Hide Profile Image CPT

### 1. **CSS Approach**
If the profile image is already being output and you just want to hide it visually:
1. Inspect the custom post type's output in your browser to locate the HTML element of the profile image.
2. Add the following CSS code in your theme's CSS file or through the Customizer (`Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS`):
/* Replace .custom-post-type-profile-image with the actual class or ID */
.custom-post-type-profile-image {
display: none;
}
—
### 2. **Modify the Template File**
If the profile image is being added via a template file, you can modify or conditionally remove it.
1. Locate the custom post type's template file:
– It could be `single-{custom-post-type}.php` or `content-{custom-post-type}.php`.
– If it's a custom block or dynamic, it might be in a block render function or a `template-parts` folder.
2. Search for the code displaying the profile image, for example:
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
3. Remove or comment out the profile image code:
<!-- Removed profile image -->
<?php // echo get_the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
—
### 3. **Via Functions.php**
If the profile image is being added programmatically in `functions.php` or a plugin:
1. Locate the hook or filter related to the custom post type image. For example:
add_action('the_content', 'add_custom_image_to_cpt');
2. Remove or conditionally disable the action:
remove_action('the_content', 'add_custom_image_to_cpt');
If the image is conditionally loaded, you can add logic to skip the display for the custom post type:
add_filter('post_thumbnail_html', function ($html, $post_id) {
if (get_post_type($post_id) === 'your_custom_post_type') {
return ''; // Remove the image
}
return $html;
}, 10, 2);
—
### 4. **Using a Page Builder or Plugin**
If your site uses a page builder (like Elementor or Divi) or a plugin to manage content:
– Edit the custom post type's template in the page builder.
– Remove or hide the profile image module/widget/block.
—
### 5. **Plugins for Advanced Management**
Use a plugin like **Custom Post Type UI** or **Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)** to conditionally control what elements are displayed.

### 1. **Modify the Template File**
If you have a template file for your custom post type (e.g., `single-{custom-post-type}.php` or `archive-{custom-post-type}.php`), update it like this:
<?php
// Check if the post has a featured image
if (has_post_thumbnail()) {
// Display the featured image
the_post_thumbnail('full');
} else {
// Display a default image
echo '<img src="' . esc_url(get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default-image.jpg') . '" alt="Default Image">';
}
?>
– Replace `default-image.jpg` with the path to your default image. You can upload this image to your theme’s `images` folder or any other location you prefer.
– Use `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()` instead of `get_template_directory_uri()` if you're working with a child theme.
—
### 2. **Use a Filter**
If you want to handle this dynamically without modifying the template, use the `post_thumbnail_html` filter in your `functions.php`:
add_filter('post_thumbnail_html', function ($html, $post_id) {
// Check if the post has a featured image
if (!$html && get_post_type($post_id) === 'your_custom_post_type') {
// Return the default image
$html = '<img src="' . esc_url(get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default-image.jpg') . '" alt="Default Image">';
}
return $html;
}, 10, 2);
—
### 3. **Default Featured Image via a Plugin**
If you prefer not to modify code directly, you can use a plugin like **Default Featured Image** to specify a fallback image for posts without thumbnails.
1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Set the default featured image in the plugin's settings.
3. The plugin will handle the rest automatically for all post types.
—
### 4. **Support Multiple Custom Post Types**
If you have multiple custom post types and want to use a default image for each, you can extend the logic:
add_filter('post_thumbnail_html', function ($html, $post_id) {
$default_images = [
'custom_post_type_1' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default-type1.jpg',
'custom_post_type_2' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default-type2.jpg',
];
$post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
if (!$html && array_key_exists($post_type, $default_images)) {
$html = '<img src="' . esc_url($default_images[$post_type]) . '" alt="Default Image">';
}
return $html;
}, 10, 2);
—
### 5. **Using `get_the_post_thumbnail()`**
If you're directly using `get_the_post_thumbnail()` to retrieve the featured image in your template, you can provide a fallback image URL like this:
echo get_the_post_thumbnail(
$post_id,
'full',
['alt' => 'Default Image', 'src' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default-image.jpg']
);
—
### Final Steps
– Ensure the fallback image is responsive by setting appropriate attributes or classes for styling.
– Test to confirm the default image is displayed when the featured image is missing.

### 1. **Using a GeoDirectory Filter**
GeoDirectory provides filters to modify how listing images are displayed. You can use the `geodir_default_image` filter to set a default image.
Add this code to your theme’s `functions.php` file:
add_filter('geodir_default_image', function ($image, $post_id) {
if (!$image) {
// Path to your default image
$image = get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default-listing.jpg';
}
return $image;
}, 10, 2);
– Replace `default-listing.jpg` with the path to your desired default image.
– This will ensure that the default image is used whenever a listing doesn’t have a featured image.
—
### 2. **Override the Listing Template**
GeoDirectory uses templates for displaying listings. You can override the relevant template in your child theme and add the logic for a default image.
1. Locate the template for listing items:
– GeoDirectory templates are usually in `wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/templates/`.
2. Copy the template (e.g., `archive-listing.php` or `single-listing.php`) to your theme:
– Place the file in `wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/geodirectory/`.
3. Edit the template to include a fallback image. Replace the featured image code with something like this:
<?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail('full'); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<img src="<?php echo esc_url(get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default-listing.jpg'); ?>" alt="Default Listing Image">
<?php endif; ?>
—
### 3. **Using the GeoDirectory Hooks**
GeoDirectory provides hooks for customization. You can add a default image by hooking into the listing display action.
add_action('geodir_listing_before_image', function ($post_id) {
if (!has_post_thumbnail($post_id)) {
echo '<img src="' . esc_url(get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/default-listing.jpg') . '" alt="Default Listing Image">';
}
});
This will insert the default image before the listing image section.
—
### 4. **Check GeoDirectory Settings**
GeoDirectory has a built-in feature for default images. Check the plugin settings:
1. Go to **GeoDirectory > Design > General**.
2. Look for an option like **Default Image** or similar.
3. Upload your default image here, and GeoDirectory will use it for listings without a featured image.
—
### 5. **Using Custom CSS for Styling**
If the default image is being added but you need to style it, you can add custom CSS:
.geodir-default-image {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
object-fit: cover;
}
