ParticipantI put an image block on to the top of the blog page in Infinity and add a picture but when I go to view it the pix does not show.
Is this not possible with Infinity?
Thanks.

ParticipantThere was no html generated. See for yourself:

You can see how I put an image block on the blog page with a pix of a Pen in it... but it does not show on the site!
What did I do wrong?
Thanks!

ParticipantI finally figured out how to get this done since it looks like Infinity's blog page is not totally in sync with Gutenburg.
See: https://sundaygospeltalk.com/wp/postings/
First I created a 'sticky' post with no title and nothing on it except the picture of the pen. It was 'post-124'
I then added the following CSS to get rid of the meta data and some of the padding to move the pix up higher next to the blog-page title (Postings).
.post-124 p.entry-meta { display: none; } .post-124 p.entry-permalink { display: none; } .post-124 .entry-header { display: none; } .archive-description, .author-box, .breadcrumb { border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0px; }
If there is a better way to do it, I'd love to see it.

ParticipantYou'd think there must be a better way. Maybe a different block might work otherwise i would contact StudioPress and see if your theme is fully supported for blocks.

Participantif your theme is fully supported for blocks.
Infinity has been around for many, many years and it has been updated with the block editor... but obviously not completely. I'm glad it was 'free' to me since I bought a life-license to Studio Press about 10 years ago. I surely would not pay for it now.
We like to build out client sites with the Genesis middleware for it's security and strength. Not once in the ten years we've been in business has a Genesis site ever crashed after a WP update (like they did when we used Elegant themes just starting out.)
I liked the Studio Press philosophy of employing a theme for just "look and feel" while functionality is provided by plugins. But it looks like the developer-world is moving away from that given the huge popularity of all-in-in themes like "7" and "X" and Arvada.

ParticipantYou're right. When i test the image block on a standard page it displays but when i set that page as the posts page, it doesn't.

Do you know if this is just on Infinity or on all Studio Press themes?
Do you know of anyone at S.P. I should contact? You've been here for many, many years!
Thanks.

ParticipantSame problem when using Genesis Sample.
I don't know anyone at Studiopress but you could submit a pull request https://github.com/studiopress/genesis-sample/pulls
Or
Use their contact form https://www.studiopress.com/contact/

ParticipantIt was a PITA but I was able to get the picture up there via some CSS as I noted above.
Now the only problem I have is that when I scroll the home page and the site-title changes from white on black to black on white, when I hover over it, it now turns white!! I can't find the class with the "hover when scrolled" CSS to set the color to black and not white after scroll.
I set the Chrome Inspector to "hover" but so far I can't find where the color changes. It works fine for the menu items but not site title.
If you have an idea on where to look please let me know.
