Hi everyone,

I would like to hide the featured image on specific posts. My idea is to create a custom field (hide_featured_image") and set its value to "yes". Then use some php code like the following:

-----
$shouldHideFeaturedImage = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'hide_featured_image', true);

if ( $shouldHideFeaturedImage != 'yes' ) {
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail('medium');
}
}
-----
Am I on the right track here? And where would I put this code? People told me I should look for the single.php file but I can't find it.

Thanks!
Emanuel

How about just using CSS targeted to those specific pages and featured images?

The problem with that is that it is a daily news site, and there are many content contributors. I need them all to be able to choose whether the featured image displays inside the post or not.

You will need to make some changes in bfa_post_parts.php arond line 149 (v 3.7.12)

Actually Juggledad, that affects the display of the thumbnail on multi-post pages. What I am wanting to do is remove the featured image from select "single-post" pages.

OMG never mind! I'm the one who added a widget area to the single post pages then used a php-enabled text widget in order to display the featured image there to begin with!!!

It was just so long ago I forgot.

I thought the featured image was showing up on single post pages automatically.

Problem solved. Thanks!

Featured images are for multi post pages. And if you don't want the featured image why not remove it from the post edit page?
