How to get title and featured image to show up

    Hello, I have a nice structure going with my page.php. I have a title and the featured image displaying how I want. However, when I go to reading -> make post page the page I want, the title and featured image disappear.

    The next logical step is that it changes that page to index.php right? I go and put the stuff from page.php I want ( featured image and title html and css ) and it’s still not showing up.

    Am I missing something?

    index.php

    <?php get_header('main'); ?>

	<main role="main">
		<div class="page-section clear">
			<div class="single-image-anchor">
				<?php if (has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ): ?>
				<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
				<div class="single-image" style="background-image: url('<?php echo $image[0]; ?>')">
				<?php endif; ?>
			</div>
		</div>
		<!-- section -->
		<section>

			<h1><?php _e( 'Latest Posts', 'html5blank' ); ?></h1>

			<?php get_template_part('loop'); ?>

			<?php get_template_part('pagination'); ?>

		</section>
		<!-- /section -->
	</main>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    if the posts page is used, it has teh ID of get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ) which you can use to get the page title and the page featured imnage;

    example code for index.php (untested)):

    <?php
if( is_home() && get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) ) {
  $posts_page = get_page( get_option( 'page_for_posts' );
  $title = apply_filter( 'the_title', $posts_page->post_title );
    if ( has_post_thumbnail( $posts_page->ID ) ) {
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $posts_page->ID ), 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
    }
}
?>

    you need to adapt the html structure yourself.

    Do you mind explaining that a little further? “if the post page is used” Used where? Which post page?

    You’re saying that if I make a page I created, in this case a normal page called blog, and I’m making it the post page, it automatically becomes a different page with different ID’s? Or what is happening here? Also not sure what you put If( is home()

    . I”m looking for an a solution to my problem, but I would love to understand it as well. Fairly new with WordPress. Thanks.
