I am having trouble with the duplicate featured image on some post. Especially, when I use any plugin (Download manager in my case) it is duplicating featured image right after the first one. You can see here
Can you tell me how to fix it and have only one featured image to see?
Hello,
The duplication of featured images usually occurs when adding the image in the featured image section and on the post itself thus resulting in 2 images being displayed. Please make sure you do not ad the featured image inside the post content. Only add it here: http://screencast.com/t/fl8HNEo5
If this is not the case, we did have reports in the past with featured image duplication caused by plugins. Sometimes plugins add their own featured image like photon for example. In your case I can see in the code a WPDM template which contains the image. It could be a plugin causing this so please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then check the posts again.
Thank you!
Of course, I am aware of it. I haven’t used any image in content. This is definitely conflict with the plugin. probably you are calling featured image outside the content or loop and the plugin is calling inside and probably there is a conflict.
But the truth is, that the theme should be developed in such way so this kind of issue never happens. I will be reporting to the plugin support as well.
Please fix it as it doesn’t look good at all.
BTW, I am a PHP/WordPress developer so I am aware of basic stuff and so featured image and thumbnail
You can choose to either
a) use featured images
b) not use featured images
c) use featured images, but make default post template without image
This way posts where you want featured image will have them to give you custom layouts. But imported/syndicated content with an auto generated thumbnail, will not create two copies of the image, as the “no image” template allows you to manually have image inline in the post AND a featured image for social/indexes, without it appearing twice as both inline with syndicated or post, and repeated as featured image.
