Welcome to my blog with some of my work in progress. I've been working on posting more street photos in Tokyo.

Is /images a subdir of the dir `_index.md` is in? If so, you can’t do that with ‘branch bundles’, the image has to be in the same dir as the \_index.md, or in /images/assets, or /static/images/, depending on the theme and what `featured_image` actually does based on the theme’s layouts.

Thank you for the response Daniel. I am using the Ananke theme and I moved all of the images to the /static/images/ path and the featured\_images are still not displayed on netlify.

At this point I’d say you need to read and follow [Requesting Help](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132), especially the part about providing a public repo with the issue, or a reproducible test case with a public repo that we can look at.

One other ‘guess’ I have though, is that `baseURL` is not set correctly in your `config.toml`.

Thank you it seemed to be the baseURL since I changed the CNAME at some point. Next time I will post my repo if I have more issues.
