After looking around the web for a good tutorial, I really couldn’t find what that accomplished what I was looking to do.
It sounds simple. I want to add a featured image to a page in Genesis. No problem right? Not exactly. Genesis doesn’t work like a normal wordpress site, but then if you are reading this post, you probably already know that.
So after reading a bunch of complicated tutorials that didn’t work, I stumbled on one that wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but gave me a new direction to try.
So we need to add this to our functions.php file. Always make a back up first.
So Here it is:
First we have to create the image size we want. In my case I wanted one that was 960px wide and 150px high.
add_image_size( 'featured-single', 960, 150, TRUE );
The TRUE means it can be cropped.
Next we have to add the following code:
add_filter ( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'your_custom_header' );
function your_custom_header () {
echo '
echo the_post_thumbnail( 'featured-single' );
echo '
';
}
So we are using a filter to display our new “featured-single” in a function called your_custom_header.
You can put it wherever you want. The visual hook guide is very helpful.
In my case I put I wanted to put it before the content, but you can put it wherever you want.
Very simple. It took a lot of searching to find this, but I am happy now that it works.

We typically ask you for a few examples of websites you like so we can create a mock-up for you to review. You will also need to provide us with the content for the website; in other words, what goes on the pages. This has proven in the past to be the longest hold up…
How long does it take to build a website?
For a relatively small website – 10 pages or less, we can usually have your website completed in about a month. Larger websites may take longer, and we will quote as best we can when we see your project.
Do you outsource to India or other countries?
Absolutely, 100% No! You can be sure everything about your website will be done here in the USA. The reason for that is simple; we care about the quality of our work and the satisfaction of our customers. Truth be told, we can make a lot more money changing US prices and outsourcing, but the…
