If you cannot locate the page attributes module:
In your dashboard, the Screen Options pull down tab is located in the upper right corner of your Dashboard (under the admin bar). The module listing changes depending on the screen you're viewing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

You need to include the Pages Modules:
Page – Likes and Shares, Page Attributes, Featured Image, Discussion, Comments**, Page Revisions, Slug, Author, Revisions, Writing Helper

Though I'm not using this theme now I did previously and had no trouble uploading featured image headers to each page that were different from the front page image headers.
The theme dimensions specify 1000 x 288 pixels but it also states flexible as well. http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#featured-header-images

Howdy!

There is a difference between Custom Header Images http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/custom-header-image/ and Featured Images. http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/ Although they happen to serve the same purpose in Twenty Eleven, they're actually two separate functions, which is why they behave differently.

Custom Header Images can be flexible height or width in Twenty Eleven. This is the image (or series of random images) that displays on every post by default unless a Featured Image is set for the post.

Featured Images are set per post, and these are a fixed width and height of 1000 x 288. There is no way to crop featured images to a flexible width/height the way you can for the custom header.

Sorry for any confusion; I hope this clears things up!

I uploaded an image to the featured image area of the "About us" page but the header remained the same for all pages. I have read your support for featured images and have a theme that supports it. I am using Twenty Eleven. What to do or perhaps more detail how to use this feature.

Thanks for the advice! I'm using a self-hosted version.

There version for WordPress.org is not exactly the same as the WordPress.com version.

If you were to consider implementing a flexible-height featured images in this theme in the future, it would be hugely appreciated. For applications such as mine this would make the theme highly versatile. The ability to have flexible height headers is great, but right now I have to choose between flexible height and header images that match the pages (featured images). It would be great to have flexible height featured images and not be forced to choose between these two features.

All I had to do to change the height of the header, was go to Appearance – Editor – Theme Functions (functions.php) and under function my_header_image_height($height) { return 288; change 288 to whatever height you wish your headers to be. You should be able to replicate that using the default theme fairly easily though.

amishhacker, how did you change the allowed height of featured images?

In my case, I just ended up changing the allowed height of the featured image and that fixed my issue.

Images added under "Appearance > Header" can have any pixel height.
However when the same image is selected as "Featured Image" from a media gallery, it appears cropped to 288px height.
To sum it up: "Appearance > Header" allows variable height, while "Featured Image" crops to 288px high. This appears to be a bug.
I want to use Featured Images of variable height and this should be possible as per theme's description.
Thank you for looking into this.

Is there another way to do this without the images being cropped?
