How to remove featured image from the main blog post?

Do you mean in the single post view? You’d need to edit the single.php template and remove the code that displays the featured image (it will say something like the_post_thumbnail).

If you’re planning to change page templates, though, you will want to build a child theme in order to avoid having your changes overwritten when there’s an update to the theme. Instructions for building a basic child theme are here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes.

Thanks for the reply Sallie. There is no mention of thumbnail in the single.php file. Can you please advise how to go about it now?

Here is what is there in the single.php file:

———————————————————————-
<?php
// Default template – post-final-default.psd

global $loop_module_id, $loop_sidebar_position, $post;

//global $wp_query;
//var_dump($wp_query->query_vars);

td_global::load_single_post($post);

/* —————————————————————————-
the post template (single article template)
*/

get_header();

//set the template id, used to get the template specific settings
$template_id = ‘home’; //home = blog index = blog – use the same settings from the blog index

//prepare the loop variables

//read the global settings
$loop_sidebar_position = td_util::get_option(‘tds_’ . $template_id . ‘_sidebar_pos’); //sidebar right is default (empty)
$loop_module_id = 1; //use the default 1 module (full post)

//read the primary category sidebar position! – we have to make the page after the primary category or after the global setting
$primary_category_id = td_global::get_primary_category_id();
if (!empty($primary_category_id)) {
$tax_meta_sidebar = td_util::get_category_option($primary_category_id, ‘tdc_sidebar_pos’);//swich by RADU A, get_tax_meta($primary_category_id, ‘tdc_sidebar_pos’);
if (!empty($tax_meta_sidebar)) {
//update the sidebar position from the category setting
$loop_sidebar_position = $tax_meta_sidebar;
}
}

//read the custom single post settings – this setting overids all of them
$td_post_theme_settings = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘td_post_theme_settings’, true);
if (!empty($td_post_theme_settings[‘td_sidebar_position’])) {
$loop_sidebar_position = $td_post_theme_settings[‘td_sidebar_position’];
}

//set the content width if needed (we already have the default in functions)
if ($loop_sidebar_position == ‘no_sidebar’) {
$content_width = 980;
}

//send the sidebar position to gallery
td_global::$cur_single_template_sidebar_pos = $loop_sidebar_position;

//increment the views counter
td_page_views::update_page_views($post->ID);

//added by Radu A. check if this post have a post template to be display with.
//if not use the default site post template from Theme Panel -> Post Settings -> Default site post template
$td_default_site_post_template = td_util::get_option(‘td_default_site_post_template’);

if(empty($td_post_theme_settings[‘td_post_template’]) and !empty($td_default_site_post_template)) {
$td_post_theme_settings[‘td_post_template’] = $td_default_site_post_template;
}

// sidebar position used to align the breadcrumb on sidebar left
$td_sidebar_position = ”;
if($loop_sidebar_position == ‘sidebar_left’) {
$td_sidebar_position = ‘td-sidebar-left’;
}

I was exploring theme panel and there is an option to disable Featured image! That got the job done!!

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated!
