Hi–I don’t want to use featured images in my blog because I don’ t like how it looks. Is there a way for the post carousel widget to grab the first image in post instead?

    Hi wiredpoet

    Unfortunately not. Under Appearance > Theme Settings > Blog you can turn the Single Post featured image off. To hide the featured image on the archive page, add the following to Appearance > Custom CSS:

    article.post .entry-header .entry-thumbnail img {
display: none;
}

    Hope that helps.

    Ah, so I could still set the featured image for purposes of the slider, but it wouldn’t affect the blog display? I think that’s what you’re saying, but just confirming!

    That’s it! There is a setting to turn off the featured image for the single post page, but not the archive/blog page, that’s where the CSS comes in.

    Hi Andrew,
    I put in that custom CSS and nothing happened–still see the featured image in blog archive:

    Also, is there a way to link the larger image to the post and not just bring up the image? Seems like that should be happening.

    Thanks,

      Duh–nevermind the second question :) I still can’t get the CSS to work, but I understand about the second part now.

    Hi Andrew, I added the code above–is it supposed to get rid of the smaller thumbnail here or is this how it’s supposed to look?
