[Resolved] How can I add featured image at custom location

[Vishvendra]

On this blog post I needed to add featured image after the first paragraph the italic one.

Also, I want the top separator line after author name to be inserted by default. So I don’t need to add it every time I create blog post.

I tried to do it with elements but was unable to do it. Please don’t ask how I tried to do it. 😋 I just tried.

So, what’s the correct way. How Can I achieve it.

Thanks

Hi there,

the simplest method would be to add that text to the Excerpt field in the post editor. This will also be displayed in the Archive post excerpt.

Then create a hook
Add this content:

<?php if ( has_excerpt() ) : // Only show custom excerpts not autoexcerpts ?>
    <p class="entry-subtitle"><?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

Select after_entry_header hook
Check Execute PHP
Set Display Rules to Posts > All Posts

Then in Customizer > Layout > Blog –> Featured Images >>> Set its location to Below Title.

Thanks, I will try that now and let you know how well things went.

Thanks again. 🙏🏻

You’re welcome

okay, I tried to create the hook with the code you’ve provided.

(1) I didn’t find the Execute PHP option.
(2) there generate_after_entry_header hook was present not after_entry_header.
(3) Want to show read more link text on the archive but custom excerpt doesn’t let it.

Edit:

The option came. However, blog post looks likes this https://mouthpost.com/pradhan-mantri-garib-kalyan-yojana/

no space between meta text and title. Plus text doesn’t coming up in italic fonts. I also want to add separator after the meta text.

Thanks 🙂

Try adding this CSS:

.entry-subtitle {
    font-style: italic;
    margin-top: 1em;
    padding-top: 1em;
    border-top: 1px solid #eee;
}

Thanks, it worked. But how to bring back read more link at the archive page. As custom excerpt overwriting it.
