[Support request] How Do I Get Images In Masonry and Excerpt Formats

[John Retzer]

How do I get images to show in either the masonry or excerpt formats. I have a plugin on my current site taht does that (golfblogger.com) … can I do something similar with GeneratePress?

You need to set your featured images: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/featured-images/

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

Can I not have it show the “hero” image on the individual post? What I will end up doing is using one (or the only) image in the post as the “Featured Image”

[Tom]

The blog posts/excerpts use the featured image.

The next version of Page Header also focuses more on using the featured image while keeping the page header image as more of a backup if you need a different image on the single post/page.

I am not sure I am following. Sorry for my confusion.

Here’s what my site looks like now with a plugin I have been using:

and what the single post page looks like:

is it possible to recreate this using only GeneratePress?

[Tom]

You should be able to do that exact same thing using featured images in GeneratePress.

Have you tried using featured images yet? Is something about it not working right?

[John Retzer]

I tried using featured images, but when I do, the featured image shows up at the top of each single post page in giant form.

I suppose that’s ok for some posts, but for others (as with this one), I’d really just like that image to be as it is shows up in the body, with a wrap-around of text.

The featured image also doesn’t show a caption, so people would have to look at the body of the article for the identical photo to find out what is in the photo.

I looked for a place in the single page template to delete the code that inserts the featured image, but couldn’t see anything that was likely.

[Tom]

You can remove it from the single post using the Page Header add-on in “Customize > Layout > Page Header”.

Let me know if that helps or not 🙂
