How Do I Set the First Image as a Featured Image in WordPress?

The Featured Image is the main image that is displayed on the home page of your WordPress blog. It is important to choose an image that represents your blog well and will help attract visitors. The easiest way to set the Featured Image is to go to the Appearance > Customize > Featured Image screen and drag and drop the image you want to use into the space provided. Be sure to choose a high-quality image that will look good on all devices.

You can also set a Featured Image for each post. To do this, go to the Post Details screen and under the “Featured Image” header, type in the URL of the image you want to use. When you are ready to publish your post, click the “Featured Image” link under the “Published” header. WordPress will take you to the post’s settings screen and you can set the image as the post’s Featured Image.
