Add featured image to page, after header

[fireflyloft]

I am working on my first custom theme. I would like to add the featured image to each page so that it displays under the header but before the content/sidebar. I am having trouble figuring out how to get the featured image to show up on the pages. Can anyone help?

Thanks!!

Add this to your functions.php file:

add_action('genesis_after_header', 'child_custom_images');
function child_custom_images() { ?>
<!-- Add your HTML here -->
<?php }

Hi John - thanks for code. Will this also work on getting the featured image to display on blog posts?

Ah, I misread the original question, actually. The code above is to display a presumably static image. In order to add a featured image below the header to blog pages, the code would look like:

add_action('genesis_after_header', 'child_custom_images');
function child_custom_images() {
if (is_single()) { ?>
<?php 
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
  the_post_thumbnail();
} ?>
<?php }}

This code will only display on post pages, and will check to see if the post has a thumbnail (featured image) assigned to it. If it does, it will display it. If it does not, it will not display anything.
