Since I am not a developer I was hoping to move to IPS5 with zero or as few as possible template code modifications. I would like to only use the front end theme and page editors.

I am under the assumption that that the bone stock template is as fast as anything and plays well with Google Core Web Vitals. It is not sex but my site is not very sexy.

The one thing I can not figure out is in pages how do I get rid of the cover photo when the whole article is displayed?

I want this on my index page

But NOT this on the actual aritcle

Do I need to get a dev to make this change or can I do it without code?

You would need to amend your records template, unless its a new database? If its a new database, just dont use "Record Image".

@Marc I found "Record Image Settings" in Pages / Editing Database Articles / Options. That setting toggles on and off the thumbnail on the index page AND the large image at the top of the actual article page.

I want to remove the large image at the top of the individual article page but I want to retain the thumbnail on the index page. Does this require editing the code for the template?

FYI - a search inside ACP for "Record Image Settings" did not return a result. The search inside ACP is often so helpful

This Custom CSS will do the trick. You can either add it to your theme, or to a CSS file in Pages which is assigned to your database:

/* Remove cover photo from database record */
.ipsPageHeader--database-record .ipsCoverPhoto{
	display: none;
}

Awesome! Thank you.
