How to remove featured image from post body

  • HI,

    I recently changed my very old wordpress theme to a new theme. the old theme didnt automatically show featured image on top of the post. However, the new theme shows the featured image on top of the post: https://bit.ly/3vix3FV

    So, now with the new theme im having 2 images one on top and another inside the post body.

    There are 5K + posts on the site so going in manually and deleting the image inside post body is not an option.

    Any there any plugins that can detect if featured image is inside post body and delete it?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • This is a theme thing, and most things have a simple checkbox to turn featured image ON/OFF, especially on single posts/pages.

    What theme are you using? (Sorry, but redirect links are blocked on my network.)

    Yes, i know i can turn off featured image on top with simple checkbox.

    But, i want to keep it ON.

    So, the issue is how to remove the featured image inside post content/body (of old posts)

    I’m sorry, but I did not mean to disable the featured image in the post editor.

    I was referring to a theme option in APPEARANCE => CUSTOMIZER that will toggle ON/OFF the display of the featured image on the individual posts and pages across the entire site. The featured image would still exist and work on the homepage, archive/category pages, social media shares, etc.

    Anyway, I installed the Maizzy theme you’re using, and it looks like this feature is not available in the free version of the theme.

    It’s better to always solve problems at their root, rather than using a 3rd-party plugin to solve a problem created elsewhere… which is why I thought about the theme feature.

    But since your theme doesn’t have this feature, here’s a plugin that answers your original question:

    i was also referring to the “APPEARANCE => CUSTOMIZER” when i said ” turn off featured image on top with simple checkbox”

    but i need that to stay ON.

    What i want is a plugin to delete the images which are inside the post content (AND also being shown on top as featured image).

    There is no tool to do so that You’re looking for. If you’re a coder then you might prepare a preg match code fetch, remove and update the post content. if you can’t then manually removing is the option for you.

    Hey @kumar314,

    Or, maybe a CSS 1-liner? CSS won’t “physically” delete that duplicate image from your content, but CSS can stop it from displaying.

    Here’s an example that worked on your posts using Chrome dev tools.

    
article.post p:nth-child(2) > img {
	display: none;
}

    You can add that CSS under?Appearance?>?Customize?>?Additional CSS. Always clear your caches before retesting ??

    Cheers!
