Hello,

The last days/weeks I saw some blogs and questions of people who wanted to change their page in a post and vice versa.
So once there was a question of someone: how can I put a featured image into a page?

This goes like this:

REF:

Add the following line into your theme at the bottom of the functions.php file (with the editor in the appearance menu):

/*
* Add also feature images on pages
*/

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'page' ) );

Then in your page.php file and you just add the line below within the page loop:

<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

A loop starts with "<?php while" and ends with "endwhile; ?>", so choose an "empty" line somewhere between these 2 statements and you're good to go...

The function we just added will show your featured image on a page if it has one assigned.

If anybody needs more info or some help with implementing this: Don't hesitate!

Grtz,

Bert
