You know, I sort of figured it out 10 seconds after posting that – when you’re uploading a featured image, you can click “USE AS FEATURED IMAGE” without ever having to click “INSERT INTO POST”. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s an option to do that when you’re drawing from the galleries created by the plugin I use to manage photos.

Funny enough, I’ve got the opposite problem from Raphael -

My wordpress theme is like a news website, and uses a “Featured Image” from a blog post on the front page. Does anyone know how to feature an image WITHOUT having to have it show up in the actual post? Love the post, btw, I’ve been taking full advantage of the feature.

Don’t know if you still answer these questions here, but I’ll give it a shot.

I am using this feature on my new blog right now, and running into an issue with using the same feature image more then once. Apparently it attaches the photo to the post, so you can’t use the image more then once. However for my basic news updates that don’t have photos within it, I want to alternate between two images. I can’t find ANY info on how to go about doing this other then uploading the same images over and over and over again and thats just not a doable option for me.

hi! recently i’m having a problem… i believe it started when i installed a plugin for automatic post publishing on fb (already uninstalled).

now everytime i paste the link on facebook an image appears instead of the 1st image of the post.

this only occurs when there’s one image on the post and when the image is located BEFORE the “READ MORE” code, else everything goes ok…

would you be so kindly to help me out? i haven’t found an answer cause really don’t know how to search for that specific problem :S

i’m using the latest version of wordpress (3.2.1)

THANKS!

Oh my gosh! I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. That little evasive “add as feature image” link! Thanks for your hep. It works perfectly now.
