Ok so you’ve created a grid page by creating subpages with titles, excerpts and featured images. The trouble is those featured images also appear on the subpages themselves — probably not what you want.
Well you can remove them with some simple CSS. You’ll need the Custom Design upgrade for this, but you can try it out first by going to Appearance > Custom Design > Preview for free (in the CSS box). Then in the CSS input box, paste in this code…
.page-child .attachment-motif-page-thumbnail {display: none;}
Before this code was provided by WordPress.com, I’d worked out this (slightly less elegant) way of achieving the same result. So if for any reason the above code doesn’t work for you, give this a try instead…
.entry-thumbnail {display: none;}
.grid-row .entry-thumbnail {display: inherit;}
Let me know how you get on :-)
All the best,
James

You are awesome! This works like a charm where absolutely nothing else out there on the web works at all.
Thank you! Finally something that works :)
You’re welcome!
Thanks James. This has been bugging me since I set up my site. All fixed now, even though I had to pay for the upgrade to be able to do it.
No worries John, glad it helped!
The first method stopped working recently, but the second one is working James. Thanks again!
No worries John! Good to know, thanks.
Thanks James, I’m just getting to grips with Motif. I have the grid pages working fine but is here a way to have different text on the sub-page?
Hi Michele, yes you simply edit the sub-page and edit the text in the usual way. I hope this helps, let me know :-)
For me worked the following:
.attachment-post-thumbnail {
display: none;
}
Great stuff, thanks Hans.
