Blog Featured Image

Hello @wpweddings,

Just to make sure I am understand this correct, are you referring to this image (see my screenshot): https://gyazo.com/64c89c461edd8610c98487331adbdf3a ?

Thank you,
Mihaela

Yes, that is the image box I am referring to. I want it removed from the blog page. Can you help? Thanks!

Thank you for explaining, @wpweddings!
That is a placeholder image for the featured image of a post. If a post does not have a featured it will add that automatically.

You have two options: either you edit that post add a featured image for it or you hide the featured image from the blog page. But keep in mind that it will apply for all your posts on that page.
To hide it you can add this code in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.blog #content .post-thumbnail {
    display: none;
}

My recommendation would be add a featured image that will replace it. And it will look something like this: https://gyazo.com/b26df07d667ff2d43e4173c7affb89d2

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,
Mihaela

Thank you for your help. That code removes the box but it does not correct the spaces so the post still appears squeezed into part of the column only. And if I add a featured image, then it appears in my post, which I do not want. And if I add a featured image, the text is still squeezed into the side of the column as well. I’ve added a featured photo to show you, but the text doesn’t fit properly now still:

Hello @wpweddings,

You can leave the featured image on your blog page and remove it from inside your post if that works better for you.
To remove it from posts add this code in Additional CSS:

.single-post #content .wp-post-image {
    display: none;
}

The text will not wrap around the image, as this is not how the blog page was designed. However, you can add a Read more tag so it does not show all your post’s content on the blog page. You can see an example on our demo: https://www.demos.machothemes.com/medzone-lite/blog/

In order to add a read more tag go to that post > edit it > and add the read more button after your first paragraph by clicking the button in my screenshot: https://gyazo.com/9b7eb7828f613d7131f4964614768692

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,
Mihaela
