<p>Additionally, by default, this plugin only hides the featured image when it is loaded inside the loop. If your theme loads it outside the loop check out the first FAQ entry for a solution.</p>


Conditionally display featured image on singular posts and pages

It works!

I was able to get this working on Genesis Press themes by adding the following code.

function wp234_featured_post_image($v)  {
    global $post;

	if ( is_singular( 'post' ) && get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'cybocfi_hide_featured_image', true ) ) {
        return ' ';
	}

    return $v;
}
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_image', 'wp234_featured_post_image', 8 );
