Lifestyle Pro – Featured image repeats itself at the top of page

[Tribulatio]

Hello,

I had recently posted a question about a website that was not yet live: it is live now, and I am pleased with the result, using Lifestyle Pro. The website is a complete redesign and update of a website originally built with Dreamweaver in 2003, and having kept the same design since. No need to say visitors are impressed by the change: the wonder that it WordPress with Genesis themes!

Anyway, while I have solved all the issues that I encountered while building the site, I am now facing a perplexing problem that I have never encountered before on other sites that I built with WordPress and Genesis. The issue is that, if I select a featured image either for an article or for a page, that image automatically gets repeated at the top of the page, between the header and the article.

I had never seen such a behaviour. It happens on any type of post or page that includes a featured image. The issue disappears as soon as no featured image is selected any longer.

I have unselected all featured images, except for one in order to allow fellow users to see the issue on the included URL.

I assume that the issue is theme-related, otherwise I would have already encountered it on other websites on which I am using Genesis themes. I have sites built with Magazine Pro, Daily Dish Pro, Metro Pro, Modern Studio Pro, News Pro, as well as third-party themes: never had such an issue.

I cannot think of any setting that I have activated and that could cause that issue.

Of course, I could just give up featured images, but it would be a limitation for further developments of that project.

I thank you in advance for any advice someone might have.

I have attempted to deactivate those widgets that are not essential for the proper functioning of my site, and that I do not use on other sites: to no avail. The only specificity of this site, compared with other sites, is that it uses Polylang. I do not think that it can have an impact, but I mention it nevertheless.

Maybe I should deactivate all plugins in order to see if it changes something. But I cannot do that on a live site that was just redesigned and currently gets up to 1,000 visitors a day. I should probably create a clone in staging status, and experiment there.

But did anybody already experience such issues with featured images, and found the source of the issue?

Victory! After many hours of search, I have achieved what I wanted-by inserting in the CSS the following simple code:

.egwp_featured_image {
    display: none;
}

I assume that I should still add before some information telling specifically that the featured image should not appear on individual pages and posts, but show on archive lists, list of recent articles, etc. Any suggestion about the proper code for adding that would be appreciated.

Just to share the end of the story: the culprit was the Easy Genesis Pro plugin. It had been installed, activated, but - without me noticing - it did not appear in settings, and its settings were actually not accessible ("unable to load" message when I finally attempted to access them from the plugin list, after figuring out what the prefix "egwp_" could mean). Thus the plugin had created settings that I could not see anywhere and I had no access to.
Of course, I have shared that information with the developer.
