My image was plenty large enough, yet it was not taking a slice.

It's no longer an issue because I switched to Linen, but I am curious if you have any ideas as to why that was not working? As I said above, I have another site (http://femmeonamission.com) that is using the Duster theme and now I am hesitant to update to Twenty Eleven.

Any ideas as to why my featured images weren't working? Also, if I update my other blog to Twenty Eleven, will I be able to go back to Duster if I don't like it? When I was looking through themes the other day, Duster was absent. I am worried that I will switch to Twenty Eleven, the featured images won't work properly, and then I won't be able to switch back to Duster. Thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

Twenty Eleven will still take a slice out of larger images.

Good to know that I should stick with Duster and not update to Twenty Eleven for femmeonamission.com if I want to keep the featured image style that I like.

Thanks again for your efforts!

Man that's a huge bummer. Duster used to just take a slice right out of the middle of the photo.. I really liked that look.

Oh well I guess. Thanks for the help!

To add posts to the Featured Post section just mark some posts as sticky. To have a big featured image you need to use an image that is at least as big as the header image (1000px x 288px). Also, make sure you have a set size for Large image under Settings → Media that allows for such sizes. Adding more than one sticky post will add slider controls to the top right of the featured post area.

I am trying to use the showcase template of Twenty Eleven to have a large featured image on my home page. I've been blogging with the Duster theme for some time now and have had no problems getting a large featured image to work. But I'm new to Twenty Eleven and I must be missing something.

I have used a huge image file, (on the home page it is the image titled "Tabatha"), and I have gone into Media settings and set my max width and height for large images to 1024 x 3000px. Still no luck. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help!
