Hiding Feature Images in Posts
-
I am nearly incompetent when it comes to website construction so bear with me…all I want to do is hide the “feature image” at the top of my child pages.
If you see my portfolio page, there are feature images for each child page in the grid. I DO want the images to appear on the portfolio page as they look great, but once you click on the child page, the feature image appears at the top and I can’t move it or even write next to it. I do NOT want the image to appear here.
How can I get that image out of there? I’ve searched all over for information about featured images and cannot find a word on this issue. If I could at least write text next to it on the child page, then that would be fine, but everything I write appears underneath and leaves big spaces next to the image. It looks great on the portfolio page but horrendous after you click on it.
Please help. I’m really struggling with this.

You cannot re-locate or hide any theme elements on any theme without a custom design upgrade. Even then what you can do is limited. Here is the detailed theme description for Motif so you are clear on how the theme is designed http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/motif/ CSS editing can change appearance only but not the way the theme functions.
See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

Thanks TimeThief. I have posted this question in the CSS forum. I’ve been hesitant to upgrade to Custom Design. I’m incompetent enough without it and am scared of using code to unintentionally mess up my site.

I saw on your site you seemed to have figured this out. I am looking to do the same thing with my features images. Can you send me to the CSS forum thread or let me know how you accomplished this? Thanks!

Hi Sam, I only saw your question now. Have you sorted it out yet? Here is a link to the forum question I posted in the CSS platform:

I don’t have access to see your site, so I am not sure what theme you are using. The code I was given is specifically for the motif theme, but there are workarounds as well. This code snippet is a bit untidy but should get the job done if you are not using motif:
.entry-thumbnail {display: none;}
.grid-row .entry-thumbnail {display: inherit;}Otherwise, try changing the motif element to the theme you are using. It may work but I am not certain. Worth a try. Nevertheless, the thread should be able to help you. Give me a shout if you get stuck!
