How to remove default Post image on WP sidebar

Hi all,

Calling All Developers --- Please help

I am using this free theme

Attachement:

Theme Preview: acmethemes.com/demo/?theme=supermag


The thing is, I am using this theme for a 'news syndication' site, and I don't need images in the posts.

The problem is, even though when there are no images used in a post, this theme adds a placeholder image "by default" for every post in the right sidebar.

So basically all I want is to get rid of this default image appearing in every post in the sidebar. I contacted the theme support and they suggested me that the option can be removed by using a WP child theme. The tragedy is, I am not good with development or CSS but can play with the code (copy/paste).

Please guide.

    • Thanks for your response.

      I have already checked the files in WP Editor for the DIVs in which the image is coming (it's coming through a widget I think), but there were no DIVs showing the code that is bringing the image. It would've been easy for me if the code was visible, but I think that code is hidden or something, hehehe.

      What to do now please?
  • Simplest solution, you can simply add some custom CSS to the site's <head> to hide the images.

    Install the WordPress plugin 'Simple Custom CSS' - https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/

    Then, insert this CSS code...
    Code:
    .secondary-sidebar aside figure.widget-image {
    display: none;
}
    That should take care of it.

    • Thanks mate. I'll do that.

      The plugin you mentioned, it is for adding CSS code right? The theme I mentioned already has an option where I can add CSS code, so I assume I don't need this plugin to add the code and can add it in the theme CSS option, right?

      Thanks again.
