Las imágenes destacadas son importantes en WordPress, pero algunos de nuestros lectores han preguntado si es posible ocultarlas en entradas individuales. Tenían una imagen destacada para una entrada específica pero no querían que los visitantes de su sitio web pudieran verla.
Según nuestra experiencia, ocultar determinadas imágenes destacadas puede ser útil si busca una mayor flexibilidad en la estructura / disposición / diseño / plantilla de su sitio, o si desea mantener un aspecto limpio y profesional.
En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo ocultar imágenes destacadas en entradas individuales de WordPress.
¿Cuándo y por qué es útil ocultar las imágenes destacadas en WordPress?
Casi todos los temas de WordPress vienen con soporte integrado para mostrar imágenes destacadas o miniaturas en diferentes áreas de su sitio web.
Algunos temas incluso utilizan automáticamente los adjuntos de las entradas como imagen destacada si no se especifica ninguna. Esto significa que seguirá mostrando una imagen destacada aunque no establezcas ninguna.
Sin embargo, es posible que desee ocultar la imagen destacada en determinadas situaciones.
Por ejemplo, es posible que tenga una entrada de blog de WordPress que se ve desordenado con la imagen destacada. Pero usted todavía quiere la imagen destacada para mostrar cuando aparece en su página de blog independiente.
En este caso, querrá ocultarla en la entrada individual del blog sin quitar / eliminar la imagen por completo.
Dicho esto, vamos a mostrarte cómo ocultar la imagen destacada en entradas individuales en WordPress, paso a paso.

Ocultar imágenes destacadas de entradas individuales de WordPress
Para ocultar fácilmente las imágenes destacadas de las entradas de WordPress, te recomendamos que utilices el plugin Conditionally Display Featured Image. Te da la opción de ocultar imágenes destacadas individuales en entradas de WordPress.
Lo primero que tienes que hacer es instalar y activar el plugin. Para más detalles, consulte nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Después de eso, el plugin funciona a la perfección, y no hay ajustes de plugin para configurar.
Simplemente ve a Entradas ” Todas las entradas y haz clic en la entrada que quieras abrir.
A continuación, en la pantalla de edición de entradas, verás una casilla que dice “Mostrar imagen destacada solo en listas de entradas, ocultar en vistas singulares” directamente debajo de la imagen destacada.
Para ocultar la imagen destacada, sólo tiene que marcar esta casilla y, a continuación, hacer clic en el botón “Actualizar” para guardar los cambios.
Después, puedes ver tu entrada y verás que la imagen destacada está oculta. Incluso si hay una imagen destacada asignada a la entrada, no se mostrará.
Este plugin no borra la miniatura de la entrada. Solo la oculta en la parte frontal de tu sitio web WordPress. Si alguna vez quieres volver a mostrar la imagen destacada, simplemente edita la entrada y desmarca la casilla ocultar imagen destacada.
Si por casualidad está utilizando tipos de contenido personalizado con soporte para imágenes destacadas, el plugin le permitirá ocultar esas imágenes destacadas también.

After hiding the featured image in the single post view, will it be displayed when I share the post on social media (like WhatsApp)?
WPBeginner Support
It would depend on what your site’s markup is, if you have an SEO plugin then those allow you to set the same or different images to appear for social media.

Is there a possibility to hide the featured image on the archive only, but not on the single Post page?

If you reach out to your theme’s support they would be able to help with that kind of customization.

When I set a feature images for a post, it automatically comes at the top of a post, which I do not want to be there.
How can I remove that image in the top of a post?
WPBeginner Support
You would want to reach out to your theme’s support as each theme has a different method for displaying that.

I ‘ve added a featured image only for share in facebook, I don’t want it displayed at top of the post. So I am using this plugin.
It works okay if the user selects a post from Recent Posts but it doesn’t if the user clicks on one of the Archives dates or on of one of the Categories
WPBeginner Support
Thanks for letting us know, you may want to reach out to the plugin’s author to let them know about that issue.

