How to Hide Featured Image On a WordPress Post/Page – 2022

This article describes 2 lightweight plugins that hide featured images. You can use one of these based on your need.

1. One Plugin hides featured images on Individual posts in WordPress (Conditionally display featured image on singular pages or posts).
2. Another plugin is used to hide thumbnails on all WordPress Posts or Pages. The uses of these two plugins are described below.

Conditionally Display Featured Images on Singular Posts and Pages:

The lightweight WordPress plugin namely “Conditionally display featured image on singular posts and pages” is used to hide featured images on the posts you want in WordPress.

How to Use the Plugin:

• Log into the WP dashboard
• Hover over the plugins
• Click Add New

• Search for “Conditionally display featured image on singular posts and pages“.
• Lastly, install and activate it.

• Upon activation, go to the Posts → All Posts → Hover over the post you want to hide the thumbnail → Click Edit

• Click the wrench icon on the right to show the post and block section
• On the post edit screen, under the featured image, you can see a check box that says “Display featured image in posts lists only, hide on singular views“. To hide featured images on the same post or page, simply check the box and click Update.

Take a look at the screenshot below to make it easier for you to understand.

How to Hide Featured Image On All WordPress Pages/Posts

The lightweight WordPress plugin namely “Hide featured image on all single post/page” hides featured images/thumbnails in pages and posts. These are usually found in the list of posts. Plus, you’ll get rid of clutter images you don’t need in our post. Thumbnail / featured Images will disable the image only when the page is open.

You do not need to change any settings after installing this plugin. This will automatically hide the petrified image on open posts or pages.

The installation will automatically apply to any page/post you add later along with the current posts. If this installation negatively affects the post or page you will need to edit the posts or pages (if you want the featured image/thumbnail to be displayed on the post or page you need to add it to the content).

If you have a lot of old content on your blog or website, you may want to use a different plugin, such as Displaying a Conditional Featured Image, which by default only features new posts as featured images.

If this theme does not work for your theme, please let the developer know.

Steps to Hide Featured Image On All WordPress Posts or Pages

• Log into the WP dashboard
• Hover over the plugins
• Click Add New and search Hide featured image on all single pages/posts.
• Lastly, install and activate it. Upon activation, you don’t need any changes. The thumbnail automatically hides on an open page or post.

But what is a Featured Image in WordPress?

A featured image is also known as a thumbnail. Only one featured image represents the complete theme of a post or page of content. And if it does, readers will be fascinated. So there is a greater chance of a conversion.

You don’t need to use both plugins. Only one can be used depending on the need. One plugin gives the option to manually hide each featured image as described above. The second plugin automatically hides featured images in all posts immediately after installation. It means that although the work of both is the same, there are differences in their option to hide the thumbnail.
