    Hello!

    I’ve scoured the threads to find a solution and can’t seem to find how to remove the featured images from appearing INSIDE posts, and it’s driving me nuts! The theme is Elevates, and the site is intheshutterbox.com. This seems to be a common issue for many, and I haven’t had any luck trying others’ solutions. 🙁 Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jamie,

    To do this you need to get your hands a bit dirty with PHP.

    In the admin panel of your WordPress site, go to Appearance –> Editor and select the php file which codes the single post. This heavily depends on the theme but would be called content.php or if at all existing something similar to content-xxx.php, where xxx could be ‘single’ or ‘image’ (without quotation marks).
    After selecting the correct file, you need to locate the following code:
    <?php the_post_thumbnail('full'); ?>, which is usually encapsulated within an anchor tag (i.e. <a>....</a>). Deleting it will solve your problem.

    However, this is a manual workaround and if you’re not savvy with PHP you might break your theme!! In addition, any update to the theme will delete your manual configurations, unless you have created a child-theme.

    My suggestion would be to contact the theme author and ask him/her to add an option which would allow you to safely disable the in-post display of featured images.

    Hope this helps.
