Entry Content – Post Image

As part of the entry content, Genesis has a registered callback for building the post image. The function is genesis_do_post_image, which is found in genesis/lib/structure/post.php. By default it is set to a priority of 8, meaning it fires first before the content.

The post image will go out to the browser if:

• this is not a singular page, i.e. is_singular is false,
• the option for the featured image is checked in Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives,
• and the article has a featured image.

The magic of this functionality occurs within the Genesis helper function, genesis_get_image().

Let’s walk through the code.
