Hi there – how is it possible to have one category (in this case – Editorials) to have no featured image … so that on the category page, on the author page etc there is no thumbnail or image, even a placeholder image.
I’ve tried work arounds with some custom css and display: none code but that gets really hard on category pages etc.
Thanks – Neal
Hello,
Unfortunately the theme has no option for it so hardcoding is your only option at the moment(or maybe you can find a plugin that has this option)
You can use a condition in php: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category but coding knowledge will be required and i cannot provide any quick solution for it. You can remove the featured image rather easy with this function but it will apply for all the website. In order to just target category pages you will also need this condition: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_category and that is where things get a bit tricky. My advice is to hire a freelancer to help out on this one if you cannot manage it on your own.
As an alternative to this method, you could simply use a module that has no featured images on your specific category page: http://screencast.com/t/XF69mM1o and the same for the author page: http://screencast.com/t/viZv5LiTC
Best of luck on your project.
Thank you!
Thanks for the reply – much appreciated!
A couple of things then … On the modules that that have no featured image (I did notice those) – is there an easy-ish way to add a little code so that some text content from each post is added because as they are only the headlines are displayed.
And perhaps a feature request for future releases – that there is an easier option to have posts with no featured images.
I have to say though that in almost all areas Newspaper is a brilliant theme to work with – awesome – THANK YOU.

Hello,
Thank you for your kind words. We are happy to see our hard work is appreciated.
You can see a method to use excerpts in those modules/blocks by following this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/block-9/
Or if you prefer not to edit the theme files and just use css in the theme panel there is also this solutioin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/placeholder-image-2/
I will add your request to our list and if more people request such features, we will consider them for a next update.
Thank you!
Thanks so much for the help – that helps – great.
Have a good day …
Neal
