Essential Grid - First Content Image

[Kev]

I would like essential grid to pull the first content image. However, the only image on the Pro page is not pulling even though I have checked the box “First Content Image” and moved it to the top. What could be keeping it from pulling the first image?

I know if I selected “Featured Image” and set one that it will show up. The issue is that I don’t want to set Featured Images for the pages because I don’t want a featured image on the pages.

Here is a sample page I am pulling from:
https://www.clubministries.org/adventurers/adventurer-awards/awards-little-lambs/little-lamb-stars-bible-friends/

Here is a test page with essential grid:

Test Ess Grid | Club Ministries - North American Division

The first square should have the sample page image.

Here is the setting:

It seems to work with Posts, but sporadic with Pages.

Looks like I’ll just have to double my work by adding a source image to each page. :-\

Hello @Kev,

You may set Featured Image to the pages so that it will easily get pulled by Essential grid.

Then for pages not to display the featured image, you may add this CSS code in X > Theme Options > CSS:

.page .entry-featured {
    display: none;
}

Kindly note that since this is a custom code that changes the default behavior/display of the theme, you will be responsible to maintain or update the code in case you require further changes or if the code stops working in future updates. If you are uncertain how to proceed, it would be best to get in touch with a developer.

Hope this helps.
