conditionally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured images appear in two locations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Posts\/Pages:<\/strong> somewhere (usually at the beginning of every individual post you create), assuming you&rsquo;ve uploaded featured images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Blog page:<\/strong> the list of posts you have published on your website<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think about conditionally hiding or displaying featured images, you can do it with a plugin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In layman&rsquo;s terms, that&rsquo;s a fancy way of saying you can hide a featured image on specific pages, and it&rsquo;s all handled by a plugin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this, you&rsquo;ll use a plugin called &ldquo;<strong>Conditionally display featured image on singular posts and pages.<\/strong>&ldquo;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper align-center large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\"

1: Install and activate the plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve ever installed a WordPress plugin on your site, then you can <a href=\"#step-2\">skip ahead to the next step<\/a> because it&rsquo;s the same as any other plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who are new to WordPress or need a refresher, this is done through the admin screen after you log in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on <strong>Plugins<\/strong> &rarr; <strong>Add Plugin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the next screen, in the search field, type in &ldquo;conditionally

done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re using some other theme and this solution doesn&rsquo;t work, try the other one in the FAQ section and it should solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

id=\"hiding-featured-images-with-code\">Method 2: Use your theme&rsquo;s settings to hide featured images (if available)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many WordPress themes already have options to hide featured images, so it&rsquo;s wise to check your theme settings before installing extra plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, keep in mind that this method might not work for you if your theme does not provide this setting. It might also be limited in terms of the ways it lets you hide featured images (i.e., in individual posts, sitewide, or thumbnails).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128073; To help you get an idea of where to look to find this option in your theme, let&rsquo;s take Neve again as an example. It allows you to hide your featured image sitewide &ndash; both in posts and in places where it loads as a thumbnail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does not, however, allow you to hide it for individual posts. For that it&rsquo;s best to use the plugin method above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s go through the two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#hide-featured-images-where-they-appear-as-thumbnails\">Hide featured images where they appear as thumbnails<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#hide-featured-images-from-all-single-post-pages\">Hide featured images from all single post pages<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"hide-featured-images-where-they-appear-as-thumbnails\">Hide featured images where they appear as thumbnails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Neve installed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Appearance &rarr; Customize<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then click on <strong>Blog &rarr; Blog\/Archive<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the <strong>Post<\/strong> <strong>Content<\/strong> <strong>Order<\/strong> section and click the <strong>Eye<\/strong> icon where it says <strong>Thumbnail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<video autoplay loop muted playsinline style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; margin: 0 auto;\">\n  <source src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Hide-featured-image-on-thumbnails-using-the-Customizer.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\">\n  Your browser does not support the video tag.\n<\/source><\/video>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That deactivates the featured image from being able to display as a thumbnail on your <strong>Blog<\/strong> page and other locations like post carousels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the <strong>Blog<\/strong> page will only show post titles, descriptions, and whatever metadata you include.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"hide-featured-images-from-all-single-post-pages\">Hide featured images from all single post pages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Neve theme also offers the option to hide all featured images on posts, across your entire site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Appearance &rarr; Customize<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then click on <strong>Blog &rarr; Single Post<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You&rsquo;ll see two header layout styles &ndash; <strong>Normal<\/strong> and <strong>Cover<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e1b2;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFBCC;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a <strong>Normal<\/strong> header layout:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scroll down to the <strong>Elements Order<\/strong> section of the <strong>Customizer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unmark the <strong>Eye<\/strong> icon next to the <strong>Thumbnail<\/strong> element.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That will hide the &ldquo;<strong>Thumbnail<\/strong>,&rdquo; (which is where the featured image is stored in this layout) from view on the post.
