 * Hi,
 * How do I hide the featured image which displays at the top of each post? I would
   still like to keep the featured image so that it displays on my front page in
   a list of recent posts.
 * I looked around and it appears I’d need to add something to the custom css. Is
   that correct? If so, what would I need to do?
 * Many thanks,

 * Hey there Joe,
 * You’re right, this would most likely be possible to do with adding some custom
   CSS.
 * Could you please provide link to your site where you want this to be done.
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Hi Bojan,
 * Thanks! For example, this post:
 * [http://www.bluecrowtrading.com/spoofing-will-cme-and-cftc-actions-lead-to-its-extinction/](http://www.bluecrowtrading.com/spoofing-will-cme-and-cftc-actions-lead-to-its-extinction/)
 * has a distorted featured image at the top and I would like the ability to somehow
   hide or un-hide the featured image if it appears distorted. Ideally it would 
   be great to have a checkbox available in a post to do this but i guess custom
   css would be the next option, right?
 * Many thanks,
    Joe

 * Hey Joe,
 * The easiest way to fix this, if your theme doesn’t already have custom CSS tab,
   would be to add it in your site using the following plugin
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 * Once the plugin is installed and activated you can add this code to Appearance
   >> Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .single-post .entry-thumbnail {
       display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * This will remove all the featured images from single post pages.
 * On the other hand the reason your images are being distorted is because in they
   have max-height of 350px set in CSS which prevents the image of being displayed
   correctly. The solution would be to either use images that are not having height
   more then 350px or adding this custom CSS which will allow them to be displayed
   in full height:
 *     ```
       .entry-thumbnail img {
       max-height: 350px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps.
 * Best regards,
    Bojan
