• Hi,
    is it somehow possible to remove the featured image of a post if there is none selected? I’d like to get rid of the placeholder image.

    Also is it possible to change the dimensions of the featured image? Currently it seems to tall, it pushes the text way down.

    Thanks.

  • Hi,

    is it somehow possible to remove the featured image of a post if there is none selected? I’d like to get rid of the placeholder image.

    In content.php, locate this and remove it:

    <img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/thumb-medium.png" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />

    Also is it possible to change the dimensions of the featured image? Currently it seems to tall, it pushes the text way down.

    In functions.php, find:

    add_image_size( 'thumb-large', 720, 340, true );

    And modify to your size.

    These edits should be done via a child theme. Overwrite of templates and functions. So for the thumbnail size change, you would copy the whole alx_setup function to the child theme and then modify that single value. For the content.php fix, copy over content.php to the child theme and make your edits.

    A sample child theme is available in the Help dropdown in Theme Options.

    Remove this from content.php

    <img src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/thumb-medium.png” alt=”<?php the_title(); ?>” />

    and

    change –>
    add_image_size( ‘thumb-large’, 720, 340, true );
    ..
