Yes I do have featured images and they are appearing as thumbnails, so that is not an issue. I’m just wanting the picture that I past into my post before the text to appear on the homepage…again similar to the above mentioned sample link. Hope this makes sense

It worked! Thank you so much – appreciate your teams prompt responses all the time!

I used the above noted code to prevent my featured image from appearing in the post itself – with the code it no longer does, which is what I wanted. However, I want to be able to see the featured images as thumbnails under ‘you may also like’ and on my side widget ‘other posts’ when I am actually viewing a post itself. The thumbnails/featured images are only showing on my homepage side widget ‘other posts’. I hope that makes sense – my site is currently under construction so I can’t provide you a link and pasting a screen shot for you to see is not working… A sample site I came across that shows what I am referring to is ( i hope this is okay…): http://www.myfavoritehello.com/a-statement-heel/ – the thumbnails appear under ‘recent posts’ and ‘you may also like’ on this post and if you click on her homepage the thumbnails still appear under ‘recent posts’.

Thanks

My site is under construction….but I think I fixed it. I copied the code from olsen-light footer.php to the child footer.php and added the additional copyright code at the very bottom/end of the page and my footer now looks the way I want it to.

One final question – do I need to add any other folders to my child theme such as functions.php or anything? Right now I only have sytle.css and footer.php. folders/files in my child theme.

I’ve created the child theme an now i’m getting the following error msg when I try to add the child theme: “Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.”

I added the style.css and footer.php folders to my child theme. The code in the child style.css folder is:

Theme Name: Olsen Light Child

Originally it said olsen-light and i changed it to olsen-light-child.

What can i do to fix this?

Thank you. In the creation of the child theme, when you say “Inside the child theme’s folder we will place our two files. First, the style.css file. This needs to …”, am I to copy and paste this folder from the parent olsen file to the new child folder, or am I to cut and paste this folder from the parent olsen to the child olsen folder?

Thank you
