# Adding Post Thumbnails

 * I’m using the recent posts as my landing page, I would like to add the thumbnail
   to the excerpt. I’ve added to the function.php, but not certain if there is something
   to be added to another script, the ‘featured image’ field is not showing in edit
   posts either. My current image is embedded into the post
 *     ```
       /** Add theme support for Feed Links. */
       	add_theme_support( 'automatic-feed-links' );
   
       	/** Add theme support for Custom Background. */
       	add_theme_support( 'custom-background', array( 'default-color' => 'fff' ) );
   
       	/** Set content width. */
       	chiron_set_content_width( 640 );
   
               <strong>/** Add theme support for Post Thumbnail. */
               add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );</strong>
   
       	/** Add custom image sizes. */
       	add_action( 'init', 'chiron_add_image_sizes' );
       ```

 * Looking at the code of this theme ( not the one posted in the OP but from the
   theme’s svn ) it already does that for you.
 * All you need to do is configure it under Theme Setting page. Choose to display
   excerpt and the featured image will automatically display.

 * I wish that was the case but it is not, something is amiss or not configured 
   properly. There is no ‘featured image’ widget in the post sidebar, I’m adding
   the image manually embedding it into the post. The landing page displays text
   only excerpts.

 * Do you mean you can’t assign image as featured due to missing UI ?
 * If that’s so, while editing post, pull down the Screen Option Tab over at the
   top and checkbox on Featured Image.

 * Thank you for your reply, I’ve been able to set the thumbs, I’m still not certain
   on the alignment, but I’m on the right path.
