[Resolved] display feature image in first post of archive

[Alain Aubry]

Hi

I am trying to create an archive page with 4 columns, masonry, no feature image, first post larger (or highlighted)… up to here I am fine.
I want to display the feature image just in the first (highlighted) post.. just in the first one.
Can you hint me ?

Thanks
Alain

Hi Alain,

I think we can try a CSS solution.

Can you make the featured images display first using the customizer option?

Let me know 🙂

[Alain Aubry]

yes, it displays all of them, you can check it now.
I want to display ONLY the first one, need to be some kind filter.
CSS can do it, but it will be loading them all

[Alain Aubry]

a filter will allow me to change the appearance by category or something…

Hi there,

try this PHP Snippet:

add_filter( 'generate_featured_image_output', function( $output ) {
    global $wp_query;
    if ( is_category() && 0 != $wp_query->current_post ) {
        $output = '';
    }
    return $output;
} );

[Alain Aubry]

YES !!!!

I am amazed, it is exactly what I was looking for.
I can even add some other conditions.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
❤️

You even work on weekends, wow !!!

[David]

Glad to be of help 🙂

Excuse me for re-opening this tread, but I failed to say I am using “Infinite Scroll” in the arquives, so the enabled feature image repeats every 10 posts.
Every 10 post the feature image is enabled. How can I fix this?
Thanks
Alain

Hmmm…. not sure if this will work but you could try checking if is_paged() eg.

if ( is_category() && ( 0 != $wp_query->current_post || is_paged() ) ) {

In that example i check if its NOT the first post OR if it is Paged.

[Alain Aubry]

Wow !!! You nailed it again !!!
You guys are geniuses, it is exactly that.

Thank you so much!.

BTW, in a different place, also an arquive, I want to show every featured images but the first make larger, what would be the filter to use ?
I thought of ‘generate_blog_image_attributes’ but I haven’t been able to make it work…

[David]

Do you mean the thumbnails size eg. full for first image, medium for other images ?

If so, then this may work:

add_filter( 'generate_page_header_default_size', function( $size ) {
    if ( is_category('your target category' ) && 0 != $wp_query->current_post ) {
        $size = 'medium';
    } else {
        $size = 'full';
    }

    return $size;
} );

It look interesting, I will try later today. I will give feedback.

Were can I get all the filters of the theme? I am always looking for this crazy configurations …

Thanks

[David]

Filters in the theme…. there are so many, and not a central place in the docs for them all, but some you will find here:

https://docs.generatepress.com/collection/filters/

The rest, either sniff around the templates and functions on our GitHub or ask us 🙂
