Unable to display hero image

[siddharthram]

I am unable to get minimal mistakes to display the hero image. Here is the relevant sections of my _config.yml

header:
  image                  : /assets/images/inflection-logo.jpg

# Defaults
defaults:
  # _posts
  - scope:
      path: ""
      type: posts
    values:
      layout: single
      author_profile: true
      read_time: true
      share: true
      related: true
      comments: true

I am using the default home.html. The output can be seen at blog.inflection.com. Inspector in chrome does not issue a call for the hero image. I assume I have somehow misconfigured the theme.

The header image should be specified in page, not site.

If you want to apply that header to multiple posts you can include it in the defaults you have above. For example to have it show on all posts...

defaults:
  # _posts
  - scope:
      path: ""
      type: posts
    values:
      layout: single
      header:
        image: "/assets/images/inflection-logo.jpg"
      author_profile: true
      read_time: true
      share: true
      related: true
      comments: true

Thank you. Just to clarify: by page, do you mean home.html in _layouts? If not, could you just point me to the right section in the document?

By page I mean the front matter on each document (Markdown or HTML).

Check the Jekyll docs on this: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/

You should have something like this at the very top of your source file (e.g. example.md):

---
header:
  image: /assets/images/inflection-logo.jpg
---

Thank you, that resolves my problem! I'll submit a PR for the documentation which is not completely clear on this point - https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/configuration/ seems to imply that header: is in _config.yml.

I'd rather say it's with your understanding. The documentation clearly says:

This image can be overridden at any time by applying the following to a document's YAML Front Matter.
