• So i think that featured image in WordPress is a key element, atleast if your doing a portal/news website with WordPress. But then I noticed since im working on a new website that Blank theme by Chris Coyer is missing a feature: Featured image, when I go into posts i dont have that option on the right side.

    How do i enable that feature also what more key elements am I missing ?

  • Where did you download this theme from? Have you reviewed http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail

    From here It’s from 2010 so I’m wondering what am I missing and what should I add (whats mandatory)

    Did you review the page I linked to above?

    Yes, thanks for the link.

    So i need to add a peace of code to functions.php and then
    add the php/html code where i want featured post to show up ? 🙂

    There was a lot of code on the page, but I guess I add this code to functions.php

    <?php the_post_thumbnail( $size, $attr ); ?>

    Correct me if I’m wrong

    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); this is what you need to include in your function.php to enable post-thumbails, and go through the esmi’s link for more info on how to retrieve and show the thumbnails.

    What @LastForOne said. 🙂 Personally, I’d just start with off with using <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> in your theme’s template files and see how that goes.

    Alright thanks, did it.
    Now if I want my featured image to be linked to a post in which it was placed where do I add this:

    add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'my_post_image_html', 10, 3 );
    
    function my_post_image_html( $html, $post_id, $post_image_id ) {
    
      $html = '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post_id ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( get_post_field( 'post_title', $post_id ) ) . '">' . $html . '</a>';
      return $html;
    
    }

    After I added
    add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ ); i have the option for Featured image. Also added background image option in Functions and it works also

    What exactly are you trying to do? What kind of page are you trying to create?

    For example
    http://worldoftanks.com/

    Look at the middle of site section: News

    There is the image in the left corner (Featured image in our wordpress) and title on the right side.

    The image links to the post/title. Thats what i want to have enabled and i thought the code above would get me to that to work

    So this is for your site’s main posts page, yes?

    Yes, but I want to use featured also on single.php. I guess the core code will be the same for it to be able to show up
