  I’m liking the Oxygen theme but I don’t want to have featured images for all my posts. Is it possible to add some CSS which basically says if it doesn’t have a featured image don’t leave the grey placeholder area?

  Thanks in advance, any help appreciated.

  Hi there,

  Sure! Try adding this to your CSS:

  img[src$="placeholder.gif"] {
    display:none;
  }

  Let me know if you have any questions!

  Cheers!

  Hi,

  Many thanks but unfortunately it doesn’t appear to have worked :( I copied and pasted it in but I can still see the grey placeholder area.

  Hi there,

  I went to your site and I’m not seeing any grey placeholder areas. I tested this out on my test blog and it worked okay. We might be talking about different things.

  Can you please provide me the link of where you see this grey area and I can see what’s going on?

  Thank you.

  Hi,

  Apologies, I’d temporarily removed the posts without featured images. If you could have a look at http://www.marknoyce.com it is another one with the same theme and issue.

  Many thanks for your help.

  Hi there,

  The added code seems to be working on that site. If you take out the code that I provided you, you will see the gray placeholder in the post “KRISTIAN MCDONALD CATCHES UP WITH MARK ON-SET” as seen in the screenshot below:

  

  Once the code is added, the gray placeholder disappears:

  

  If this is not what you wanted, let me know!

  Hi,

  That is really odd, on mine (googlechrome and IE) I see the grey placeholder like in your first image :(

  Hello again and sorry to be a pain :)

  Is it possible to turn off the text ‘read article’ which comes up when you hover over a post? It looks good on ones which have an image but for the ones it doesn’t the text ‘read article’ appears in a strange place.

  Thank you!

  Hi there,

  I see! That did look bad = I have removed the “Read Article” as requested!

  Cheers!
