Chaplin Theme not fully working with Postie plugin

    Hi Anders,

    I’m using Chaplin (Version 2.6.7, WordPress?6.3.2) for a client’s website. It looks fab. However, I just encountered a problem with the plugin ‘Postie’ (posting via email, version 1.9.65). All works perfectly fine, except for one setting: Postie has the option ‘Use First Image [in the email] as Featured Image’. This feature works with every other theme I’ve tested, but not with Chaplin.

    We’d hate to ditch the Chaplin theme. Therefore, can you suggest a workaround for this?

    Hi @hapemuller,

    Chaplin uses get_the_post_thumbnail_url() to check if a featured image is set, so if the plugin has set that correctly, the image should still be output.

    The reason for has_post_thumbnail() not being used in the conditional is that Chaplin has a built-in fallback image feature.

    Thanks Anders!

    Postie author here.

    As far as I know the only way to set a thumbnail is via post_thumbnail_url() which is what Postie does.

    Do you have a filter for post_thumbnail_url that is manipulating the URL in some way?

    I see what is happening. Since Chaplin has a fallback image it always reports that a thumbnail exists so Postie doesn’t add the one that came via email (you can only have one)

    One way to fix this is to disable the thumbnail fallback image.
