Hi – I’ve just started to use the Vantage theme and have have a question about the featured images within posts. From the forum I’ve worked out how to limit the width of the featured image using:

 article.post .entry-header .entry-thumbnail img, article.page .entry-header .entry-thumbnail img {
width: auto !important; 

That works fine but ideally I would like the featured image to appear within the body of the post text (ie. left aligned at top with text wrapped round). I know I can do this by turning off the featured image in the theme settings and then inserting it into the post using the ‘Add media’. However is there a better way to get the featured image into the body text by amending the CSS? I hope so as I have many posts with images.

    Hi AndrewL

    As you said, the easiest way to achieve this would be to manually insert the image into your post and make it left-aligned. It would be possible to automatically insert it, but you’d need to create a child theme for this.

    Unfortunately, this is only possible with a fair amount of custom coding. This is beyond the scope of what we can help you with on the forums, but you could hire a developer to implement this for you.

    We highly recommend using https://codeable.io/.

    Hi Greg, thanks for your response. For now I’ll stick with standard the Vantage theme options and as you suggest just turn off showing the full width featured image on single posts and manually insert the same image into the body of the post. I guess I should be using a child theme anyway in case I make any minor changes through the CSS editor.

    Thanks also for your link to codeable – that looks like a great resource. Andrew
