Ummm, no actually. We are guessing that if we disabled Ezoic, the script that the other participant provided would actually work. But it is a php script that is really a bit of a work around and I was still waiting to see, going back to the original question, Is there any built-in option to move the featured image to below the first paragraph of text? If there isn’t, can you please tell us which file we need to edit manually with theme php file modification?
I never got an answer to the question because I said I would try the workaround suggested by another participant. And now I’ve returned because it didn’t work for me.
Hi Mike,
I find your answer to be a bit of a non-answer. I’m going to assume it’s because you don’t remember the contents of this thread and the suggested solution, so let me review it for you. Another participant gave me a code to try to move the featured image. It does, indeed work but it cannot work properly with Ezoic’s script delay features.
You actually never offered a solution to moving the featured image, I just went with the first one offered, by another participant like me. So I’m circling back to find out if your team has a way to move the featured image from the top of the page to another location. Last I knew you were looking into it but when someone else came up with a solution, you never came back with further information. So I want to know if you have a way of changing the placement of the featured image, which is currently in the outdated position at the top of the page.
Thank you for your help on this.
Unfortunately, the script did not work. Well, it did work. However it isn’t loading at the correct time. The image first appears at the top, then after the rest of the page loads, it jumps to the new position. We think this might be caused by Ezoic, the ad network but we aren’t sure if it is or how to correct it. For the present, we removed the script.
Any other suggestions?

The TOC is automatically inserted above the first h2 tag. As I mentioned, not all posts have the TOC because it has to be added manually so we’re phasing it in as posts are updated. Would the above script always place the featured image just below the first paragraph, regardless of h2 and or toc placement?
The short paragraph is the exception not the norm (although we do try to keep paragraphs to 4 sentences or less for reading ease.
A typical first paragraph might look more like this: https://www.eatsomethingsexy.com/wine-for-a-romantic-picnic/
I would rather have it under the first paragraph than the second because if the first and second paragraphs are both long and there’s a table of contents, the image is quite far down. I’d rather be able to adjust the size of the first paragraph if necessary than have the image that far down.
Thanks, Mike. I see this might be a little more complicated than I first thought. So it isn’t a recipe-specific site, although about 1/3 of content is recipes. But the jump to recipe (obviously) only appears on recipe posts. Also with the table of contents, we’re phasing it in, but it doesn’t appear on older posts.
Is there any way to set the image to appear after the first paragraph of text, regardless of whether there’s a jump to recipe button and/or table of contents appearing above the first paragraph? Here’s an example of a recipe site that structures recipe post content much the same way we do, except that she doesn’t use a TOC. https://www.recipetineats.com/chicken-pad-thai/ But do you see how her featured image appears after the first paragraph?
Most food sites are going in this direction now so that you get some of the vital info above the fold. If we can’t get the image below the first paragraph, can we get it below the page title at least? That would be a plan b. Not as good but at least there’s some information above the fold.
By below the headline do you mean below the article title?
I am interested in moving it to below the first paragraph so that more than just the site title and featured image show above the fold. Studies show that, at least for food sites, this positioning is much better for retaining customers. It’s easy to see why when you visit a site such as mine. You get no information at all above the fold, just a picture. There is nothing to entice you to stay.
Leading with the photo is an outdated style and I’d love to find a way to update my site without having to give up Enfold, which I love.
Oh, here Guenni007, I didn’t realize you were a participant. https://www.eatsomethingsexy.com/limoncello-cocktail/
So there’s no way to change the location of the featured image without removing it altogether and inserting it manually? We’re looking to change the placement of the featured image for all 800+ posts. If we use the code above, then no post will have a featuerd image until we get around to reinserting it manually 800 times? I am hoping that I’m misunderstanding you because that’s not really a solution.
Good morning,
The difference is that we aren’t running the ad network in the staging site. We were pretty much under the assumption that the ad network is at the heart of this issue. I’ve taken this information back to my webmaster. But I have some concerns about trying your suggestions because we already have so many layers of caching that they sometimes mess each other up (Varnish plus the ad network has 2 different layers of caching.) There isn’t any way we can identify what’s creating the problem?
We’ll take a look. As a general rule, when a problem arises, we find that the source is Ezoic. We’ve had many issues with the ad network not playing nicely with the Enfold theme. The file that you previously found problematic was Ezoic’s.
I can;t remember whether we tried it. I’m double-checking with my team. But the issue started recently and we haven’t added any new plugins.
Yes! We just figured out what happened right before you responded. Perhaps you did a reset on settings? The notion that allows it to show was disabled but we enabled it again moments before you looked at it.
Thanks for the quick response.
As for the rest, does merging appear to be working now that we cleared Varnish and Ezoic caches?
Our hosting has Varnish and Ezoic, the ad network, has a JS/CSS opaimization service along with their custom page cache. All of these just got cleared.
I’m now seeing a message on sidebar that says our Mailchimp signup was disabled in the theme settings and the signup box no longer appears/sirgnup function no longer works. So that’s a new problem!
We have not changed the login page. If you are having trouble, perhaps try clearing your browser history and try again. Although I’m still curious why you need admin access to the site when in the previous thread, someone was able to identify the problematic file immediately without access to the site.
The newest version showed up today and we were able to install it without adding the plugin. However, the error remains, exactly as it was before the update. Please advise.
I’m sorry. When I go to your update page, this is the message I get, “No Updates available. You are running the latest version! (4.9.2.3)”. There is nothing for me to update.
Sorry about that. Details below.
Not sure how the gentleman who helped us before was able to identify the problem file without login credentials but he was, so I was totally unprepared for your request.
