edit content.php (best in a child theme http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes ) and remove/edit this line (line 18):
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
I had a very similar requirement. So I’ll add it here for anyone searching for the above text.
Unfortunately the above solution worked too well for my needs as it also blocked out the featured image from showing on post summaries.
My requirement was:
When a post is summarized I want the featured image to show.
When a post is displayed in full I don’t want the featured image to show.
Using the following code seemed to do the trick:
<?php if ( !is_single() ) the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

Very sorry. I thought it would be appropriate to post an alternate solution here. As The solution I’ve posted works, I don’t require any assistance, so I won’t open a separate thread. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank’s Gary That helped me, Don’t appoligise when you have not done anything wrong 🙂
I just commented out <?php the_post_thumbnail();?> under article id in the content.php that solved it simply.
I wanted to still use the thumbnail for other areas but not on the post pages…..
Hey y’all. So with the <?php if ( !is_single() ) the_post_thumbnail(); ?> that Gary provided, should that only go on the content.php document?
I’ve created a child theme with just that change, but the thumbnails are still appearing when I ‘live preview.’ I basically copied the entire theme and made that one change on that document, but left the rest the same. Is there another change I need to make?
Thanks!

@esmi, I will, just thought I would start here since this is where I found the code I’m trying.
Thanks!
