How to remove featured picture from posts?

Hey Al!

I’ve done this a number of times, and also agree that hiding the cover image should be part of the themes.

Here’s what to do:

Create an override theme folder, if you haven’t already. You’ll want to override config.json (mandatory) and assets>css>main.css / Custom CSS.

In your override folder, open config.json in the editor of your choice. Search for “postConfig”, and edit the “featuredImageWidth” section so that it matches below:

"postConfig": [
        {
            "name": "featuredImageWidth",
            "label": "Featured Image width",
            "value": "post__image--wide",
            "type": "select",
            "options": [
                {
                "label": "None",
                    "value": "post__image--none"
                },
                {
                    "label": "Normal",
                    "value": "post__image--normal"
                },
                {
                    "label": "Wide",
                    "value": "post__image--wide"
                },
                {
                    "label": "Full",
                    "value": "post__image--full"
                }
            ]
        },

Essentially, you’ll want to add the { “label”: “None”, “value”: “post__image–none” } part.

Next, you can either edit the main.css OR add some custom CSS from inside the Publii app (Tools & Plugins > Custom CSS). In either case, you’ll want to add the following:

.post__image--none {
  display: none;
}
