Does what it needs to do

Works on WP 5.8 with build in Gutenberg editor for CPT = posts When you remove the image the message re-appears

by renathy

allows to remove thumb image

It allows to delete thumb image on existing posts. If I open post that already doesn’t have thumb image it doesn’t show any error message.

by bullshark

Doesn’t work on version 5.1

at least in terms of hiding the button. Plz fix already.
