Dear folks,
I would like to remove the pencil icon in the blog posts.
So, I did my research before posting this question. Alas. They are not working.
(I may have written about this but have not seen a response, so…)

I would like to remove them entirely or apply a custom image.

This is expressly for the Latest Posts Widgets in the sidebar

Workarounds:
– Theme Options – Blog – I entered in my default image if there was not featured image. Saved. Nothing.
– I entered in a featured images for the top three posts (that show up on the website). Saved. Nothing.
– I placed an RSS widget in the sidebar as an alternative – it does not offer the pencil icon. BUT now the Word “News” no longer links to the blog, so folks are limited to what shows up on the Home Page.

The Latest Post widget is actually built for what I want to do – so I’m guessing that once I remove the Pencil icon, I will use that widget exclusively and remove the RSS option.

I’m almost there.
Please help.
Thanks,
Meagan
