Featured Image not working with NextGEN Gallery

    Hi – I’ve come across a small problem, but I’m not sure if it’s related to my theme or not (2010 Weaver).

    If I edit a post, and add a Featured Image using the normal media library, back on the editing screen the image is shown in the Featured Image section. If I update the post and take a look at it, sure enough the header image is replaced with the featured one.

    However, if I select one through NextGEN Gallery and set one of the images to ‘Use as thumbnail’ (I assume this should work?), again the Featured Image section contains the photo I selected, but when I update the post and look at it, the header is just default.

    If I go back to edit the post, the Featured Image is still correct, it just doesn’t show up when I use NextGEN to pick it.

    Is this supposed to work? Could it be a problem with my theme and if so what should I change?

    Is there any universal solution for this problem? My theme files (custom-community) doesn’t have any “if ( is_singular() …” or “the_post_thumbnail(array… ” lines, but i still badly need a fix for this. Thanks.

    I am having the same issues. I have a child theme on a genesis frame work and changing the header php is not reccommended. is there a hook I can insert in simple hooks or do you have some other solution to this?

    I’m having the same issue as everyone else. Like @bleggate I’m using a Studio Press /Genesis framework called “Amped”. When I posted this issue on the Studio Press forum I got the following response:

    The featured image works with WordPress Image Gallery, it is using WordPress functions to pull the thumbnail or first attached image. If you aren’t seeing images, then the NextGen gallery isn’t integrating into WordPress image gallery correctly.

    I’m also using a Studio Press Genesis Theme – Mocha. I would really like to use NextGen Gallery thumbnails for Featured Images without having to have a copy of my thumbnails uploaded to the WP Media Library.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    guys I am experiencing the same or very closely related issue here. The featured photos are there alright but very blurred when they appear on the featured slider. Any detailed solution to this will be greately appreciated. I am new with this..lol…currently using the newpro theme

    I’m using the ATOM theme and having the same issue using NextGen Gallery for the Featured Image. The affected page is here.

    Normally, if I would choose an image (using native gallery) to be used in a post, that image itself would be used as the featured image. It didn’t happen in this instance, so I chose the image using NextGen Gallery for the Featured Image. When you look at the home page, it removes the placeholder for the featured image and moves the entire post over to the left.

    Does anybody have an idea what I need to do to correct this issue? I hope I’ve made everything clear what I’m working with. Thanks!
