Unable to enable “Thumbnail Settings” functionality

    I have two installations of WordPress 4.5.3. One is using a theme developed by a third party for a client. In this theme, images uploaded do NOT have the “Thumbnail Settings” option available.

    This is what I’m getting:
    Missing thumbnail settings

    This is what I want and this works in another install of 4.5.3 with a default theme:
    thumbnail settings

    So I am under the impression this is a matter of a theme setting. How do I enable the Thumbnail Settings feature?

    Here is my Stack Exchange question: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/251677/7739

    I really do hope someone can respond to this. There doesn’t appear to be any real documentation on this issue.

    I’m really surprised no one could help me with this issue. I couldn’t even get an answer on Stack Exchange. I found what is likely the solution.

    I falsely presumed there could be a setting that needs to be changed in order to enable the “thumbnail settings” option. This is not apparently the case. What seems to be problem is two factors: WordPress 4.5.3 and GIFs.

    Wordpress 4.5.3 doesn’t have thumbnail settings enabled when you’re editing GIFs. That’s it. So the thumbnail settings work in 4.7. They work for GIFs in 4.7. Creating thumbnails for JPGs in 4.5.3 works.
