What's going wrong
Site owners using the Hide Featured Image plugin report that after switching the setting to yes, the featured image still appears at the top of posts and pages. The problem shows up across many setups, including Divi, Twenty Seventeen, OceanWP, Themify, and other custom themes, and across several WordPress versions. Some owners end up writing custom CSS to hide the image instead. The pattern points to a gap between the plugin's hide method and how themes output their header images, and an opportunity for a verified compatibility layer that proves the image is hidden.
