File Gallery Disables Featured Image in Custom Post Type

  • I’ve discovered that when File Gallery is activated, it disables the Featured Image on custom post types. The Featured Image meta box is visible on Editor pages, but after adding the image via the popup, nothing happens. This bug goes away when File Gallery is deactivated.

    The bug does not effect regular Pages and Posts.

    It does not matter whether File Gallery is applied to the custom post type in its settings.

    The custom post type looks like this:

    // FRONT PAGE HEADER/BANNER
	register_post_type(
		  'slideshow', array(
			  'labels' => array(
				  'name' => 'Slideshow Images',
				  'singular_name' => 'Slideshow',
				  'add_new' => 'Add new Slideshow Image',
				  'add_new_item' => 'Add new Slideshow Image',
				  'new_item' => 'New Slideshow Image',
				  'view_item' => 'View Slideshows',
				  'edit_item' => 'Edit Slideshow',
				  'not_found' =>  __('No Slideshows found'),
				  'not_found_in_trash' => __('No Slideshows found in Trash')
			  ),
			  'public' => true,
			  'publicly_queryable' => true,
			  'show_ui' => true,
			  'query_var' => true,
			  'rewrite' => true,
			  'capability_type' => 'post',
			  'exclude_from_search' => false,
			  'hierarchical' => false,
			  'menu_position' => null,
			  'supports' => array('title', 'thumbnail')
		 )
	  );

    Any ideas?

    I found the problem: The “Editor” field was disabled in this post type. Apparently, no Editor, no Featured Image if File Gallery is installed.

    'supports' => array('title', 'thumbnail')
    'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')

    @elliot Toman: could you please tell me which version of WordPress are you using, and which theme?

    I’ve just tried it out locally with WP 3.8 and Twenty Fourteen theme and I can’t reproduce the bug.

    I used your code to create the custom post type, then created a new slideshow image post, clicked on “set featured image”, uploaded an image and selected it as featured.

    Thanks for reporting it!

    I can confirm that I got this same error with WordPress 3.8 and a custom theme.

    Enabling the editor fixed it, but this is not ideal since the editor is extraneous for this custom post type.
