When I add a featured image, I want that image for the newspaper page, not the actual post. How do I turn it off on the post level?

OK, I am going to assume I was unclear. My post does not have the featured image added as an element inside the post, the same way I add a video element.
I tell the system what the featured image is so that it will appear on the cover of the summary, encouraging people to read the post.
The featured image and the video appear upon clicking to read the post. I do not want the image to show up on the post page, but I do want it to indicate that a post is there to be read on the main page. When I went to my post, there was no element to delete. If I do not indicate a featured image on the right panel, no image shows on the cover or the summary.
Hello @PSIall !
The featured image you should set only in the right side in Gutenberg and not also in the left side.
Check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
I hope that helps you!
Thank you!
I am n ot sure what you mean by left side. I wish I could get a straight answer. This request has been bouncing for more than a month. Please assume me an absolute idiot. I set the featured image on the RIGHT SIDE ONLY!!!! I do not add it anywhere else. It correctly shows on the cover as a way to encourage reading the article. The problem is the picture is ALSO on the article once you open the post. Since the image is also the video thumbnail it seems to feel repeated on the post page. The featured image AND the video (of which the featured image is the video thumbnail) both appear in the post and feels overwhelming. I want the featured image on the cover to get people to read the post. I would like if the feature image could be eliminated from he article. I am not sure how to make this request any clearer. If this cannot be done and I just have to live with the image in both places, say so. Thank you.
Hello @PSIall !
Please follow the instructions provided to set your featured image. On the left side of the Gutenberg is the content: https://app.screencast.com/ZegJpfQQ9Zc5i So, delete the featured image because you will have the image/video display twice.
Thank you!
Either I did not state my goal clearly, or the answer was given without consideration of what I was trying to achieve. I guess the answer is the answer I did NOT want? There is no way to have the featured image show on the cover without it ALSO showing in the post? Is that the answer? So I MUST remove the element in the post (the video) that I actually DO WANT in the post? I want when people open the post the video is there without having to do the extra click away to another page to view it – but from the circle I am going in, the answer – although none of you have said it is – If I want a featured image, then the image WILL appear in the post. No way around it, so either I have it appear and seem to overwhelm the post, OR I remove my video that I do want there and have them do the extra click to another page to view the video. Let us just END this chat. I am going to assume that is the answer because I hate open loops that continue to loop.
Hello @PSIall !
So, do you like to have a featured video? But it won’t open the video automatically.
As a suggestion, you can use the element called Video Embed from the tagdiv Composer that display the video automatically when you open the post. The video will play automatically without the sound. However, the visitor can turn on the volume.
Please note that the video can not be different for each post only if you will use different templates.
Thank you!
