Featured Image not working in 3.2.1 (7 posts)

    Ever since updating it seems my featured image pane doesn't show up. There isn't even the option for it in the screen options panel on the edit pages. However when I upload a new image, I DO see the "set as featured image" link in the thick box.

    This is installed as a network site.

    Click Screen Options in any Edit Post or Edit Page and ensure that Post Thumbs is checked.

    My apologies. I was thinking of another edit post pane. Have you tried:

    - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    - switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    I had this problem too. It was a theme issue. Featured image works if the theme has post-thumbnail support.

    Add this line to your theme's functions.php file:
    add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');

    In existing posts this did not work completely* but for new posts it did.
    *(could be due to the Get-the-image plugin I have installed)

    I was having this issue and after about half an hour of searching found the resolve to my problem in this post.

    You need to go into the Network Admin > Network Settings, then scroll to the bottom and make sure that Images is checked off as an allowed upload type.

    Once that is done, Featured Images will work.
