  Why does WordPress show my slideshow in the reader instead of the featured image?

  I’ve done a lot of searching but I can’t find a solution.
  I have a slideshow in this blogpost here: http://starplexus.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/chakra-circuit-progress/

  Unfortunately WordPress shows the slideshow in the reader INSTEAD of the featured image I set. How can I change this? This is seriously annoying.

  Thank you in advance for your help <3

  The programming is set to display it instead of the featured image. Currently, when a post with the Standard, Aside, Link, Quote, or Status post format contains a video or audio embed or slideshow, that embed is pulled out and used in the Reader. Otherwise, it uses an image from the post.

  If the post has the Gallery or Image post format, a video or audio embed in that post would not be used in the Reader – one or more images would be used instead. When the Reader looks for an image, it goes for the featured image first and then an image inserted into the post — if there are no images that meet the size criteria mentioned above, it will display the image as a thumbnail instead of a large image.
