Featured image display within post | WordPress.org

Hi,

It’s probably an easy fix, but I can’t find any documentation on it.

I want the featured image of a post to appear at the top of that post when it is clicked on as the posts are looking quite boring and bland without an image, but I don’t want to have to upload the picture twice.

It wouldn’t normally be an issue, but I need to train some staff members on uploading posts and it would be very very helpful if there wasn’t an extra step they have to do, as it just causes more issues.

Thanks in advance

If you are comfortable with adding code to php templates, that’s the way to go. If not, maybe something like this plugin will help you:

What code would I have to change and where? I’m pretty comfortable doing this 🙂

Forgive me if I’m being blind and/or stupid, but I can’t see where this helps?

I can set featured images, but they don’t appear at the top of the post once inside the post, the do appear in the post lists.

If you could see the below link, you will see each post has a featured image in the post list, but once you click on it the featured image isn’t there. I want it to appear at the top of the post within the post.

From that page, you’ll see this code:
```
// check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
	the_post_thumbnail();
}
```
You need to place that within the loop on your single post template.
