Checkbox Code To Add or Remove Featured Image

—

by

Brad Dalton

This code adds a checkbox to enable or disable the featured image from displaying on single posts and pages.

No plugin needed.

By default, the code adds the featured image on single posts if the featured image is checked on the Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archive settings.

content-archives

You can then remove the image simply by ticking a checkbox located below the wp editor on all Edit Post screens like this:

image-checkbox

The code also enables you to change the position the image displays so you can move it to after the entry title or any other genesis hook location.

Works in any Genesis child theme.

    Hi Brad,
    thank you for this tutorial. Unfortunately it doesn’t work here. There is also a plugin called ‘Hide Featured Image’ that won’t work either.
    Don’t know why. I disabled a lot of 3rd-party-plugins, but without any effect on this problem.
    Have you an idea to solve this?

    kind regards
    Rainer

      Hi

      I’ll take a look on Monday however i do test all code and know it works.

      You will need to read the entire tutorial in case you have missed something.

      The video also proves it works. I cannot access your code from the front end.

          Only works in Genesis. Looks like you have a non Genesis theme active.
