Featured images are an important feature for every post, page, or any other post type you have on your website. At the same time, when you add a featured image to your post or page, it will appear on top of your content.
If you want to disable featured images from appearing on your posts, pages, or any other post type, you can add the following custom code to the functions.php file of your Child Theme:
/**
* Disable Featured image on all post types.
*/
function your_prefix_featured_image() {
$post_types = array('page','post');
// bail early if the current post type if not the one we want to customize.
if ( ! in_array( get_post_type(), $post_types ) ) {
return;
}
// Disable featured image.
add_filter( 'astra_featured_image_enabled', '__return_false' );
}
add_action( 'wp', 'your_prefix_featured_image' );
If you don’t have your Child Theme installed, please check this article on how to do it.

This code will remove featured images on all of your pages and posts. You can apply this code only to pages, posts, any of your other post types, or all of them by modifying the bolded part of the code above. Here are the examples how this should look like:
- To remove featured image on all your posts only:
$post_types = array('post');
- To remove featured image on all your pages only:
$post_types = array('page');
- To remove featured image on all pages, posts and example custom post type. This is the example which you can use to add any other post types you want the above code to be applied:
$post_types = array('page','post','custom-type-1');
