No option to add featured image in single event

[mvanderhorst]

I’m not sure if there is an option I’m missing or if it’s a bug but I don’t have the option to add a featured image when I create an event. I see it mentioned in the documentation and on screenshots.

I did some further exploring and it seems to be a conflict with the theme that I’m using. I’m not sure where to go from here.

I enabled post-thumbnail support for the tribe_events post type in my custom function file. The option is now there and it seems to work but I don’t know if I just got lucky or if this the best way to solve the problem.

@mvanderhorst, I’m having the same issue. Could you share the code for your fix, please?

[mvanderhorst]

Here is what I added to the functions.php file in my child theme.

add_action( ‘init’, ‘create_post_pub’ );
function create_post_pub()
{
// Add featured image support to events plugin
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array( ‘post’, ‘tribe_events’ ) );
add_theme_support( ‘thumbnail’, array( ‘post’, ‘tribe_events’ ) );
}

It worked, thanks so much!

Some themes only declare post thumbnail support for a limited number of post types – it sounds like that is what happened here and I definitely see no problem with your solution. Thanks for sharing it!

Thank you Barry. I love the plug in!

I tried this fix and cannot seem to get it to work. I added it to functions.php within my Theme.

Hi econclubtampa,

We’d be happy to help you out, but would you mind starting your own thread? That way we can focus on your specific situation.

Thanks,
Leah
