 * 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.
