Hi,
I finally made the switch to Read WP, but when adding new contents (pages and The Events Calendar events) the Featured Image field doesn’t appear.
Old posts of the same type with featured images look as expected when displayed on the site, even with the Read WP theme.
List view: http://www.indiefulrok.com/events/
Event post view: http://www.indiefulrok.com/event/nuit-sonores-2016/Is it so that featured images are only supported for a limited number of post types in the theme? Is there any easy way to get around this?
Thanks & Regards,
AnnaHi Anna,
It looks like it is occurring because of the 3rd party of plugins. First of all, i would recommend you to deactivate all you plugin and activate one by one and try it again. You will understand which plugin is conflicting with the theme.
ThanksThanks for the quick response! I tried deactivating all plugins, but still didn’t have the option to add a Featured Image to pages. And with just The Events Calendar plugin active there was no option to add Featured Image to new events either.
I tried switching to another theme with all the same plugins installed and active, and then adding a Featured Image to any kind of post/page was not an issue. Going back to Read WP (which exposed some issues with the Custom CSS function*) the Featured Image option wasn’t there anymore.
*As for the Custom CSS function problem (which I do not need help solving, but could be interesting for you to troubleshoot): I had some Custom CSS configured via Read WP before changing to the other theme. Returning to Read WP the Edit CSS option was missing from the Appearance menu. Fortunately I had a separate tab open from before I changed the team from Read WP the first time, and there I could still click the Edit CSS menu. After pressing the Save Stylesheet button the Edit CSS option was again available sitewide.
Hi Anna,
Thanks for the feedback. It is really weird and didn’t happen before. I will double check it again.
Btw i want you to check one thing. Go to Screen Options ( At the top of the page ) > Boxes > Check the Featured ImagesUnfortunately the Featured Images checkbox is not available to me for the affected pages/post types.
When creating a new page, boxes only exist for “Page Attributes”, “Sidebar”, “SEO” , “Custom Fields”, “Discussion”, “Slug”, “Author”, “Sharing” (SEO and Sharing coming from Jetpack)
I had a look at the functions.php and found that theme support for post-thumbnails was only enabled for ‘post’, ‘portfolio’ and ‘gallery’ post types. Adding ‘page’ and ‘tribe_events’ respectively to that array solved my problem.
