Hi There,

I was wondering if there is a widget that I can use to show thumbnail of the featured image of a page in the sidebar. Or perhaps there is another way to do this?

Cheers,
Bas

@Bas: Did you check in “4. Catch Kathmandu: Featured Page” widget, through which you can assign page and select thumbnail and then add in your sidebar from “Appearance => Widgets”

Hi Sakin,

Yes, I have tried that. But what that widget does is put the entire page text in the sidebar, including the image. I just need the image, not the text (as I am already on that page and see the text in the main window)

So, is there a way to disclude the page-text from that widget?

So to be clear: I have set a featured image in every page. And when I click on that page, I go to that page. On that page, I see the text and the featured image above that text. I want to show that featured image in the sidebar, and not in the page itself.

@Bas: Sorry there is no option to do that. You might need to consider hiring customizer to work for you on this. The only option about “4. Catch Kathmandu: Featured Page”, you can hide the text with the help of Custom CSS. For this, you need to add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:

.widget_catchkathmandu_page_widget .widget-title,
.widget_catchkathmandu_page_widget .entry-summary { display: none; }

Hi Sakin,

luckily, I found a plugin that does the trick! https://wordpress.org/plugins/featured-image-widget/

@Bas: Thanks nice and thanks for sharing but be careful as that plugin is outdated and have not been updated over 2 years.
