Hi there, Minnow does not have featured images. You can read more about the features on the Minnow Theme Showcase page.

You could add featured images to Mnnow though using a child theme. You can find out more here.
If you have not yet done so, I would suggest creating a child theme so that any customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme update.

Here is a tutorial I found that might help as well.
Hi there,
I recently added a thumbnail function to my Minnow childtheme by copying add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); to my functions.php and by copying <?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail'); ?>to the loop in my index.php and single.php.
Works fine.
However, I wondered if it were possible to display the photo-credits of the thumbnail image in the actual thumbnail. Preferably at the bottom right of the image in a neat small font size.
Any solutions? I’m stuck…
Many thanks
jma_christenhusz – this would be probably be most easily handled by adding a credit yourself to the image in a graphics program before you upload it. Other methods are certainly possible – such as adding a custom field – but they are much more complicated. If you need further help, please start a new thread.
