Custom Field “Hide on sigle entry”, and Gravity Forms

Hey Oriano,

Thank you for the inquiry.

The Featured Image option is only available for posts or portfolio items. If you want to add this option to your own custom post type, you can use the avf_display_featured_image_posttypes filter in the functions.php file.

add_filter('avf_display_featured_image_posttypes', function($post_types) {
   $post_types[] = 'your_post_type';
   return $post_types;
}, 10, 1);

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

The Featured Image settings should display inside the Layout metabox just under the Header visibility and transparency settings. If you want to control it manually, you can add a new custom field called _avia_hide_featured_image and set the value to true or false.

Best regards,

Hi,

But I need to give the possibility to choose to show or hide the Featured image of the post also to the user who creates a new Post via Gravity Forms.

We are not entirely clear on how that works. Could you please explain further?

Did you replace the placeholder “your_post_type” with the actual name of the post type?

add_filter('avf_display_featured_image_posttypes', function($post_types) {
   $post_types[] = 'your_post_type';
   return $post_types;
}, 10, 1);

then I add the custom field “_avia_hide_featured_image” and edit Value “true”, but the response I get is “Please provide a custom field value.”

Could you please provide a screenshot or a short clip of the error, or the input field where you entered the custom field?

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,
Thanks for the video, I’m not sure how your plugin works, but your test post is a Block Editor post on the backend, but if I publish it it seems to be a ALB post on the frontend, so I believe this causes an issue. Similar to if you try to switch editors after a post is created, this often causes errors with the content.
If you don’t want the featured image to show you can use this css to hide it:

.single-post .big-preview.single-big {
	display: none;
}

This might be the best way to work around this.

Hi,
In my research I fould the custom fields that begin with an underscore are hidden custom fields and are not displayed in the WordPress edit post page and can only be updated programmatically.
This is why you can not add it manually, I found and function that will allow the field to be shown, but you still can not manually update it:

add_filter( 'is_protected_meta', function( $protected, $meta_key, $meta_type )
{
    $allowed = array( '_avia_hide_featured_image', '_test', '_wp_page_template' );
    if( in_array( $meta_key, $allowed ) )
        return false;

    return $protected;
}, 10, 3 );

See these pages for reference:

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/116534/how-to-allow-hidden-custom-fields-to-be-added-from-wp-admin-post-php

Perhaps your best solution will be to create a new custom field that will add a custom class to the page body and then use css to hide the featured image when ever the class is on the page.

Hi,
I don’t know about your plugin so I don’t know how the form that you have created will be able to add to a custom field.
But this post will explain how to use the add a custom field to add a custom body class.
