This download folder contains the modified file which enables you to remove the featured image which displays in the header hero position when added on single posts in Essence Pro. However, it doesn’t remove the featured image from archives.
By default, the image added in customize > Essence Pro Settings > Header Background image is displayed on the front page and all single posts and pages when a unique featured image is not added.

I’d like to have this functionality on a Page in addition to single Posts. I’m looking to have the Page not show a Featured Image in the Hero area, but still have a thumbnail image when pulled into a module on the homepage.
Is there an option that I can select to make this work on a Page too?
Thanks in advance.
