Feature Suggestion – Include Featured Image Options

  • I am using the HitMag Pro theme.

    Most of the time I do not want the Featured Image to show up in the actual blog post.

    Can you PLEASE modify the theme to make the Featured Image OPTIONAL?

    Most other themes I use on other WordPress blogs have the option to display the Featured Image or not, and if displayed, where to place it (Left, Right, Center, or Full alignment). I’d really like to see this same flexibility with the HitMag Pro theme!

    Currently, I am adding custom code to the CSS area in the Customize area for this theme to hide the featured image for each and every blog post. The CSS area is getting VERY full as a result, and I am guessing having this much information in the CSS area is also slowing down my website. Plus the fact that this is just one extra step I would like to avoid.

    I sincerely hope this is something you can change in an updated release.

    Thank you!

    I just saw the update for the theme, and there is now the option to Show or Hide the Featured Image in the Customizer. Thank you for that.

    Unfortunately, this is an all or nothing switch. If it’s on, the Featured Images appear on the blog posts. If this option is turned off, the Featured Images do not show. But there is no way to turn this feature on or off for individual blog posts.

    There are some blog posts where the Featured Images works well (although it would be nice to be able to choose the alignment), and other blog posts where the Featured Images isn’t needed. Having this option as a checkbox on each individual blog post is far more flexible. Especially moving forward.

    Right now, I use the CSS to hide the Featured Image on the posts I want it hidden. Yet, other posts have the Featured Image and is needed there. Because of this, I can’t use this new On/Off switch in the Customizer. If I turn the Featured Image off, I would then have to go back through all the blog articles that need the Featured Image to make sure to add that image as an image in the blog article so it still shows up.

    Going forward, it would just be more flexible to be able to choose this option on a per blog article basis. For example, this screenshot shows another blog I have (using a different theme) and how you can turn on or off the featured image per blog article – https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1035/5433/files/FeaturedImageOptions.jpg?1213959513362476389

    Maybe this can be added as a future change?

    Thanks again for being responsive to suggestions.
