I tried the theme and couldnt tweak the box. Thanks to you all, I'm using it now. I love it. What I love most is i can combine my two big loves: writing and photography, with the "featured image" feature on each post. Take care and here's to great days ahead. Cheers,

Besides, removing it is already possible: you just need the paid CSS upgrade.

The answer is the gray box for a featured image is the primary feature of this theme. If you don't appreciate the use of it - you can switch themes.

So Im a part of a blog on here that has 3 authors. We use the Structure theme, my issue is when the other 2 authors post, the featured image changes. However when I post, (and yes I do set the featured image) the big box at the top does not change. It remains the same image from the post before. So I dont know what is wrong. I even set a dummy admin acct and made a post and the box did not change. So can some one please tell me what the issue is with this theme or is it not good for multiple authors or what? Its realllly frustrating!

I'm looking for a magazine type layout, like Inuit type which I have used on Unchained Peace - http://joniep.wordpress.com/
But as you see the poems lose their format, but gain it again when opened on a new page.
I want to post longer poems but with them keeping their format using a magazine style theme.
Tried Under the Influence, but it crashes Firefox and Chrome in the preview!
With all these new themes coming out I'm sure to be lucky someday. It's a great job they're doing and thanks for your help!

Step 1: You must first go to Appearance > Theme Options and choose a Featured Category for the theme to pull a featured image from. Mine is "New Art Work".

In your "Edit Post" dashboard, choose a post in the category you selected in step 1. scroll down the right hand side of the Edit Post page and look under the "Post Tags" widget for "Featured Image". Click that.

It opens the "Set Featured Image" console where you choose an image from your computer, a url, a gallery, or your media library.

Simply choose the image you want and right next to the "Insert in Post" button is a link that says "Set as Featured Image". Voila. Update the post and it will now show up instead of the pesky "grey bar".

On my site, I have chosen an image from every post in the category "New Art Work" to show up as my featured image.

That's strange but unless you post a URL to the blog in question how can it be found? Please post the complete and clickable URL, starting with http://

Also if you would like to link your wordpress.com username to your blog it's very easy to do. Dashboard > Users > Personal Settings > scroll down to 'Account Details' to where it says ‘Website‘ and URL your blog and then Save Changes. :)

The fact that the theme does not allow you to turn on/off that post highlight option and the figure sucks.

I agree with you 100% because I do not have visual art or photo blogs. This theme is obviously aimed to appeal to photographers and artists. I's not really aimed to appeal to those who primarily create text and the fact that we cannot disable that box means fewer bloggers will use the theme.

For now, I made do with some nice imagery but in future that will not work so well. I hope WP considers making this feature a bit more flexible, because I love everything else about this theme.
