Hi,
How do I remove featured image being duplicated in my post? Since I have always inserted featured image on top of my every post.
Now using Newsmag, it adds the featured image on top once again! The reason I want to remove it is because it appears on top of my sharing plugin which looks very weird. See this page as an example.
If you use a template where featured image is inserted, then don’t insert image a second time.
If your existing posts have image inserted, make ‘default’ template for posts the one without image; then for future posts use template each time which has the featured image. That’s what I did.
Most modern WP themes use the ‘featured’ image to create the custom usage such as full width, background, top of post, or parallax, etc.
We had 10 year old sites with all images inserted manually at top of post, so had same issue.
TRY
a) set default post template to ‘template with no image’ (I forget which one that is … I think it’s ‘style 7’ from theme panel
b) then for new posts, you can manually choose which template you want, per post
Hi Chris,
This is definitely helpful. Thanks a lot. It is indeed ‘style 7’.
What we ended up doing was taking one of the other templates and modifying it to not have featured image, then made that the default, as I prefer the headline version crossing both columns.
