Cannot delete featured image #14

Closed kbasude closed 3 years ago

kbasude commented 5 years ago

Hello, I updated the theme and it messed with my websites quite a bit. I managed to delete the search bar, additional heading, search bar, etc, but I can't get the strangely placed featured image to go away. I inspected the element and found its class, and I renamed its class and tried to get rid of it with "display: none" but it is strangely connected to my website, so when I do that it deletes everything on the page.

The website is krishnabasude.com. You will see the huge featured image at the top. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, but I can't see what the problem is? This isn't a problem with the theme, it's a modification you've made after it.

This theme isn't meant to be used 'as is', there technically is no support for it. When you download it, you are to manipulate it as you wish.

Hi Lee, I know, that's what I am trying to do, I am trying to manipulate it and need some help. The problem is that there is a gigantic photo at the top of my website pages. That is definitely a problem. Is it NOT a modification I made. Originally it worked perfectly and I was able to modify it myself to remove headers, but somehow updating the theme added the featured photo in an enlarged size to all pages.

You probably want to be looking somewhere in your template files for the_post_thumbnail() thats appearing at the top of everything.

Problem because you've modified the code, we don't know what you've done, and we can't see it, so at the moment there's nothing anyone can do.

If you email me with access to your Wordpress site I could probably quickly fix it for you.

kbasude commented 5 years ago

My mofidications have been almost none so far besides some CSS stuff that I have added through WordPress' "Edit CSS" box. I was hoping someone more experienced could inspect elements and find how to remove the photo.

I will try to check for the template file again. I thought I was able to find it and change the class name so I could just hide it, but somehow doing that hides the entire page...

I appreciate it, I will try to send you a copy of my site or something today

ghost commented 5 years ago

Personally I'm offended that you don't think I'm someone more experienced.

For the record I was able to simply insert display:none; direct on the image and that removed it, so you could do if you want a quick fix.

This issue has nothing to do with CSS, it's to do with the template files.

kbasude commented 5 years ago

Bro... I meant someone more experienced than ME, not referring to you there haha. Hmm awesome. I will try to find it in template files. and just say "display: none" directly instead of referring to its class. Will update if that doesn't work

ghost commented 5 years ago

Well yes, you only want to hide the photo, not the class (as setting the class to display none will apply to it all other elements with the same class).

But you don't want to just hide the image, you want to remove it from the markup entirely.

From memory, look in the entry-content.php file, I have a feeling it may be in there at the top somewhere.

I think I've found where your issue is, #9 in page.php:

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(); } ?>

kbasude commented 5 years ago

Yea that makes sense.

I had actually already tried that. I deleted everything from entry-content.php (it's literally empty" but somehow the header, search bar, and photo were still showing up. Thanks for all your help so far by the way

Oh nice, let me see if messing with that fixes it.

Yes, they will because all that stuff isn't in the entry-content.php file, it's in the header.php file.

The entry.php files are only for the main Wordpress article on the page.

kbasude commented 5 years ago

Okay deleting line 9 worked perfectly. I remember messing with that file before but I think I removed line 10 and that might have been the issue. Thanks so much for your help.

ghost commented 5 years ago

No worries, just bear in mind this has now removed your featured image from the page template, just incase you end up with other pages trying to add it in and can't find it... this is why.

kbasude commented 5 years ago

It should be fine, because now when I check the link with Facebook Sharing Debugger, the featured photo still shows as the thumbnail, but the photo itself isn't displayed as a huge photo on my website. Thanks again
