Featured Image for Portfolio

    Hi all!
    I’m super new to WordPress, but I’ve been struggling with a specific feature on Jetpack. I’m using a portfolio plugin, and it requires that Jetpack’s “Custom content-Portfolio” be activated. I have this activated, and I can create posts as portfolio entries just fine.

    HOWEVER, on the right sidebar there is no “featured Image” option for individual projects. For instance when you enter a blog post, there is a little sidebar on the right that allows you to upload a featured image that will be the thumbnail for the post. I CANNOT find an equivalent for the Portfolio posts.

    Any ideas welcome as I am very new to WordPress and I’m not even sure where to start looking. I have looked through Jetpack’s configuration settings and haven’t found anything.

    Could you click on the “Screen Options” tab at the top of the page, and make sure that Featured Images are enabled there?

    Hi Jeremy, thanks for looking over my question!

    I’m on the Portfolio tab and the option to add a featured image isn’t available under the Screen Options drop-down. It is checked on all my site apges though. Screenshot below.

    I figured it out! It is a problem with the Theme I’m using (Bento). I switched to TwentySixteen and I was able to add a featured image. Hopefully I will find a way to fix this without having to recreate the whole site to match a different theme.
    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks for the extra details! If you’d like you can switch back to Bento and then add the following to a functionality plugin like this one:

    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'jetpack-portfolio' ) );

    It should hopefully add the Featured Image functionality to the Portfolio Post Type in that theme.

    Let me know how it goes!
