    thanks for your support ‘o’

    I just want to be able to create a NEW post with an image added to it’s content and assign it a feature image that DOES NOT display in the post itself, but DOES in the lists/widgets of recent posts and the blog

    if i use the post/page Meta Thumbnail Options “thumbnail type” to “none” and the Meta Detail Media Options to “use thumbnail content”, this solves the problem of the featured image being displayed in the post, displays the featured image in the Dante recent posts shortcode and recent post widgets, but dos NOT display the image in the blog – a HUGE problem for me

    can you tell how to modify the code to NOT display the featured image on the edit post page in the post itself, but still display it in recent posts AND on the blog page?

    thank you SO much

    Hi

    The best way is set it as a featured image, and then in the page meta option, select ‘none’ for detail media options.

    This will show the image for the thumbnail, but when you click on the post it will not show (unless you have it in your content)

    But please make sure your thumbnail is set o image, not none.

    thanks Kyle ‘o’

    no, that doesn’t work

    assuming that i want the image contained in the post to BE the same as the featured image and i want to be able to ADD it as media to the post so that it appears WHERE WANT IT in the post as a clickable image

    if i set it up exactly the way you say

    it solves the problem of displaying the Featured Image in the Blog list and Dante Recent Posts shortcode instances, but the post itself only contains the featured image which is not a link to anything (i want it to be clickable to a lightbox containing the image) and i have ZERO CONTROL over formatting the (Featured) image in the post

    Dante is inserting the featured image in the post by default – the only way i’ve found to over ride this (as a non-coding WordPress beginner using Dante’s sttings) is to set the featured image as the same 1 inserted into the post and then set the Meta Thumbnail Option to “none” and then the Display Detail Option to reflect the Thumbnail Option (box checked). The post will then display my inserted image WITHOUT the featured image in exactly the way i want it to (with the inserted image clickable and formatted in whatever size i choose and integrated with the rest of my post layout as opposed to the Featured image), displays the FEATURED IMAGE correctly as a thumbnail in Dante’s Recent Posts shortcode instances, but DOES NOT diplay the featured image thumbnail on my BLOG PAGE.

    what i’m asking you is how to set the featured image for a post, but prevent it from being inserted into the post (not with the Post/Page Meta options) so that it still displays correcly in the Dante Recent Posts shortcode AND in the BLOG PAGE THUMBNAIL DISPLAY

    i just don’t want the Featured image inserted automatically into the post, but want it to display correctly in every other way in the Dante theme relative to that post

    this sounds like i need to change or comment the code that automatically calls/inserts the featured image into a post

    i’m a WP beginner and NOT familiar with PHP

    please try to help me here

    thank you SO much

    Hi

    If you have set ‘none’ for the detail media display then the image will not show on the post page. If you can provide me with a link and login I will set one up for you to show you how to do it.
