Ghost Image on Posts

  • I’m using GeneratePress Premium and started with the Mason template. There is a ghost image from the original template appearing on every post blended with the featured image. I don’t know where that ghost image is coming from. I don’t see it referenced in the Single Posts Header page hero element or Single Posts Width layout element for posts. I had a similar issue with the main blog page and I ended up having to recreate the page hero element from scratch to get rid of it. Not sure if I need to do the same thing here. I’ve played with Disable Featured Image on/off, checking/unchecking Featured Image in Disable Elements area of the layout element and nothing seems to work. In the outermost container of the hero page element, I have the background set to 1st use the dynamic tag for featured image (required to render is unchecked in settings) and 2nd as a default/backup image. That 2nd image isn’t showing up at all. Instead, it’s showing the featured image blended with some old default image from somewhere. Any ideas where this is coming from and how to fix it?

  • Hi there,

    Can you provide a post link where I can see the issue?

    Let me know 🙂

  • 1. Go to appearance > elements, edit the element called Single posts header.

    2. Select the main container, click the Selector manager button, click before, and remove the background image for this selector:https://app.screencast.com/pQ9icJTsT4JW5

  • That’s perfect. Thanks so much! What exactly is purpose/intent of that “before” selector?

  • It’s a pseudo-element; it’s a CSS way to create a new element to accommodate the background image. But it’s not nessasery, applying the background image to the container itself would work too.
