Weekend Website Bootcamp

Adding Featured Images to Pages

2 minutes

Step 1: Navigate to Pages

  • From your WordPress Dashboard, click on Pages in the left-hand menu.

  • Click on All Pages to see a list of your website pages.

Step 2: Open a Page for Editing

  • Find the page you want to add a featured image to (for example, your Home Page).

  • Important: Do not click “Edit with Elementor.”

  • Instead, click Edit under the page name to open the WordPress page editor.

Step 3: Set the Featured Image

  • On the right-hand sidebar, locate the Featured Image section.

  • Click Set Featured Image.

  • Choose an existing image from your Media Library or upload a new one.

  • Ideally, select an image that represents the page — such as:

    • A screenshot of your homepage.

    • Your business logo.

    • A beautiful product photo.

  • Click Set Featured Image once you’ve selected your image.

Step 4: Update the Page

  • After setting the featured image, click Update to save your changes.

  • That’s it — your page now has a featured image!

Step 5: Repeat for All Pages

  • Go through and set a featured image for every page you’ve created (Home, About, Services, Projects, Contact, etc.).

  • This ensures consistency and a professional look whenever your pages are shared.

Homework & Action Items

  • Add a featured image to your HomeAboutServicesProjects and Contact pages.

  • Make sure each featured image is relevant and visually appealing.

  • Update/save each page after setting the image.
