  Hi,

  I am currently using the Boardwalk theme and am trying to find answers to two problems I am facing. I would like to hide the featured image in the actual post because I am not given the option to align the image in the way that I want. Is there a CSS code for this?

  If I have a portrait-oriented image, then only part of it gets cropped into the top of the actual post. And this is problematic when the image is of a person, and only their shoulders appear in the post.

  The second thing is that I would like to make the header image much bigger.

  Many thanks!

  I see you are using Sela theme on https://tanyagabrielian.wordpress.com/, not Boardwalk .

  Do you need help for a different blog?

  Here is an example of a post from the Boardwalk demo site:
  https://boardwalkdemo.wordpress.com/2014/12/21/mountain-biking-in-utah/

  You can hide the featured image using the following CSS:

  body.page .entry-thumbnail,
  body.single .entry-thumbnail {
  	display: none;
  }
  
  body.page:not(.title-with-content) .hentry.has-post-thumbnail .entry-header,
  body.single:not(.title-with-content) .hentry.has-post-thumbnail:not(.format-video) .entry-header {
  	position: relative;
  }

  The 2nd part of the example works to make the post meta and title not overlap with other content.

  The second thing is that I would like to make the header image much bigger.

  The Boardwalk theme does not offer an option to add a header image for the site overall. You might be talking about featured images, but you also asked how to hide those so I am not sure. It does also look like you’ve switched themes, which is probably a good idea if you didn’t like a lot of the fundamental design elements that Boardwalk uses (which it sounded like might be the case).
