On this new site I'm creating, I love how I can set a featured image header, my problem is that when I set it it's not only displaying as a header but also somehow in the body of the post, which looks silly. Am I doing something wrong?
Here's an example of one of my subpages: http://newbirthsite.wordpress.com/tell-your-story/
The blog I need help with is newbirthsite.wordpress.com.
I could really use advice about this - thank you
Shelly - bumping threads distorts the fabric of space and time and makes some of the unpaid volunteer helpers cranky. Many support forums have around a 24 hour cycle for help - generally here it is quicker - BUT you need to wait until someone that has the expertise to help you to drop in and help for a while - most of the help here is by your fellow bloggers and we don't get paid to help so this is worked in with our other activities.

Featured Header Images
By default, Splendio comes with a set of its own default header images. You can either use these, or replace them with your own under Appearance → Header.With Splendio, you can also display a Featured Header image on a per-page or per-post basis. To give a post or page its own header image, upload a Featured Image to that post or page that is at least 990 pixels wide by 400 pixels high.
I have flagged this thread so it will be moved to the Themes Forum where Themes Staff monitor threads and will reply to you.
timethief-
Thanks for the response, I had already done exactly what you posted above and yet it's displaying the header image twice on the same page. I'll await themes staff for some guidance.
That's obviously a mistake that needs to be fixed by the theme team. Note that it only happens on static pages: posts behave as they should.
Hello everyone
I am very new. I have uploaded some pictures as my random header. If I want to remove one of the them, how can I do?
You go to Media > Library, hover over the image, click Delete Permanently.
Thanks, It was helpfull
I am not intending to bump this post and upset anyone. Just wanted to check in since I haven't heard anything other that this issue being a mistake.
There's nothing else we fellow bloggers volunteering can tell you. As timethief said, the themes staff monitor the Themes forum; usually they reply within a day or two, but truth is they haven't shown up lately.
Contact staff via your blog's Dashboard Help button and report it there. And then wait, because if you bump your official Support request, you go back to the end of the line.
It's fine to check your thread to see if anyone has answered. If no-one has, there's no need to comment again. The volunteers and staff know how to find pre-existing threads. We don't lose them when they drop off the front page.
Hi shelly7644,
Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. I have taken care of it, so featured images should no longer appear inside your page content.
No matter what I do I can't seem to get this template to show me a "Featured Post" like it shows in the template. ???
Scroll down on this page to "Showcase Template (Used on the Home Page of the Splendio Demo Site)" http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/splendio/
Yes, I know about the Showcase Template. It doesn't work is what I'm saying. I also tried making some posts "sticky" but all that does it keep them at the top of the "posts" page. Where is the "featured posts" feature and why can't I seem to get mine to show it?
I even tried starting a brand new blog to see if I could get it to work there, still no luck. That "featured post" thing is one of the main reasons I like that theme. What am I missing? Thanks.
I'd like to confirm that you are using the following isntrauctions so we can determine what's not working for you. Please lete us know wxactly which step you are having trouble with.
To use the Showcase template, create or edit a page, and assign it to the “Showcase” template from the Page Attributes module. If you’d like use the Showcase template on your front page, go to Settings → Reading and set the “Home Page” option to “Static Page”. Select the page you just assigned the Showcase template to as your home page and then choose another page to serve as your blog page.
Featured slider
To add posts to the slider (which is part of the Showcase page template), mark some posts as Sticky. If you’d like Featured Images to appear inside the slider with your posts, make sure they are at least 180 pixels wide.
Yes, I've done all of that without luck. What about the last part though. Does there have to be an image for it to create a featured post?
I've tried all of that with two different blogs and tried adding up to 10 posts and tried just about everything I can think of. It's frustrating because I really like that theme.
Here's the new one I created. There is no header image in this one, but hopefully you can see what's going on. No featured section even though I made one post "sticky" and also chose the Showcase Template.

Thanks for your help.
You've set the blog front to display a showcase page, but you haven't turned any posts to stickies. And yes, the slider won't look good if you don't set a featured post to each sticky.
Sorry, not to be difficult, but post 7 is "sticky". That's what is keeping it at the top of the "posts" page. But for some reason it won't show up as "featured" in the main page.
I figured it out!!! You have to have more than one sticky post before it will create a "featured posts" section. Got it!
@dsclark7
Thanks for returning to this thread and clearing up this mystery. Bookmarked! :)
Sorry, my bad: I was fooled because I checked the sourcecode of your page, and the expected marking wasn't there. The correct answer is the one you found in the meantime.
Hi, i am trying to activate splendio theme too but i also have a problem. I created the posts and added the featured images which are 180 px or wider. But althought i can see the featured posts slider, it doesn't show the images. Any help?
I had that same problem with YouTube's. They show up nicely in regular posts but in the featured section they don't show at all. ???
Think i got it, but not with an happy end :( when i set a featured image it tries to press it with and address butit doesnt work annymore. So thats why it cant showup the image.
http://s.wordpress.com/imgpress?fit=180,180&url=....[imageurl]
Think i cant be able to use that feature.
Ohh yes :) I got it onmy own again. Its not about the site, its about my privacy settings. I set up my blog private so i can work it on, but when i do this the images become unreachable, so the imgpress can't work.
