    I absolutely LOVE this theme! Thank you so much for creating it.

    I’ve found that when trying to pin posts to Pinterest, the Featured Image doesn’t appear as an option. Is there a way to get it to show up? I’d include it in the post but then the image shows up twice in the post which doesn’t really work.

    Thanks!

    Glad you like it!

    I’m afraid this is an issue with the way Featured Image are handled in Tracks, but there are some workarounds.

    One method is to use the this Pinterest plugin which has an option to pre-select an image to use for each post: https://wordpress.org/plugins/pinterest-pin-it-button/screenshots/

    Alternatively, you could include the image in the beginning of the post, and then add a CSS class to it called “hidden-image”, like this: http://pics.competethemes.com/3K2n3M2Z0a0q

    Then you can add this CSS to the Custom CSS section in the Customizer (Appearance > Customize):

    .hidden-image {
  display: none;
}

    That will automatically hide any image that you add the “hidden-image” CSS class to. The While visitors won’t see the image, the HTML will still be on the screen which will allow it to be found for pinning.
