Wnt to disable small images like buttons from being displayed as featured image

    I’m switching a site from a (IMHO) very ugly theme to counterpoint. Not all of the pages and posts have nice-looking images – which is fine – the more informational sections of the site don’t need them – they exist so people can download documents and such thing.

    Unfortunately the former webmaster used rather ugly buttons to link to documents, and these are being pulled up as the page’s featured image. You get a blowunup blue or orange square with a few pixelated letters in the middle. It is gogin to take me some time to get rid of all of those buttons. I only want to display a featured image if I set one. I’m sure it is a useful feature for some folks, but It would be nice if this were a selectable option.

    I haven’t delved into the code yet to see how easy it may be to turn this off. Perhaps someone can save me the trouble and tell me.

    I used CSS do disable the big black “no featured image” where these is none – thanks for giving that a class and making it easy.

    Thanks!

    PS: – it is a really nice looking theme. I like the sidebar functionality.

    OK – I removed the “else” statement on line 215 from functions.php. I know there’s a more graceful way to re,move and rewrite the function in a child theme but I confess I’m lazy!

    It would be nice if the counterpoint_catch_image function could only get the image if it is over a certain size

    Thanks!

    Better solution – I created custom page template called “no header image” with the header image code removed.
