No "Featured Image" box when using my site's theme

[glasgowhop]

When adding or editing events in PRO, I have no “Featured Image” box. I can add images into the event description, but that’s all.

I use the “Brooklyn” theme from “United Themes”. When I switch back to the “Twenty Fourteen” theme, the option appears again, meaning I need to switch themes to add or change featured images, then switch back again.

Is this something that can be corrected in Events Calendar Pro, or would it be something that would need to be done in the Brooklyn theme?

Hey @glasgowhop and welcome back to the forums!

That’s certainly odd. Given that the Featured Image functionality does work in the default Twenty Fourteen theme, it certainly looks as though the conflict is coming directly from the Brooklyn theme. You might want to check your Screen Options at the top of the post editor (screenshot) to see if the Featured Image option is selected when that theme is active.

If it is active, then my best guess is that the theme uses a custom function that overrides the default Featured Image functionality in WordPress and, in that case, the theme author would be the best point of contact to check it out.

Let’s start there and see what we find.

Thanks!

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your reply. When I go to Screen Options, the Featured Image doesn’t appear as an option:

Again, if I switch to Twenty Fourteen, it’s back in Screen Options:

Thanks,

Shoot, yeah, then that’s definitely something that the theme is intentionally blocking. I’d suggest getting in touch with the theme author to find a way to re-enable that on the end so it will be an available option.

Sorry I don’t have a solid solution for you here, but I do hope this helps at least narrow down what happening here and steers you in the right direction!
