single.php images

Hi Larry

Thanks for your support.

The single featured images are positioned within a constrained container. There, unfortunately, isn’t an easy way to remove that constraint to allow the featured image to be 100% screen width. It’s possible but would require custom development to re-design where the content constraints are and take the featured image outside of those constraints. If you’re interested in going the custom development route we recommend https://codeable.io.

Here is what I’d look at doing:

1. Use a child theme.
2. Copy (not cut) content-single.php from the parent to the child theme.
3. Remove and cut the following lines:

			<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() && siteorigin_setting('blog_featured_image') ): ?>
				<div class="entry-thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail( is_active_sidebar('sidebar-1') ? 'post-thumbnail' : 'vantage-thumbnail-no-sidebar' ) ?></div>
			<?php endif; ?>

4. Copy header.php from the parent to the child theme.

5. Edit header.php and insert the lines we cut earlier. They should be inserted just above:

<?php do_action( 'vantage_before_main_container' ); ?>

6. Edit the code we just insert and add one more conditional to check if we’re on the single post page. Final result will be:

	<?php if( is_single() && has_post_thumbnail() && siteorigin_setting('blog_featured_image') ): ?>
		<div class="entry-thumbnail"><?php the_post_thumbnail( is_active_sidebar('sidebar-1') ? 'post-thumbnail' : 'vantage-thumbnail-no-sidebar' ) ?></div>
	<?php endif; ?>

That works. Once it’s done I could look at helping getting the design side tweaked.

Do you have a public URL where we can take a look at what’s going on? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.

Thanks, checking your source code, for example: https://www.yourplatform.biz/articles/why-you-should-never-use-a-website-builder-to-design-your-website/. I can still see the featured image in it’s original code position within the article tag. Are you sure it was moved from content-single.php and inserted into header.php within the child theme?

Would you mind zipping your child theme and emailing it to me at Private Snippet?

Thanks
