 * I want to remove the featured image from my posts. From what I’ve read, I would
   need to edit the single.php file but I couldn’t find this file

 * You shouldn’t modify any original theme code as when you come to update the theme
   in the future your code will be overwritten and need adding again, this will 
   be required after every single update.
 * You should create and install a [Child Theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   which will allow you to create a modified version of the **singular.php** file,
   which this theme uses instead of using separate _single.php_ and _page.php_ files(
   [Template Hierarchy](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/)).
 * You can simply make a duplicate copy of the file, put it in your child theme 
   folder and modify it to suit.
 * Child theme files are safe from being overwritten when updating the main theme(
   Parent Theme).
 * Hope this helps.

 * Hello,
 * We do not use a singular.php or single.php template. You can modify the top banner
   behavior by changing the file partials/subpage-banner.php.
 * Let me know if you have any questions.
 * Best,
    NT
