    I would like to move the featured image below the blog post title and meta. I’m aware that I will need to make child theme to make theme changes.

    If anyone knows how it’d be a great help.

    Thanks.

    See this article regarding how to make a Child Theme: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    I probably worded my initial post wrong, but I was asking how to move the featured image on blog posts below the title not how to create a child theme.

    Thanks anyway 🙂

    Let’s see your site (with your child theme active)

    I just tried to create one with the Orbisius plugin but it messed up my site so I guess I’m going to have to do it manually. What files would I need to create a child of? Just the blog template page, or?

    For clarity can you link a page you’re referring to:

    My website is still under construction, but I’ll remove the launch page so you can see. Please let me know when you’ve finished so I can reactivate it. 🙂

    Here’s a test post: http://demo.siteorigin.com/vantage/2013/09/27/absorbed/

    I would like for all blog posts that I create to have the featured image under the title and meta, rather than on top.

    I’ve seen it

    Edit: Actually I’m going to replace that URL with one from the theme’s demo site – so that it’s useful for other people in the future (who try to use these forums as guidance)

    In your Child Theme folder you just need:
    – style.css
    – content-single.php

    The “content-single.php” file should just be a copy of the one from vantage.

    The “style.css” file should contain the code exampled from that Codex article: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme

    Replace all the code of your “content-single.php” file with the code from this PasteBin page: http://pastebin.com/gq66hLcw

    brn, can you describe how the Child Theme Creator plugin messes up your site? Was it because the parent theme was expecting a file that wasn’t copied or something?

    I’m not entirely sure what happened, but when I activated my child theme everything from the footer was at the top of my homepage and over my menu.

    I didn’t check the rest of the pages, just deactivated the plugin.
