    You mean there’s a section in the dashboard called “theme actions”?

    The options in this section might be reset when you activate your Child Theme, because the act of activating a Child Theme is the same as activating a new theme. You will still get the “theme actions” section of the dashboard in your Child Theme though.

    Anything you upload into WordPress is not saved in the theme’s files, it’s saved in the database. So changing themes will not lose your images.

    Could you post your question to your theme’s support section? https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/skt-full-width#postform – So that the theme author has a chance to respond. I’m not certain about theme settings.

    Hi again

    I have posted something for them before I found this child theme thing. Not had response as yet.

    All I wanted to do was have the featured picture and featured videos not to show in my posts has looks horrible.

    But from reading everything there is a piece of code you have to input to do this.

    Thank you for your help stuck in limbo till I sort it as love this theme just the bit I need to sort out

    Thank you again for your help xx

    Andrew to let you know sorted it found a post and it worked one happy bunny now xxx

    Go to “Theme Options” and then “Layout Setting” and then type type into the “Custom CSS” window this code:

    .post-thumb {
    display: none;
    }

    This will hide the featured image from the actual post page, but will allow it to still be visible when you look at the thumbnail in any of the category sections.
