I have not found the solution so far by reading the documentation on the subject, nor by looking at previous answers in this forum.

As I don’t have images highlighted in the posts, in the blog page you can only see the texts of the articles.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello, @edwinapnunez,

We hope this message finds you well. We understand that you may be interested in setting a featured image for your post on your site and possibly changing the post image style. Here are the steps to do so:

To set the featured image for your post, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to WP-Dashboard >> Posts.
2. Edit the specific post from the backend.
3. In the right sidebar of the page backend, you will find the featured image option.
4. Set the featured image from there.

For your reference, please see this screenshot: https://postimg.cc/6yJ5CBTf

If you wish to change the post-image style, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Xstore >> Theme Options >> Blog >> Single Post.
2. Choose the layout from there according to your requirements.

Hi Tony, I know that normally the widget is on the right sidebar and I am very surprised to see the screenshot that you sent me, because it appears to you and not to me, that’s the problem, that after the Post Format widget follows the Excerpt widget and not the Featured Image widget.

I attach the screenshot. https://postimg.cc/34GvNgpZ

Thank you for your help.

Hi Tony, I have already done it several times, I even changed my browser from chrome to edge and firefox and still the featured image widget does not appear.

this screenshot is in the edge browser which i have never used to manage wordpress

I have looked and the featured image option does not appear even in the wordpress panel preferences.

from all the information I have looked on the internet, there is none that talks about this problem, the closest thing is a wordpress forum that talks about theme compatibility with “add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );” but I have no idea what that means.

After watching videos on youtube I discovered that the problem is generated by an option in the general preferences of the editor in which an action is requested prior to publication, this option should be disabled.

Attached is a screenshot.
