Your Featured Image, Placed Your Way
Put a featured image, video, or custom embed beside the title, inside the content, or above the headline, for one page or a whole post type.

The problem
A Featured Image Is Usually Just a Thumbnail
Most themes give you one fixed spot for the image and a box for everything else. Moving it, wrapping text around it, or swapping in a video takes custom work.
Without Md
- One image position for every post
- A video that needs its own plugin or template
- Images that crowd the title
- Tweaks lost in theme updates
With Featured Media
- Eight placements, from beside the title to above it
- Image, video URL, or your own HTML
- An image width you control
- Defaults by post type, overrides per page
How it works
Three Steps to Featured Media
Pick the media type, choose a position, then set the width.
Pick the media type
Choose an image, a video URL, or your own custom HTML.
Choose a position
Place it beside the title, inside the content, or before or after the headline.
Set the width
Size the image to fit your layout.
Placement
Eight Ways to Place It
Wrap the title, wrap the content, center it, or put it before or after the headline. Set it per post type, category, or page.
- Left, right, or center beside the title
- Left or right with the content wrapping around
- Before or after the headline, or hidden
Media types
More Than Just an Image
Switch a page to a video URL or your own HTML and it takes the same position an image would.
- Image uploads
- Video embeds from a URL
- Custom HTML for anything else
Everywhere
On Pages, Posts, and Archives
Featured media works on single pages and posts, archives, and categories. Author pages show the author’s avatar in the same position.
- Pages, posts, and archives

Questions
Questions, Answered
The things people ask most about Featured Media. Still curious? Read the docs.
Can I use a video instead of an image?
Yes. Change the media type to video and paste a video URL. A custom HTML option covers any other embed.
Can text wrap around the image?
Yes. The left and right placements wrap the content around the image, and the title-wrap placements wrap the title.
Can I set a default for every post?
Yes. Set it on the post type, then change it for a category or a single post. Anything you leave alone keeps inheriting.
What shows on author pages?
The author’s avatar, in whichever position you choose, as long as the author has one.
