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyten/ I found the dimensions under the quick specs.

  Thank you. I was aware of the header size and when I’ve made a header I’ve used those measurements. However, in the past when I uploaded a photo into featured photo it didn’t matter the size as it would adjust it automatically. Hmmm….

  It would adjust it automatically, and it still does, provided the image is larger than the regular header image. If it’s smaller it cannot replace the regular header image.
