featured image conflict with woo commerce

[Pamela]

We have a new install of Pro, uDesign child theme. I have diagnosed a conflict with woocommerce that causes the featured image option to disappear from the events/add events admin dashboard.
Is this a known issue? Any easy fix?
Install and problem are on a development site at ilaacp.org/2015.

OK, on further diagnosis, the conflict is with the combination of uDesign & woocommerce. I have tried to use this fix in child theme functions.php:

// Add support for post featured image.  To add this feature to other post types, add those new types to the array, e.g. array( 'post', 'page', 'movies' )
if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'page', 'movie', 'product', 'tribe_events' ) );
    add_theme_support('post-thumbnail', array('post', 'tribe_events'));
    ?>

But every time I try to add it, I’m breaking the functions.php (real hacker in php). I’m showing the entire functions.php here in hopes that you will recognize

where to put that code if it is right, and
if the necessary post types for events calendar are included in the array
or any other issues or fixes.

Thanks much,
Pamela

}

Hey Pamela,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

It looks like your first snippet is failing because it is missing the closing “}” for the conditional. However, since you’re using the latest version of WordPress I would recommend losing the “function_exists” conditional and just adding the following under line 9 of your functions.php file:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'tribe_events' ) );

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

[Pamela]

Thanks for the response.
If I wasn’t under such a deadline, I would go read a book on php.
That snippet is erroring out in a validator. screenshot attached.

[Pamela]

Maybe easier to see the screenshot here.

[Pamela]

OK, I don’t know where all that garbage came from in my earlier code, but I did successfully place your snippet after line 9.
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'tribe_events' ) );
Unfortunately, it didn’t fix the conflict.
If you can think of anything else, that will be great. I will also keep trying to figure it out.
Thanks.

So, the UDesign theme comes packaged with WPBakery Visual Composer plugin, but I am not using it on this site.
But if I activate it, the featured image option becomes available in Add New Events admin for The Events Calendar.
Weird.
Resolved, but weird.
Thanks,
Pamela

Hey Pamela,

Thanks for following up with us.

That is definitely strange but probably some type of override they’re using to control the display of their own content that has bled over into other Custom Post Types. I’m glad you were able to find a solution!

I’ll go ahead and close this ticket. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new one.

Thanks!
