Hi. I’m not sure if this is a GP issue or something with WP in general, but I’m having a problem with featured images.
I’m trying to set a featured image that’s different than the actual in-post images (where I’ll only use the featured images on archive pages).
But every time I manually set a featured image and save the post, the image changes to use the first in-post image as the featured image instead.
Any idea if there’s an easy way around this? Maybe a setting I’m not seeing? Or is this likely a bigger compatibility issue with a plugin or something?
I don’t have featured images set to display anywhere in my GP settings yet because I need to add more of them with our new branded designs. But here’s an example post where I’m seeing this:
But when I set the horizontal image as the featured image and save the post, it automatically changes my featured image to the vertical one inside the post itself.
Here’s a short screencast of the behavior I’m seeing on the backend.
Ooh, thank you! I thought we’d cleaned up all the old custom functions from the previous theme, but it looks like we missed one. I wouldn’t have thought to check there again.
