Hello – looking to customize a layout in Essential Grid and want to call up the featured image in my layout. I can’t figure out what the meta handle is to call up the featured image used in a post. I’ve tried a few things, so I am basically seeking what to use where I have x_featured_image in the following snippet:

<div style="background-image: url(%x_featured_image%)"></div>
<div>
    <div class="cj-content">
        <h4><a href="%eg_aff_url%">%title%</a></h4>
        <p>%excerpt%</p>
   </div>
</div>
<div class="cj-clear"></div>

Thanks!

Hi There,

Thank you for the reply… I saw this, but couldn’t bring it full circle. I was attempting to make a custom layout with an image on the left and excerpt on the right with Essential Grid WITHOUT having to move (programmatically or manually) my featured image to a custom field. If I knew the name of the meta handle that X theme uses, then I could create an alias and I would assume I could easily call that. But maybe I got that wrong. Right now, I have found a tolerable layout that will preserve how the content is added as is. I have a couple of questions, but will start a new thread.

As always, thank you.

You’re most welcome, Olivia.
