Hi,

I currently have the featured slider enabled for my home page only, with 4 images rotating through it, and no featured images on any other pages. Can I add a static featured image to each of the other pages?

For example, images A, B, C and D on the homepage as a slide show, image E on another page as a static featured image, image F on another page as a featured static image, etc.

This functionality appears to be built into WordPress, but it seems that the SimpleCatch theme overrides it.

Thanks

@jcdSF: Simple Catch doesn’t overwrite the featured image function. It uses the Featured Image function of WordPress. See this for featured image details: http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/ . Featured Post slider takes the featured image of the slider. IF you want to add different image independent of the post then you need to use Featured Image Slider for which you need to upgrade to Simple Catch Pro theme where you have Featured Image Slider option.

Sorry, I should have clarified that I’m using Simple Catch Pro. So how do I add a different header image on every other page of my website (as shown in the link you provided) while keeping the image slider in the head of the home page? I added a featured image to the second page of my site, but it doesn’t show up on the page (see link to screen shot below):

Also, I don’t know if it’s important, but my website consists entirely of pages, not posts.

@jcdSF: There is no featured header image for the individual page/post. As this theme allows the user to enable the slider in the header. You can add slider in all pages if you need through your theme options.

If you want to show image in the page then you need to insert the image in your editor and show it.

So are you saying that the scenario I described in my original question is not possible with your theme? I can have a featured image slider in the head of every page, or just one page, but I can’t have a featured image slide show on my home page and a different featured image in the head of every other page?

WordPress does appear to have the option to add a different featured image to the head of individual pages, and your theme clearly has the ability to add an image slide show to the head of a page, but I don’t seem to be able to do both (your featured image slider on my home page + different individual featured images in the head of the rest of my pages). Which is what made me think that your theme is overriding WP’s ability to insert a single featured image into the head of a page.

@jcdSF: This is just a matter of different usages of theme. Some theme usages featured image as the header image. Where as some uses that spot for the Slider. This theme uses the header spot for the slider which takes the featured image from the posts. So, please understand the nature of differences in different themes.

If you go to theme directory in WordPress.org you will see it http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ that not all theme have header image as the featured image.

So please try to add your image in the page itself and it will display under your page title. But yes, if you are need to add this extra feature for your site then you might consider posting in WP Jobs or Tweaky
