[Resolved] How to change the featured image?

[Pete]

Ok… it seems the featured image in the archives/search/author etc pages is placed by using the <?php do_action( 'generate_after_entry_header'); ?> hook and by use of a function in functions.php

So, how do I edit this featured image if I create category.php or taxonomy-xyz.php or if I want to edit the image for the author or search archive pages?

There shouldn’t actually be a featured image for any of those pages as they don’t have physical pages where you can add the image – they’re just created by WordPress.

Do you have images showing up on this pages?

The images showing inside each listed post is the image set for that specific post.

inc/template-tags.php line 268 “Prints the Post Image to post excerpts”. How can this be disabled?

Adding this to your code snippets should work:

remove_action( 'generate_after_entry_header', 'generate_post_image' );

[Pete]

That didn’t remove it ?

This did…
.inside-article .post-image a img.attachment-post-thumbnail.wp-post-image {display:none;}

Then I gave my own featured image code it’s own classes

Hi Tom, I’m trying to get your GP template to work and am having trouble setting a feature image only to the homepage. By feature image I would like it to be the entire width of the page… is this possible? Kindly, ER

[Emerson Rose]

ok. Nevermind. Thanks for this superb template, Tom. Kindly, ER

[Tom]

Glad you both found solutions 🙂
