Custom Post Type: Thumbnails are Missing in Archive

    I am trying to create a move dictionary, which means I have one custom post type and two taxonomies:

    Post type: Moves
    Taxonomy 1: Levels (skill level)
    Taxonomy 2: Class (type of move)

    I have everything enabled for Supports, including Featured Image.

    HOWEVER, when I go to that custom post type’s archives, none of the featured images appear.

    As this is very visual, it’s important that the thumbnails appear. Does anyone have a clue as to what I can do?

    you’re going to need to check your template files, specifically the archive.php file to see if those are set to output featured images inside the WordPress loop output. Looks like probably similar steps needed for single.php as well.

    @tw2113 Sorry for the trouble, but do you have more detail on that? I am not very familiar with code, so I’m not sure what I would or would not be looking for.

    Is this a custom theme? or one that you purchased from somewhere else? Asking because it may be a case of some sort of theme option being available to toggle showing featured images for post types and whatnot. Hard for me to say based on what information I have. Otherwise, it’ll have to be a theme modification of some sort, as CPTUI has no way to just enable the display of the images. It’s up to the theme itself to handle that.

    @tw2113 Understood – and more than happy to share details, thank you for taking the time to help.

    I’m using a purchased theme. I’m currently using the Divi Extra theme (ver 4.4.7) on WordPress

    Using CPT UI to manage the themes, and I figure it had something to do with the display images because my normal post and page archives display images just fine, just for some reason, these don’t.

    I also have “moves” as an enabled post type in Divi settings, so divi builder is enabled and it’s aware that there’s a new post type.

    May be worth checking with Divi support for this as well, in case they have an option or setting buried somewhere that would enable the display for post type archives and the like.
