WordPress. How to remove featured images from posts single pages

By default, featured images are displayed at the top of single post pages:

In order to hide featured images on single post pages, you need to modify the post-thumb.php file. To make such change, please follow the steps listed below:

1. Download and open up the wordpress/wp-content/themes/themeXXXXX/includes/post-formats/post-thumb.php file and locate the line 25 (approximately). There you’ll see the following PHP code:

    
   			echo '<figure class="featured-thumbnail thumbnail '.$figure_class.'" >'.$post_image_before.'<img '.$image.' alt="'.get_the_title().'" >'.$post_image_after.'</figure>';
   		

   This code echoes (outputs) featured images onto single post pages.

2. Wrap the code mentioned above in a if(!is_single()) condition. You should get the following result:

    
   			if(!is_single()) {
   			echo '<figure class="featured-thumbnail thumbnail '.$figure_class.'" >'.$post_image_before.'<img '.$image.' alt="'.get_the_title().'" >'.$post_image_after.'</figure>';
   			}
   		

   

3. Save the changes in the wordpress/wp-content/themes/themeXXXXX/includes/post-formats/post-thumb.php file and upload it to the server.

   The final result should look like this:
