Double Featured Images on Blog Page
Kari asked 4 years ago
Hiya,
I’m having some trouble trying to get the double featured images on my Blog Page and About Me page (as it looks in the Hello Beaches in the Blog Page demo). I’ve had no trouble adding it to my home page but when it comes to adding it to other pages, there are no options to do so.
I have tried following the steps but can’t seem to add these in. I’ve also tried seeing if there is a widget to add into the block so that I can add the featured images and also using the customise tab but this isn’t possible either.
Does anyone know if there is another way to add double featured images to the Blog Page and About Me page?
Any help on this would be great!
Thank you!

Hi Karishma! 🙂
To achieve the Double Featured Images on your homepage and blog:
1. Click on Create a Post or Edit a Post.
2. Go to the Document Tab on the right portion of the post. Upload a 1000 px by 1500 px photo to the
Featured Image Section, found just below TAGS, and another photo of the same size to the Secondary Featured Image Section, just below RESET RATINGS.
To create the Double Featured Images on your About Me Section:
1. Go to Dashboard.
2. Hover over Appearance and click on Customize.
3. Go to Widgets.
4. Click on About Images. You'll find 2 Genesis Featured Page Advance Widgets already installed in there.
5. Click on the Genesis FPA widget > click on Show Custom Image> upload your 1000 px by 1500 px photo> click on Enable Link>create your own Custom Page Title> click on Enable Page Title link.
6. Repeat the same process on the second Genesis FPA widget just below it. 🙂
Hiya Kaye! 🙂
Thank you sooo much for your quick reply!
This helped me so much so thank you! I’ve now managed to sort the pictures out for some of the pages!
I was wondering if you know how to get the pictures to overlap in the Blog page? For example in the Hello Beaches demo in the blog page if you click ‘Full Width’ it shows the images overlapping etc (the same as the homepage) but I can’t seem to find where I can upload them to look like that and overlap for that particular page (I hope I’m making sense!). I tried going into the blog page and editing it but when I click to edit the page it just shows up as completely empty and then when I click preview it shows the whole demo post.
Sorry for all the questions, I’m new to this!
Thank you! 🙂
Hi Kaye, sorry I just re did your instructions and it worked yaaaay!
Sorry for the confusion, but thank you so so much! 🙂
Hi Karishma! Based on my experience, as long as the photos are resized to 1000 x 1500, they will surely overlap. 🙂 No worries. 🙂 Thank you too. 🙂
Hi Karishma! I re-read your second post and I think I got your drift. Yes, the blog is empty. I think it's just a template or something. The featured image section inside it controls the second photo (center) found below your blog title. The first photo, the one on the left, constantly changes depending on your newest blog post. So if you want to use just one type of photo, simply upload the same one to your Featured Image Section whenever you create a post. Yes, it's the one that controls that left photo. If you want to change the third photo on the right, just go to the Contact Me page found on the Pages portion in the dashboard, and change the demo photo on the Featured Image Section as well. 🙂
Hiya Kaye! Thank you so much for explaining that all to me, I’m starting to make changes and hopefully will have the blog up and running soon thanks to your help! 🙂
Thank you so so much for your help, I really appreciate it 🙂
You’re very much welcome, Karishma! 🙂 All the best! 🙂
