Not with Gutenberg (block editor)
by binjomin·7 months ago

It works, but not in block editor. If you want with block editor, easiest is using an update alternative called “Conditionally display featured image on singular posts and pages”. Alternatively, tell GitHub Copilot to make it work with block editor and then it adds a piece to the beginning of index.php (not tested):

// Register meta for REST API compatibility (Gutenberg)

add_action( ‘init’, function() {

register_post_meta( ”, ‘_hide_featured’, array(

‘show_in_rest’ => true,

‘single’ => true,

‘type’ => ‘string’,

‘auth_callback’ => function() { return current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ); }

) );

} );

WP 5.8.2 still works
by wclune·4 years ago

It maybe abandoned but as of 5.8.2 it still works for me using WP-Weaver Xtreme theme.

Simply doesn’t work
by eredmon·5 years ago

Don’t waste your time. Trump voters apparently designed this plugin. You can click that “hide feature post” all you want. I’m pretty sure that just makes your feature image more visible somehow. It just doesn’t work.

Still working
by linux garage·5 years ago

This is a beautifully coded plugin by a talented developer.

I’m using 5.4.2 —- classic editor.

Tried it this week and still working.

All the best to Shah Pranav !
