Hide featured image on selected posts

Please explain more about this, as I think you are trying to hide featured image for certain posts and that can be done through un-setting this image while editing those posts.

Thank you.

Not quite hide altogether, just on the full Post page. It would still show as a thumbnail image on the blog and through other post preview applications.

So, no featured image on single posts view?

Ok – Are you good with Child themes? create one, quick and simple, activate it, and add a new file in the child theme, name it content.php.

Edit content.php file, paste this code in it:
https://themes.svn.www.ads-software.com/twentytwelve/1.7/content.php

Go to the 20th line,
Edit this:

<?php if ( ! post_password_required() && ! is_attachment() ) :

Make it:

<?php if ( ! post_password_required() && ! is_attachment() && !is_single() ) :

Save, and let me know how it goes.

Hi,

In the content.php file there is no line of code you specified (in fact, nothing with the word “password”).

Sorry,

I assume your theme is outdated, maybe.

Well then, go to content.php, and search for ‘thumbnail’, and paste here the part of the code which contains it.

Thanks!

<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

Okay make it:

<?php if(!is_single()) { the_post_thumbnail(); } ?>

And let me know how it goes.

That works to hide the featured image, but on all Posts. I wish to hide it on only selected posts.

I have this ability on another Theme. You can see the option here: https://karnaliexcursions.com/?attachment_id=739.

Sorry, you should have said that from the beginning. no worries.

<?php if(!is_single( array(1,2,3) )) { the_post_thumbnail(); } ?>

Change 1,2,3 with the post IDs ( those posts you don’t want the featured image to appear in the single view, it will appear in index pages like homepage )
