Hi cecilia,
Goto dashboard -> appearance -> customize -> advanced options -> home page/ blog category settings and select your news category to display only posts from your news category.
Our default is blog image large. So blog image medium template will not work for it. It needs some code customziation on the default theme layout from blog image large to blog image medium. Go to theme folder -> inc -> structure -> content-extensio.php on line no 132 to 141 you will find below code
<?php
if( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
$image = '';
$title_attribute = the_title_attribute( array( 'echo' => false ) );
$image .= '<figure class="post-featured-image">';
$image .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="'.the_title( '', '', false ).'">';
$image .= get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'featured', array( 'title' => esc_attr( $title_attribute ), 'alt' => esc_attr( $title_attribute ) ) ).'</a>';
$image .= '</figure><!-- .post-featured-image -->';
echo $image;
} ?>
replace with
<?php
if( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
$image = '';
$title_attribute = the_title_attribute( array( 'echo' => false ) );
$image .= '<figure class="post-featured-image">';
$image .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '" title="'.the_title( '', '', false ).'">';
$image .= get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'featured-medium', array( 'title' => esc_attr( $title_attribute ), 'alt' => esc_attr( $title_attribute ) ) ).'</a>';
$image .= '</figure><!-- .post-featured-image -->';
echo $image;
} ?>
We recommended not to change the code because if you change the code then while updating to our new version all your customisation code will be lost. So better make child theme and first unhook the functions and the edit the code.
