Nishita Theme featured image not showing

    My blog is http://gmvader.wordpress.com/

    I have a header image set for my blog. I also have featured images set for several of my pages (Archive, About). On the Twenty Eleven theme those featured images displayed as headers for those pages. In Nishita Theme I can't get them to show up at all. Is there some reason that I can't see them anymore. They are there in my dashboard as featured images on those pages but when I click Update and then view the page the default header image is the one that shows up on all of my pages.

    Is there something I can do to make them show up?

    I tried removing each one and re-uploading it but that didn't work.

    The blog I need help with is gmvader.wordpress.com.

    Nishita theme description > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/nishita/
    Live demo site > http://nishitademo.wordpress.com/

    1. Are the featured images the exact dimensions specified by the theme?

    2. Did you use this guide to set the featured images?

    3. Are the posts with featured images also marked as sticky posts?

    Does this mean that only thumbnails can be used? I'm trying to get different pages (not posts) to display a different header than the default. Is that not possible with this theme?

    I did follow the guidelines. The pages are not marked as sticky posts because they are not posts.

    Thanks.

    I don't see any mention of a featured image header in that theme description I linked to.

    Thanks.

    It appears I misunderstood the purpose of a featured image. I thought that a featured image was always a header image.

    Thanks for your help.
