    WP Version: 4.3.1
    Theme: TwentyFourteen

    Hello Guys,

    The box, which allows me to add a featured image to a post suddenly disappeared. When I write a new post, the box is not there and it is not also in the Screen Options on the top. It is like this option has never been there.

    At the same time, I can still add featured images through the WP Mobile App.

    I find this pretty bizarre. I would be grateful if you manage to help me with this issue.

    Kind Regards,
    Damyan

    Hey Damyan,

    Is it possible that another plugin you’ve recently installed might be causing an issue here that’s remove that functionality? If you’re able to, it might be best to disable all plugins and see if the option reappears and then re-enable plugins one at time to see which one might be causing an issue. Hope that’s a good starting place at least.

    I did this already. I disabled all plugins and activated them again. I consider uninstalling them one by one, but honestly I don’t want to. ??

    Have you tried switching to the default theme?

    Hi Damyan90,

    It should work if you are using default wp 2014 theme, have you tried installing fresh copy of 2014 theme, might be someone customize it OR if that doesnt works then add this code in functions.php at the end within PHP tags

    add_action('after_setup_theme','custom_setup_options');
    
    function custom_setup_options(){
    
    	add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
    
    }

    Thank you swayam.tejwani for your response.

    Could you please clarify something for me, because I am still a newbie?

    Which function.php file should I put the code in? In the functions.php of TwentyFourteen theme, or in the functions.php of my Child Theme (my child theme has no functions.php btw)? If in 2014 theme, would the code disappear after a theme update?

    Also, I struggle to find the exact place in the functions.php where I should post the code. I would be grateful if you give me some more details about the exact place in the functions.php, where the code should be pasted.

    Thank you! ??

    If you have child theme installed for 2014 theme, then you need to put code there in functions,php, if you dont have functions.php in child theme then create one and place the code, if that doesnt work then try directly putting inside 2014 theme functions.php at the bottom before closing php tag ?>

    I am not sure if I am putting the code in the wrong place, but I watched tutorials how to add custom code to the functions.php file.

    It is still not working and this is freaking me out. I would be grateful if you have other suggestions. ??

    Also, I repeat again that I manage to add featured images to my posts through my mobile phone with the mobile WP app.

    Somebody, please? ??

    Not sure why its not working but you can debug like this way, may be it helps
    1) Deactivate all your plugins.
    2) Upgrade wordpress to latest version.
    3) Download fresh copy of 2014 theme.

    Implement these steps and check if its working, it should work btw if no extra customization is there ??