Daniels
The plugin’s webpage is blank. I did contact the author by email but he didn’t reply yet.
Do you know another way to always hide the featured image?
I’ve read Yoast does the task in a different way (no need to add a featured photo, just set which one to use for facebook posts) but it is a paid feature.
I use WPSSO plugins that let me preview a facebook post using featured image.
Thank you
WPBeginner Support
You may want to reach out to your theme’s support and they may have a recommended method to hide or remove the featured image.
Jay
Hello,
Combed through all the responses. Still needing help.
For Ali who recommended:
Enter this code into your theme’s custom CSS area:
.single.postid-99 .post-img {display: none;}
Replace “99” with the post id for which you want to hide the featured image.
and Jim who recommended:
Put in the theme options / general/ css
.single-post .et_post_meta_wrapper > img{
display:none;
}
____________________________________________
I have the Herschel theme if that sheds some light.
I have tried both in the custom css box and neither solution have worked.
Have also tried hiding image from ALL posts under the settings.
Do the above solutions need to go in a specific area of the css box?
Otherwise, this plugin is not working for me.
Thanks!
WPBeginner Support
Sadly, the plugin may not be working for your theme, you could try reaching out to the plugin’s support to see if there is an issue with the theme you are using.

I like that plugin you showed in the youtube video, it’s really simple.
Although, It’s not really friendly with Elementor. When I add a photo gallary in, in replace of my featured image on my post, the plugin will not only hide the featured image, but that photo gallary as well. Anyone know a fix or a different plugin?
ANTESH KUMAR SINGH
Can it affect my website SEO or ranking?
Iris
Yes, because your “real” content is the first thing Google reads at your page (after title etc).
It won’t do much, but it won’t hurt.
Jimmie
I am using the “Hide Featured Image” plug-in in an effort get rid of the big empty box in the middle of my product pages. It works. However, when I do this, it negatively affects the images in the product gallery below. To see what I mean, please refer to this page which has the featured image hidden:
When the plug-in is set to “off” on the page, the product photos are coordinated properly with the color option chosen & that part works like a charm.
How can I get them to both work together?
THANKS
WPBeginner Support
Hi Jimmie,
Try disabling all other plugins to see if this solves the issue. If it does, then activate them one by one until this issue occurs again. This will help you find out if another plugin is causing the conflict.

It’s going to be strenous for like lots of post.. Is there a plugin that can do it all at once?
Sheree
Is there any way to stop the featured image from showing up on the home page as well?? This plug-in works well to hide it in posts, but my home page (which is just a feed of blog posts) is now a mess of featured images.
Basically, I just want the feature image attached to the post for RSS feed newsletters and social sharing, but I don’t want it to appear in the article OR on my homepage. I’ve been tearing my hair out on this for hours…

When I found this, I expected to read something about SEO too. The question is what SEO effect does hiding featured image have, especially if it’s hidden by css on a post type because you don’t want it to appear on that post type only?
Lisa Scott
You are a lifesaver. Thanks so much. This worked beautifully for me. So glad to have it all straightened out.
Kreshnik
Thanks for the post, it’s help me a lot but can i hide Featured Images from all my video post formats.
Chris R
Does this work such that on the HOME page, the featured image would display, but for the post itself, you could hide it? (So, for example, you might have a static thumb in the home page loop, but want to show a slider in the post itself).
Josh M
I’m trying to figure out how to do the same thing with no luck.
I would like the featured images to be displayed as thumbnails on the homepage. But for the post pages I want to hide the featured image from a certain post, but have the featured on other posts still display on the posts page. I would like to do this without adding a plugin.
Let me know if you were able to solve this.
Anita
I have the exact same issue.
Ali
I have the same issue. Any luck?
Ali
I found a solution for this.
Enter this code into your theme’s custom CSS area:
.single.postid-99 .post-img {display: none;}
Replace “99” with the post id for which you want to hide the featured image.
