Work perfectly on my website.
Thank you so much for creating this plugin. I have been using it for a couple of months and it works superbly. I didn’t think such a plugin would exist since it serves such a niche purpose and was so pleased to have found it and that it just works. It works so simply (just a check box, basically plug and play) and is perfect for my site.
For those of you who want to know applications for how this plugin could be used: I have another plugin that displays content on a page using a shortcode, that content already contains an image but that image does not show up in lists of recent posts such as on the home page, so I have to add that image as a featured image in the post that contains the short code. Without this plugin, the page will show two instances of the same image at the same time and would not look so good. This plugin lets me add a featured image to a post, display it anywhere that lists recent posts for visual purposes, but then hide it on the actual page itself so only the image from the shortcode shows. Perfect.
For some reason, CSS to hide featured image wasn’t working, this plugin did the trick…
Thanks so much!
Plug and play, straight forward, just works. Works on WordPress 6.6, maybe it doesn’t need to be updated that often. Thank you for such a simple fix to a niche request!
Finally. A plug-in that just works. Thank you for making my headache go away.
