Disable Element Issue

Hi Tom,
I set a featured image with my posts. I want them for social media to grab and so that they show up with the excerpts on my main page. But I don't want them to show up on the post page itself. So I click the "disable post image/post header" button. This works but when the post goes live that gets undone and I have to go back in and check it again. Not a big deal but sometimes I schedule posts well in advance and then forget to uncheck it for awhile.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Aaron
So once you go back and check it to remove again and save - does it become unchecked? Or does that only happen the first time?
Just happens when the post goes live. During the draft process and once the post is live the box stays checked.
So once the post is live (scheduled time is reached), the checkbox stays checked, or unchecks?
I just tested this on about 5 posts and didn't notice any issues.
Once live I can go and check the box and it stays checked. There is just something that happens when the post goes live and the box gets unchecked.
Just tested this again.
Created a post and scheduled it for an hour.
Disabled all available elements using the Disable Elements add-on.
Came back and checked out the published post - all of those elements were disabled.
Then I went into edit the post, and all of the checkboxes were checked.
Can you try testing with your other plugins disabled to make sure there's no plugin conflicts going on?
Thanks!
Sounds like I have a problem specific to me. I'll get back to you if I figure out what was going on. Thanks so much for your help as always!
No problem! Will be interesting to see if it's a plugin conflict or not.
