How to move Featured Image box from side to main column

thank you JLeuze. removing that postimagediv meta box almost drove me nuts

Thanks, very very useful!

You’re welcome mirko!

I’m trying to remove this box in my template code. I’m making a child theme of twentyten, and I’m using the much more flexible Multiple Template Images plugin for post images rather than the Featured Image box. Is the code you’re using able to be put into my child theme’s functions.php file somehow? I tried putting it in as-is and it didn’t remove the box so I’m assuming I’m doing something wrong.

I want to modify my child theme in some way to remove the Featured Image functionality altogether. Do you know if that’s possible?

Thanks!

Hi Mike, when I have needed more than one post thumbnail, the Multiple Post Thumbnails plugin has come in handy.

Twenty Ten is setup so that you can override settings in the functions.php file. Take a look at this comment:

To override twentyten_setup() in a child theme, add your own twentyten_setup to your child theme’s
* functions.php file.

So you could copy the “twentyten_setup” function into your child theme’s functions.php file and comment this out:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
