How to hide the featured image in a WordPress post - this is a question I get a lot from my students.
There are many reasons why you might want to hide the featured image on all (or specific) posts on your WordPress blog. For example, you may want more text above the fold, or you may be using a theme that automatically takes the first image inserted into a post.
Whatever the reason, WordPress doesn’t make it immediately clear how to do so, which is why I’ve written this guide to provide you with different methods for hiding (but not removing) the featured image from individual post pages, including:
1. Using a theme
2. Using a plugin
3. Using CSS
4. Using PHP code
With all these options at your disposal, you’ll find answers here to the question of how to disable the featured image. I’ll provide a simple step-by-step walkthrough for each method so you can choose the one that works best for you. With that said, let’s dive right in.
