Post template should be site-wide

Hi,

Thanks for the new feature of “Post template:” in post pages. However, it doesn’t over-ride site-wide settinges if featured image is disabled from Theme Settings. Also it can’t make site-wide post settings. It can be a really useful feature if you can implement this:

1. Offer “Post template” in Theme Settings for ‘Posts and Pages’. Then one can select the ‘default’ templete site-wide.

2. Continue to offer “Post template” with post as well so they can change the default view of that post in case of review or interviews or small news items where one may not need the featured image or need better presentation.

3. Also offer a templete with no featured image, so there is complete control.

I belive this feature will make the theme extremely useful for publishers as they will have better control over presentation.

I would personally appreciate the addition of “Post Templete” in Theme Settings with ability to over-rigt it from posts.

We don’t use featured image per post as at time many ‘Open Source’ news items don’t need an image on top of every story so disabling the featured image it important. But sometimes we do need to show featured image on top of some stories so ability to over right default settings and show image would be great.

In current set-up even if I choose a Post Templete from a post to show featured image it doesn’t over-rite the default.

Thanks.

I agree with the suggestions above, especially on implementing it on pages.
