+### How do I stop the featured image action from showing on my custom post types?
 
-### What is Simplify Feed?
+You'll want to add a filter to your theme (functions.php file). Here's an example:
 
-If you use native WordPress galleries in your posts, they're sent to your feed as thumbnails. Even if you do not use an RSS/email service, you can still use this plugin to sort out your galleries for subscribers who use an RSS reader. If you select Simplify Feed, your galleries will be converted, but there will not be an email sized image created, and no alternate feed will be created.
+```php
+add_filter( 'display_featured_image_genesis_skipped_posttypes', 'rgc_skip_post_types' );
