Do you want to add featured images to
your posts on your WordPress theme? Well
keep watching in this video I'll show
you how you can set the future images
for all of your posts on your website.
Featured images are set by the theme
that you have on your site so yours
might look a little bit different. For
this website I'm using the WordPress
2017 theme and as you see as I'm
scrolling through the featured image is
set at the top of the post when I'm
scrolling through and then when you
click on the post and you actually go to
the individual post you see that it's
actually larger and each theme will set
this up differently but this is how this
theme is so you'll want to take a look
at that. To get this on your site go to
your WordPress dashboard, head over to
any of the posts that you have, open up
one of the posts that you want to work
with, and over on the right you'll see a
featured image meta box. Now if you don't
see that go up to your screen options
and click on that and make sure that
featured image is checked. Now if you
still don't see that, that means your
theme is not supporting featured images
you'll want to do one of two things. You
either need to switch themes to one that
does support featured images or you can
look through our tutorial to add the
code to your actual theme. If you do see
this you simply want to click on the
link to set the featured image. You'll
want to make sure you add the title and
the alt text for your image, click set as
featured image you'll see that come up
under here and then you can scroll up
and click update and now when you scroll
through your site you see that the
images are set as featured images for
all of your posts. Did you learn
