Many WP users use the featured images to show them on archive pages where blog posts are listed. Or on home pages where a certain sections list some posts and featured images are added there along with post titles and an excerpt. But in some cases, the featured image it is not needed to be visible on the individual post page. This is where “ZI Hide Featured Image” plugin can help. ### Does this plugin work with Gutenberg? Yes! This plugin works with Gutenberg and also with Classic Editor. ### Does this plugin work with the latest WordPress version? Yes. This plugin works with **WordPress 6.1.1**. ### Does this plugin adds “Hide featured image” option to custom post types? Yes. This plugin works for **custom post types**. ### Does this plugin adds “Hide featured image” option to WooCommerce product pages? Yes. This plugin works for **WooCommerce** too. ### What are the featured images? Featured images (also sometimes called Post Thumbnails) are images that represent an individual Post, Page, or Custom Post Type. When you create your Theme, you can output the featured image in a number of different ways, on your archive page, in your header, or above a post, for example. ### I do not see the “Featured Image” option when I edit a page or post. Why? If you do not see the “Featured Image” when you edit a WordPress post this is mostly because the support for featured images it is not enabled on your theme. To enable this you need to add this to your theme’s functions.php file: **add_theme_support(‘ post-thumbnails’ );**. ### I do not see the “Featured Image” option when I edit a custom post type. Why? If you do not see the “Featured Image” when you edit a custom post type page it’s because “thumbnail” it is not added in the “supports” arguments array. So, when you have added the code to create the custom post type you missed to add “thumbnail” in the “supports” array. It looks similar to this: **‘supports’ => array( ‘title’,‘ editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘comments’, ‘trackbacks’, ‘revisions’, ‘custom-fields’, ‘page- attributes’, ‘post-formats’ )**.

I think it fails if you use ELEMENTOR and things like that. But since version 6, using Elementor is USELESS. This plugin is GREAT for not adding a CSS line for each main page and being able to use the "do not show main image" option more ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e0ee341a0fe453e2a2667eb0ace26a7e29636d7c27db65b4318a3c9911c68799? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[mask all thumnail when the plugin is active (elementor)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mask-all-thumnail-when-the-plugin-is-active-elementor/)󠁿 [twinsribbons](https://profiles.wordpress.org/twinsribbons/) 15 April 2023 mask all thumnail when the plugin is active (elementor) ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c5a5c374a7b759036099a4c19dd1d336f6cf0c87af13d932f1d2b7b1c09edb30? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not work with Colormag PRO theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-work-with-colormag-pro-theme/)󠁿 [momo-fr](https://profiles.wordpress.org/momo-fr/) 24 September 2022 Hi, I try yo use your plugin with Colormag PRO theme ans nothing append.

The checkbox is displayed under Featured Image but it doesn't do anything with Astra/ Elementor. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5f178ad4686616d03b8c284168daaff4b551943897b49e5783bf5a0952a5f5f5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-31907/)󠁿 [Sydnee](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sydneeseo/) 23 August 2021 Great plugin! Works exactly what I needed it for. I show categories with the featured images on certain pages but don't want the featured image to show on the actual pages where it's set to. Works perfectly! Thanks ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6fcf15181fab84e3c7c57cd616dce21bb8729d67b667bd140f4a8d06cfdb4ea7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Sadly doesn’t work correctly…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sadly-doesnt-work-correctly/)󠁿 [freakqnc](https://profiles.wordpress.org/freakqnc/) 19 July 2021 …used on a portfolio page where the portfolio page used a classic mode (standard page) within the bauhaus template (by dev. named highsea that can be found on themeforest. net) and when the checkbox was checked for a given featured image it didn't remove it from the post but it rather hid it from the "masonry style" projects list hence the corresponding thumbnail was missing and the featured image remained happily present on the corresponding project page. So it doesn't fully work as it should not "blindly" and without any checks remove the featured image… it should rather check if the current page shown is the page itself (not a project/portfolio page for instance) and then only if the current page shown IS indeed the page to which that featured image belongs to… that's when it would kick in and hide the image from said page.
