Feature

Feature posts are for your home page. They display your latest feature article with a feature image and a post excerpt.

You can choose the category or tag that your latest feature article should be pulled from by going to your WordPress dashboard and selecting Design > Structure Settings > Feature.

The feature image

The best way to show a feature image is to add an image URL to a custom field Value of a Key named Feature Image” (this is case sensitive).

If there is no feature image defined by custom field, the theme will look for an image attached to your post. If there is one, it will take the first and use that as the feature image. “Attached” means that you uploaded the image to your post from the Write Post screen using the media uploader for that particular post, not some other post.

Feature Excerpt

The feature article only displays your post excerpt. If you want to prettify your excerpt or show custom text, then do this. Scroll down to the Optional Excerpts box in your WordPress dashboard Write Post screen. Type in the text you want to see shown with the feature image.
