# featured image in category posts

 * Hi,
    I am trying to prevent my featured images from automatically appearing at
   the beginning of each post. The featured image only appears when I navigate to
   the post from the sidebar categories menu, not when I get to the post from the
   carousel or search bar. I need to include a featured image because that’s the
   only way I can get post images to appear in the homepage carousel. I’ve tried
   removing the code listed below from content-single.php as advised in a previous
   forum thread, but no results. <?php if (has_post_thumbnail() ) the_post_thumbnail();?
   > Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jake Moore
