featured images not showing

  • Resolved Wendy Garrity

    10 years ago

    I have a site hosted by Bluehost, using a Twenty-Eleven child theme.

    I had all my featured images set for most of my posts a couple of weeks ago, but now they are not showing. I always use Chrome as my browser.

    I can still see all the featured images in my list of posts from my dashboard (I see them because Quick Featured Image plugin allows them to show there – love it!)

    In the edit function for a single post, the featured image is showing at bottom right too.

    I re-set that feature image, saved the post, cleared the cache and viewed that post, but the featured image still doesn’t show (it should be in the header)

    (Shareaholic still seems to pickup the featured images, though, and show them in the thumbnails for related posts.)

    The only tweaks in my child theme are font sizes & colours. The issue exists even if I activate the default Twenty-Eleven theme. And still exists when I return to my child theme.

    The only other changes I have made since I set all the featured images were to update my links using Velvet Blues, reinstall Shareaholic, and deactivate & reactivate all my plugins.

    The featured images should be large enough to show up, and many of them are already cropped to header dimensions.

    My site is textiletrails.com.au

    You can see how I want it to look at my old site textiletrails.wordpress.com

    Can you recommend how to fix this please?

    Hello Wendy, I can see the featured images both in the archives and in the posts.

    Are the featured images on posts all showing the pink fabric that I have on the Welcome page?

    Or are you seeing a different image for each category?

    Wendy, it is a bit difficult to understand what a featured image in your theme is. I am not sure anymore whether I have looked correctly.

    Is or should be the header image the featured image? What should be in the header on an archive page, e.g. a category page?

    If I look at a category page do I see featured images at each post teaser or the content images?

    Those appereances is up to the theme, not the plugin.

    In Twenty-Eleven, the featured images are displayed in a banner in the header, below the website title and above the drop-down menu.

    If a featured image is not set, then that banner image is the header image set in Appearances>header.

    If a feature image is set in an individual post, then that feature image should show in the header instead of the header image.

    That is a theme related topic, not the plugin’s. Someone should take a look into the code of your theme and correct it.

    As I can see in the section “You may also like:” the featured images seem to be set correctly.

    The only parts of the Twenty-Eleven theme’s code that has been changed for my Child Theme have been for fonts: size, colour & style.

    The issue occurs even if I am use the original Twenty-Eleven theme on my Bluehost -hosted site, but it is not occurring with Twenty-Eleven on my wordpress.com site. I would expect that the code would be the same for the theme no matter where it is hosted.

    The only differences I can think of are:

    1) host

    2) plugins

    When Bluehost migrated my site, I thought that the loss of the featured images was just one of those things they couldn’t migrate, and which I would need to reinstate. I was delighted to find your plugin to help me, and even happier to find I could sent my feature images for future posts.

    But after using QFI to reinstate all my featured images, I found they still didn’t show up, which is odd, since Shareaholic detects them and displays them in related content.

    Even re-setting a featured image manually in the visual editor didn’t work.

    I have deactivated all my plugins and reactivated them, but this didn’t help.

    I haven’t removed the QFI plug-in and then re-installed it because I’m guessing I will lose all the featured images I already set and have to re-do that work, which takes quite a while, even with the plugin to help.

    Perhaps I need to post over on Twenty-Eleven support and see if anyone has ideas.

    Found it!

    I deactivated all plugins again, and while they were all off, the featured images showed properly on both the parent and the child theme.

    I switched the plugins back on one by one. No problems with any plugin that I was using, including Jetpack.

    Then I followed the Jetpack prompt to connect to WordPress.com and the problem returned.

    I deactivated Jetpack, re-activated it, and sure enough, if I don’t connect Jetpack to WP.com, there is no issue.

    Thanks for your patience in helping me resolve this.

    Where is the best place to report this bug?
