    Thanks Kathryn. I tried another approach while awaiting your solution. If my client likes what I currently have going them I’m cool. If not the

    .page-child .hero.with-featured-image {
    display: none;
}
.css should be the icing  on the cake.

    @ nwwoman I have had a time getting images of decent resolution from my client and that has contributed to the poor image quality on several images. I fiddled with the opacity on the image in the header in order to make the business name more visible. I also am awaiting a better image of Tony. One > 32kb I’m hoping for.

    Thank you for your input.

    I believe I have made some significant progress this morning. I gave up on using portraits as featured images on child pages because when the child page was rendered, the featured image was displayed as a large rectangle with a random positioned portion of the portrait. That was just too creepy having a just eyes or a partial facial image.

    I created a child theme and edited my new style.css file with the following

    .hero.with-featured-image {
    display: none;
}

    That got rid of the creepy featured images.

    I then added images inside the page text that looked more normal.

    However, On the page chosen as the Front Page, I no longer have the featured image under the text. I didn’t think the front page would have been impacted by my .css mod as they don’t seen to be in the same div id.

    Any thoughts on how I can regain the front page featured image but lose it on the child pages?

    Thanks

    Thank you for your help.

    I have been catching heck with my client. They want beautiful, crisp and sharp images on their site, but can only provide measly web images that are only a few kb in size. I have been having problem getting larger images from my client. Smaller images just won’t do the trick.

    I have yet to get the hang of the post thumbnail editor I installed. Maybe when I figure out where the crops and edits the plug-in creates are stored, I’ll have a better chance of using those edited images.
    I have temporally inserted a large generic image of 1230×1230 size on the front page to test its display. it looks Ok but I need to get a image suitable to my client for this space.

    As far as the first child page featured image, I am using the image below:
    http://tyretax.mattbragg.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Steve-HeadshotBig-2.jpg

    It may do the trick but I need to adjust where the crop of the image takes place. The plug-in you suggested may be helpful, but I really need humungous images to crop down to the right size.

    Bottom line is, I need more suitable images from my client in order to use them in this theme.

    I appreciate all the assistance.

    Thank you.
