I’m trying to hook into the featured image, to put something above it. It seems I’ve only been able to put something below it.
Is there a Newspaper-specific hook for featured images that I can use to put content above the featured image?
TIA
Hi,
What would you like to put above the featured image? Are you referring to single post pages or modules? For example when using cloud post templates you can easily add content around the featured image

In default post templates it would require modifications to the post template files

The respective element you want to display can be placed above or below the image code.
In modules it would require modifications to the desired module

Hi Simon,
I’m asking about how to do it programatically, using a WordPress hook. Yes I want it done to the Posts template.
If I edit those files though, won’t it break during the next upgrade?
Hi,
You can edit the post templates safely in a child theme, this way the modifications made to them will not be lost after a theme update

So you could do it like this, a child theme is considered a safe method to modify the theme files (the ones that are supported as mentioned in the guide).
