 * It seems to be working fine – or at least I was able to set a featured image 
   in my post and it shows up as a thumbnail image in my recent posts widget.
 * I will put the code in a different plugin that allows me to edit the functions.
   php without changing the file directly.

 * Can I simply add the code to the function.php file? Forgive me if this is a stupid
   question; I’m a newbie with all this coding stuff.
 * I think I might install [this plugin.](https://wordpress.org/plugins/drag-drop-featured-image/).
   It’s not the best option, but better than nothing?
 * Why do you think the featured image used to work, then?
 * Thanks again for all your help!

 * Bluchic doesn’t offer support for it because it is a free theme. They only offer
   help for their premium themes.

 * I’ve been using it for several months, with no problems. The featured image was
   always available before.

 * OK…I switched my theme to Twenty Sixteen, and also to an theme by Colorlib, and
   the featured image box was there. I’m assuming this means that there is something
   wrong with my theme, though it was working before. Where do I go from here? The
   theme is “Estelle” by Bluchic.

 * Thanks for answering me!
 * The “Featured image” simply isn’t there under “Screen options.” Not sure what
   to do about this…I tried deleting the plugin I installed right before the featured
   image box disappeared, but it didn’t change anything.
 * Any other ideas?
 * Thanks again!

 * Hmmmm…I’m just going to be honest and tell you that I didn’t understand much 
   of that. I probably should have added to my original post that I’m a total newbie
   and have no coding experience beyond what I’ve gathered in the last two days 
   of google searching.
 * I think my main issue is can’t find the class for any of my widgets. I have tried
   adding this to my css, with no luck, so I’m assuming that I need an alternative
   to “archive_widget” (obviously just for the archives – I believe there should
   be a different one for each widget):
 *     ```
       .archive_widget {
         background-image: "imageurl.jpg"
       }
       ```
   
 * I’m also not sure if “background-image” is correct either; I used it based on
   other posts from the forum.
 * Forgive me if this is ridiculous to more experienced ears 🙂
 * Actually, most of my widgets are just the basic default widgets that WP comes
   with, excepting the recent posts and social icons, which are both plugins. Not
   sure if this is relevant?
 * I added the border simply by adding this to the Custom CSS Manager Plugin:
 *     ```
       .side-widget {
          border: 1px solid #d44d5c;
       }
       ```
   
 * I thought that if I could get the widget titles to be images, then they would
   all be part of the widget, and I can simply put the border around it like I already
   have. I hope this is making sense to you.
 * I also tried adding HTML to the titles like you suggested using the HTML Widget
   Titles Plugin [, but the image isn’t displaying properly on my browser (you can see what I mean if you visit my site and look at the archive widget).](https://wordpress.org/plugins/html-in-widget-titles/)
 * Sorry if this is an overwhelm of irrelevant or confusing info; I’m trying to 
   express myself without really understanding much about code.
 * Thanks so much for your response!
