no featured events option in event custom post type?

[Owen]

I should have said that I did try that already… oops! Here’s a shot of what i have… I guess I should turn off the other plugins first and try again to see if it’s a conflict.

Hi there,
I can’t find the “featured image” box on the Events post editing (or add new) screen. It’s still available in regular posts, so I know that’s not the issue.
Events imported from Facebook still seem to have a featured image being imported, but I can’t change it, edit it, or add one to non-facebook imported events.
Thoughts?

Hi Owen,

You might want to double check your screen options. Click screen options in the upper right corner of the Create Event page, and make sure Featured Image is checked (http://d.pr/i/pjAQ). If that doesn’t help or you have further questions, please post in our PRO forum or Facebook Events forum.

Thanks,
Leah

Hi Owen,

It’s probably that your theme doesn’t support post thumbnails for some reason. Try adding the following to your themes functions.php file:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

Let me know whether or not that works.

Thanks,

It currently works for posts… just not for events!

Hi Owen,

Can you verify you are running the latest version of our plugin (2.0.11)? Also, what version of WordPress are you running? Please also try deactivating all other plugins and/or reverting to the Twenty Eleven/Twelve theme to rule out a conflict there.

Thanks,
Jonah

Crap, it’s the theme. Switched to Twenty Twelve and it showed up fine. In my theme, it works fine for posts, but not for events. So now I have to figure out how to fix that in the theme files, right? Yeesh…

Hi Owen,

What happens if you use this to add support for post thumbnails:

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array(‘post’, ‘tribe_events’));

Does that work?
