Featured image option not available
11 replies · Started by Richard on July 28, 2022
Hello,
I have created 2 block elements, one for single post & one for the blog page. They are both set to bring in the featured image. The problem I have is that when editing a post I don't have the option to add the featured image?
Thanks

Hi Richard,
If you’re using GenerateBlocks, using a GB Image Block or a GB Container Block should allow you to do so. Just enable Dynanmic Data in their Block settings, and set the source to featured image.
Hi, Fernando
Yes, that's what I have done, but I'm unable to add a featured image to a post?
Do you have custom code or plugin to remove the Featured image in your site?
I can’t seem to see the Featured image metabox in the Post settings which should be there by default.
Not that I'm aware of? and yes that's what I thought.
I've tried disabling all plugins but that made no difference.
Can you try disabling all non-GP plugins to test again, and we’ll also check from our end if it appears?
Still no joy
Hey Fernando,
Have you made any headway with this issue yet?
Thanks

Hi there,
go to Appearance > Theme File Editor, you will see an error relating to your child theme, ie.
Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.
Add the missing Template: generatepress to the header.
it should look like this:
/*
Theme Name: Digital Covered Child
Theme URI: https://digitalcovered.co.uk/
Description: Default Digital Covered child theme
Author: Rich Flynn
Template: generatepress
Version: 0.1
*/
Do that and it should fix the issue
Thanks David, all sorted:)
Glad to hear that
