hello,

the featured images from my blog entries or articles are not shown above the article. is there anyway to make them appear or do i have to post them inside the article?

Hi bjoern,

You can use the custom code below to display the featured image above the post but unfortunately, that would require lots of work to style it. Try using a larger image and see if it helps. Insert the code below into your theme functions.php file. Let us know how it goes.
```
add_filter( 'the_content', 'dt_the_content_filter', 1 );
function dt_the_content_filter( $content ) {
    if ( is_singular( 'post') ) {
        $thumb = get_the_post_thumbnail();
        $content = $thumb.$content;
    }
    // Returns the content.
    return $content;
}
```

Thank you for the quick answer!

But, the featured images i use for the blogentries are all 650×360 px. when i place an even bigger one, it stays the same. so it seems that it gets cropped inside the theme..

Hi,

that really depends on the theme, its css and your media settings.

If you provide a link and admin credentials, we will have a look.

Thanks

Hi,

I’m not sure there is an option for that. I asked to the developers to let us know.

Thanks

Replace the code posted by kc, with this code
```
add_filter( 'the_content', 'dt_the_content_filter', 1 );
function dt_the_content_filter( $content ) {
    if ( is_singular( 'post') ) {
        $thumb = '<div class="thumb-banner">'.get_the_post_thumbnail().'</div>';
        $content = $thumb.$content;
    }
    // Returns the content.
    return $content;
}
```
Now add this css to GD custom css setting
```
.thumb-banner img {
   width: 100% !important;
   display: block;
}
```

Thanks a lot! Already much better.. Anyways i have another issue here. Those images seem to get cropped in height. is there any way to permit that?

this is the article: http://prnt.sc/bvmy03
and when i open just the image, you can see that it is cropped like in the image attached.

so, when i try to change the height in css, the image gets stretched away from original proportions. any idea how i can get rid of this?

thanks a lot

you need full width image. So it has 100% width. If you are using 100% width, you must use auto height.

If you don’t want to crop thumbnails visit
```
Settings -> Media
