    Mark,

    Thank you for designing this combo of Twenty Thirteen and Masonry!

    I have a 3-year old blog that has been through approximately 15+ different themes, and thought I’d try out one with a Masonry Layout: https://shapeshifter3.com/. In the past, I have always used Featured Images with short excerpts to direct the viewer to a Single Post page with an embedded video + Lyrics (or text).

    In the most recent past, I have been using Featured Images around 1200 px wide (or wider) and 500-700 px high. Also, the Featured Images have NOT been displayed in the Individual Posts themselves.

    What code snippets can I add to my Theme Editor to get these two objectives:

    1. No display of Featured Images in the Individual Posts, and

    2. If the first request can’t be done, how about a 1200 px display width of the Featured Images at the top of Individual Posts instead of the small images that are currently displayed?

    (If you check out the link to my site, maybe you can come up with some other ideas).

    Thanks for the efforts of your work!

    OK,

    After Googling my question, I found an answer that works:

    .single-post .attachment-post-thumbnail {
      display: none;
    }

    I might try to make the Content Width wider next…

    @shapeshifter3,

    I’m glad you were able to find a solution to your question. That looks good to me.

    One note: I strongly recommend you use a Custom CSS plugin rather than directly modifying the theme in the theme editor. Should the theme ever need an update, you won’t be able to apply that update without losing your changes. I recommend Jetpack’s Custom CSS module, but there are other ones that work just as well.

    Mark,

    Thanks for your response, and your advice !

    I’ve actually already tried three different Plugins to save my changes:

    1.) Child Theme Configurator

    2.) Jetpack

    3.) SiteOrigin CSS

    I settled on the last one for the following reasons:

    a.) When I tried to create a Child Theme from YOUR Child Theme, yours was replaced with a new one (and I didn’t feel comfortable with that).

    b.) I liked the JetPack CSS Editor (it had line numbers), but I didn’t know if (or where) my code snippets would be saved if I changed themes again.

    c.) Code Snippet changes will be saved on my Hosting provider’s server using the third option (I think).

    Anyhow, those are my decisions as of right now…

    A) Since Blogsonry is already a child theme, you’re right that you can’t make a child theme of it.
    B) As long as you’re using any plugin to store your CSS changes, they shouldn’t be lost when you change your theme.
