Monochrome Pro theme: how to remove featured image and author at top of posts

[practicum]

Hi, we purchased Monochome Pro and generally like it, except that the theme displays oversized and cut off featured images at the top of every post. At the top, the photo of the post author is also showing. How can I remove both? Thanks!

Unfortunately, no. StudioPress team, any guidance on how to do this?

It is possible to replace the featured image by a default image. In the single.php file look for the following code:

// Localize Backstretch script.
add_action( 'genesis_after', 'monochrome_set_background_image_post' );
function monochrome_set_background_image_post() {

wp_enqueue_script( 'monochrome-backstretch' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'monochrome-backstretch-set' );

$image = array( 'src' => has_post_thumbnail() ? genesis_get_image( array( 'format' => 'url' ) ) : '' );
wp_localize_script( 'monochrome-backstretch-set', 'BackStretchImg', $image );

You can upload your default background image into the media library and use it's file URL, by adding it as follows

Old line:

$image = array( 'src' => has_post_thumbnail() ? genesis_get_image( array( 'format' => 'url' ) ) : '' );

Replaced new line:

$image['src'] = '//demo.studiopress.com/monochrome/files/2017/03/sample-2.jpg';

(you'll replace image's file URL with your actual image's URL)

Good luck!
