Dyad 2: Hide Featured Image on a single post

    On Dyad 2 Theme I am using the Featured Content slider which enables up to 6 posts to be displayed as slides on the homepage. Because the Slider is so large across the top of the page, I am taking full advantage of the space by using a very large featured image (1900×800). The problem is that when you view the individual post, such a large image displays poorly on the left-hand side of the screen!

    The Dyad 2 theme has an option under Customize=>Content Options to hide featured images on single posts, but it is site-wide and I only want to hide the featured image on the posts I have featured in the slider with the extra large images. Is there any way to do this?

    I tried using a plugin called “Conditionally display featured image on singular pages and posts”, but it did not work as I had hoped. It DOES hide the featured image, but it still splits the screen and just displays a blank black space on the left-hand side. Instead I want the page to format without the split screen (as it does if you simply remove the featured image) so that I can just add the wide banner image to the top of the page instead of to the left.

    EXAMPLES:
    This page shows the featured image being poorly cropped on the left-hand side of the page

    This page shows what happens when using the plugin to hide the featured image:

    This page shows what I want the page to look like instead:
    https://garnergrows.com/plant-sales-without-featured-image/
    The content slider can be viewed on the homepage:

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

  • Hi @garnergrows, hiding the featured image on specific posts would indeed leave a gap that you’d need to compensate for in other ways. It wouldn’t take a ton of custom design and development, but it’s definitely more than we can provide with a simple snippet here.

    Dyad does support more than one post format, though, and the image post format will put the featured image across the top of the page instead of cropping it on the side. Have you considered trying that?

    Wow, I am feeling pretty silly right now! The Image post format worked perfectly for what I needed… I can’t believe it was something so simple! Thanks so much @supernovia!

    No worries, the setting isn’t very obvious. I’m glad it worked for you!
