11. Finally, click "Set Featured Image."

12. The image will appear on the right-side panel.

13. Now, it's crucial to click "Update" on the top left.

14. A message will appear on the below-left corner saying "Post updated."

15. So, the featured image will appear on the first post..

16. Now, just repeat the process for all your other posts.

I hope you found this training easy to follow. And that you now have a site you enjoy looking at.

I use featured images all the time once I found out what it meant.

Hi Yvonne,

Yes, featured Images can even help us with SEO by keeping people engaged with our site.

Thank you for stopping by and for your comment.

Have a nice day!

Excellent training thank you, Henry!
I don't use featured images because when I tried it (a while ago) the image could only be centred. It couldn't be positioned to the left or right. Has that changed by any chance?

Hi Richard,

Very pertinent question. And it depends on the theme you're using.

I would like to see what Theme you're using to help you specifically in your case.

But a general solution is achieved using Paint. If you want the image to be shifted to the left, add space to the right side of the image. And vice-versa.

It's simple. But, instead of telling you, I can show you how to prepare your Featured Images in Paint. Interested? Tell me, and I will prepare a quick update.

I use Generate Press Premium.
Currently, I use a plugin called Advanced Excerpt to create the excerpt's the way I like them. In my case I like the image on the left and words to the right.
If there's a better way of achieving that I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks
:-)

With Elementor's Featured Image widget you can move the location of your featured image.

There are also free WordPress plugins that allow you to customize your Featured Image. One of the most popular is Dynamic Featured Image. It allows you to add several Featured Images to the same post, among other features. But I am not sure if it allows you to move its location as Elementor does.
