The Columnist theme, to place a picture on top of the grey line in the post
-
I am able to set the feature image.
I want to have the image on top of the light grey line, as in top of where it mentions ‘posted in. Like in this example: https://thecolumnistdemo.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/sed-elit-leo-fringilla/
The post that I am working on is: https://sheenaarora.wordpress.com/2016/01/25/to-volunteer/
Any help? -
Hi @sheenaarora,
In order to add an image as the example you showed, you need to upload the image as a header. Here’s a quick explanation on how to do it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-header-image/.
Let me know if you get stuck in the process, happy to help :)
Cheers!

Thank you for replying @stefaniamattana. But this is different.
I understand about the header image. So the header image via this theme on my website is my picture.
What I am trying to do is have a separate image (in the header) of each individual post. Like in the example link. I have tried everything, and I am ready to bang my head against the wall.
Any suggestion? :(

Hello again @sheenaarora,
All right, that makes sense. Sorry if I confused you!
Have you double check the feature image? Give it a go as it may be the right answer to this mystery ;)
-
I experimented. The feature image gives the post image as an icon on the home page. It shows on top when I am in the edit mode of the post. But does not appear above the gray line. I am baffled!
-
I’m going to test the theme on my blog right now and I’ll let you know if I manage to do it. I hope to figure this out!

@sheenaarora I managed to place two different images as featured images in two different posts, and they appear as you’d like them to be! You can see the screenshots of my two posts at this link: http://imgur.com/a/9hnET.
It looks like it is about uploading images as featured images, but you can’t load any image there, or the image is not displaying.
Can you double check for me:
– If you can’t see the image also from another browser
– If the same happens by uploading another image as a featured imageWe’re going to solve this mystery!

@stefaniamattana wow!
It seems that you are able to do it. So, I opened it from my phone and tablet, and husband’s laptop and phone. Nothing changed.I have set different feature image on all my posts. They show as nice tidy icons on the home page, but vanish on the post page. Can it be the image size? I will try bigger image size and update you.
It took me few years to have the courage to do my website, and it is f* killing me now!

Hi @sheenaarora,
Not sure if it can be a picture size problem but you did well by checking it out.
If the problem persists, add “modlook” to the tags for this thread to let WordPress.com staff know that you need assistance. Please subscribe to this thread so to be notified once they reply to you.
In the meantime, if there’s anything I can do for you, let me know. I’m pretty sure we’re missing a tiny something, but I can’t see what!

Yeah!
It was the image size problem. I was so worried about the storage space that I decrease the image size quite a lot. I experimented, and it works.Thank you so much @stefaniamattana.
I big hug to you!
-
Awww thanks!
So now you’re sorted also the storage space problem :)Best wishes with your website!
-
I have to yet figure-out the storage space issues. I am building the website slowly, as when I get time.
Today I learned how to insert images and a YouTube video!
-
That;s is great, well done!
Remember that if you have any other questions or you;re stuck into something, you can open another thread and ask the forum ;)
