    Is there a theme or a plugin that whenever you create a new blog post it will show an image and the blog title on the main body of the homepage. I think X theme does it but I don’t even know the terminology to do a search for it.

    I know I can manually add an image and headline to the page but it seems there may be an automatic one I know I have seen a theme that will automatically add a small thumbnail in the sidebar with the blog title

    Actually, WordPress already does that by default, it’s called Blog Home Page (Posts page). But most people set front page with a static page and then have a link to Blog Home Page somewhere in the menu. So if you want a Blog Home Page as Front page, head over to the setting and select “Posts page” as front page.

    I suppose you already have you site setup and just want to show list of posts somewhere there? In this case there is this plugin (and few others) can do that, it can be configured to display only post title, and/or with post’s image, and/or with post’s exceprt, and much more.

    Display Posts Shortcode
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/

    To have list of post in sidebar, search for something like List Post Widget in plugin in repository. As a matter of fact, the Display Posts Shortcode can be used in sidebar too, but we just need to have a plugin that enables shortcode in sidebar.

    Hope this helps
