<p>Feature Image Extended extends featured image functionality allowing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hiding featured image in your themes for all post types.</li>
<li>Adding link to the featured image.</li>
<li>Adding thumbnail featured image in administration screens listing.</li>
<li>Featured image quick-editing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Once the plugin is installed you can control settings in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Programmatically by using <code>featured_image_extended_settings</code> filter (see below).</li>
<li>Using the <em>Settings->Featured Image Extended</em> administration screen.</li>
</ul>
<p>If your theme uses a different call other than <code>the_post_thumbnail()</code>/<code>get_the_post_thumbnail()</code> in order to get the featured image, this plugin might not work.<br />
So, in order to get extended featured image settings and apply to your pages, you should use <code>featured_image_extended()</code> (see below).</p>
<h3>API</h3>
<p><strong><code>featured_image_extended( integer $post_id = null )</code></strong></p>
<p>It returns an array containing featured image extended information of <code>$post_id</code> post (or current post if you don’t supply an argument) like following:</p>
<pre><code>array(
    'show'   => true,
    'url'    => 'https://myurl.com',
    'target' => '_blank',
    'title'  => 'Image title',
)
</code></pre>
<h4>Hooks</h4>
<p><strong><code>featured_image_extended_settings</code></strong></p>
<p>Filter plugin settings values.</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters( 'featured_image_extended_settings', array $settings )
</code></pre>
<p><strong><code>featured_image_extended_admin_settings</code></strong></p>
<p>Filter allowing to display or not the plugin settings page in the administration.</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters( 'featured_image_extended_admin_settings', boolean $display )
</code></pre>

<p>Easily control the visibility of the featured image on singular posts and pages–while keeping it visible in archive pages, query loops, and other list views. This plugin provides a simple checkbox option within the post editor, allowing you to enable or disable the display of the featured image on individual posts and pages.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Show or hide the featured image on singular pages and posts.</li>
<li>Seamlessly integrates with the WordPress post editor.</li>
<li>Simple checkbox toggle—no technical knowledge needed.</li>
<li>Compatible with most themes.</li>
<li>Supports WooCommerce product pages.</li>
<li>Lightweight and optimized for performance.</li>
<li>100% free—no ads, no upsells, no premium versions!</li>
</ul>
<p>Perfect for bloggers, content creators, and developers who want precise control over the visibility of featured images on a per-post basis.</p>
<h4>Important Notice</h4>
<p>If your theme uses a custom method to load the featured image (such as the Twenty Seventeen theme), this plugin may not work. To ensure compatibility, use standard WordPress functions like <code>get_the_post_thumbnail()</code>, <code>wp_get_attachment_image()</code>, or the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/post-featured-image-block/" rel="ugc">Post Featured Image</a> block.</p>
<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 );

Works great!

Easily control whether the featured image appears in the single post or page view (doesn't hide it in archive/list view).
