featured image display ONLY on select catagories

[kmmackey]

Hello,

I have a several blog type pages on a site that I am building. I would like the "featured image" to appear ONLY on one category.

I read this - http://wpsmith.net/2012/genesis/how-to-hide-the-featured-image-of-a-specific-category-on-the-blog-page-in-genesis/ -

I have only one category that needs the image to appear and the example above refers to hiding only one category. I do not know how to modify that code to hide more than one category. Can someone tell me how to do that or if there is a better way to do it.

Thanks,
Kathy

Go to Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives > deselect "Include the Featured Image?"

Add this to your functions.php file:

add_action( 'genesis_before_entry_content', 'child_category_thumbnail' );
function child_category_thumbnail() {
	if ( in_category( 'yourcategory' ) ) {
		the_post_thumbnail();
	}
}

yourcategory is your category. If you want to add more categories, then add more categories in an array separated by a comma (e.g., if ( in_category( array( 'category1', 'category2', 'category3' ) ) ) { )

A nicer alternative (more similar to Genesis) - this links the featured image to the post, but no featured image when in single view:

add_action( 'genesis_before_entry_content', 'child_category_thumbnail' );
function child_category_thumbnail() {
	if ( in_category( 'yourcategory' ) && ! is_singular() ) {
		echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_post_thumbnail() . '</a>';
	}
}
