The Featured Image widget is a Theme Element. It is one of the available Single Post Template widgets that is used to dynamically display the current post’s featured image.

- Choose Image: Featured Image is the only option (see note below).
- Image Size: Select the size of the image, from thumbnail to full, or enter a custom size
- Alignment: Align the image to the left, center, or right
- Caption: Enter text to be included as a caption under every Featured Image. Note that the same caption will be displayed under each. This is not dynamic.
