    You can set every post a featured image (optional), that image will appear on the blog list.

    What do you mean by “Facebook / Social Sharing?” ?

    Is there an example of how the images appear on the blog list?

    Meaning will the featured image be pulled when sharing on Facebook, et cetera.

    Many thanks,

    You can see blog list with featured images;

    Also, yes featured image will be pulled when sharing on Facebook / Google+ / Pinterest.

    How do I prevent the featured image from displaying? I ask because I want to use YARPP new thumbnail feature:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/faq/

    And it pulls from the Featured post image.

    Thank you.

    Select featured image option in the YARPP settings page.

    Are you saying that “If I select the featured image under YARPP plugin, the Read theme will stop using the featured image in the blog list?”

    As that is what I want. I don’t want the Featured image to display in the blog lists, once I configure the Featured image to use with YARPP. This is because YARPP uses a much smaller image.

    Please let me know.

    I’ve checked now the settings page and it calls Thumbnails under YARPP plugin. But not tested.

    If you don’t want the Featured image to display in the blog page, don’t add featured image to posts.

    The issue is the YARPP pulls from the Featured Image.

    Do you see my challenge?

    I need to add a featured image for YARPP, but I don’t want that image to show in the blog list – ONLY for YARPP.

    Ok, understand, add your featured images for YARPP and add a code to hide them in the blog page.

    – Paste to Theme Options > Style > Custom CSS:

    .featured-image { display: none; }

    Hi, use this custom css:

    body.single-post .featured-image { display: none; }
