Featured Image Shows In Blog Posts

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

No, I haven’t and I don’t know if I know how to do that. When you deactivate does that remove them or will they still be there and you just click activate again? I’ve been working on this for 4 days straight, don’t really know what I’m doing and I would probably die if one wrong click messes up all my work for one featured image.

When you deactivate does that remove them or will they still be there and you just click activate again?

They will still be there and can be re-activated.

Hi again esmi,

I deactivated everything and it didn’t fix it. Now, as far as switching to Twenty Eleven theme, what happens to all of my stuff if I switch themes? With any of the specific little changes I made there be forgotten when I switch back? I’m guessing the featured image function isn’t supposed to work this way is what you’re saying? And in this case it could be the theme?

what theme are you using? and please post a url to your site. The featured image issue is ussually an easy fix, just gotta find the css.
And switching themes won’t hurt anythng, but if you have custom code in your template files, those customizations won’t appear in the new theme. They’ll come back when you swith back again.

It’s #35663 Template Monster https://livedemo00.template-help.com/wordpress_35663/

and my site I’m working on now is https://dev.butterflyinthecity.com/category/coming-up/

Custom code….the only special thing I did was copy code into HTML editor for the Events page.

Thanks for taking a look!

As this is a commercial theme and/or its template files are not publically accessible, you need to seek support from the theme’s vendors.

this is just a standard css fix, I tried it in firebug but I noticed it leaves a weird little white square, like a ul list square, where the image was.

.featured-thumbnail img {
display:none;
}

Thanks Deepbevel…sooo…now what? (remember, I’m a novice – I don’t quite know what that means but glad you do).

in your apperance settings, go to “editor” then find a file called “style.css” and paste that code at the very end.
Be sure it’s not inside an existing bracket for other code.

If it does nothing, or gives undesired results, remove it. if anything else starts looking odd on your site, remove it.

I added it. Nothing changed.

very odd, I can do a preview of it in firebug, I add display-none and the image goes away. This is a first for me. Was there only one css file?

There wasn’t an option once I clicked editor. It just opened to that page. And just so that I’m making it clear, on the page that says Coming Up… I want the image to appear there but when you click read on and actually go into the posts, I don’t want it to repeat. Just show the thumbnails inserted inside the post, yes?

It should only get rid of the featured thumb which appears on the full post but, not the excerpt image, that should remain.

I’m talking about the wordpress admin settings area, to the left there’s a long menu of tabs. Click Appearance, then Editor. Then on the editor page, there is a list of file links on the right side. Thats’s where you should see “style.css”.

However, when I look at your site I see post experpts with images. When I click one, it goes to a full post with a single thumbnail image.
I don’t see it repeated in the full post, just one image. This code will remove that image and you’ll have no image on the full post.

Understand that when you select a featured image on a post it put’s the image in your excerpt and your full post. That’ s normally fine. But often people want a bigger version of the image on the post, maybe linked to a larger attachment or light box. So if you embed a larger image in the post to acheive that, you still get the featured image as well. No one likes that.

So you only need this fix if you plan to do what I described. otherwise just assign the featured image and don’t embed it in the post.

I now realize I was looking at the wrong site, you posted 2 links. Still what I said will apply.
