 * When I post using a featured image, it is shown at the top of the post header
   for every post when I’m on the blog.
 * For most posts, the featured image is also the first image in the post, so it
   appears twice on the site. How do I stop the featured image from appearing twice?

 * I think [this](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-stop-the-featured-image-showing-in-post-as-well?replies=17)
   might help.

 * Thanks for the link. But that is a solution for the thumbnail appearing twice
   within the post.
 * My issue is that the thumbnail appears on _top_ of the post in the Decode theme
   when I’m on the main site.

 * I checked the Decode theme on my wordpress installation and found that featured
   image appears in blog page on top of title.
 * Featured image does not appear automatically on single post pages.
 * If you want to remove the featured image from appearing in blog page, then you
   can remove the following code from content.php file in the theme.
 *     ```
       <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
       <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" >
       <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
       </a>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Does this help ?
