shouldn’t have. what about your user capabilities (Some role plugins like role scoper can do this), did you check your settings on EM?

I just checked the user capabilities. All of the boxes are checked for administrator. I am logged in as an admin. And, I deactivated every other plugin and I still get the same problem.
By the way I am running Events Manager 5.0.42 and WordPress 3.3.1 This might have started after my most recent WordPress update. Thoughts?
I’ve got pretty much the same issue but I haven’t had any featured image area at all. I just did a fresh install of EM. I have featured images enabled on pages and posts but not on EM. I added add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ ); to my functions.php but nothing changed.
I’m using the Progressio theme. Can’t stand it but I jumped into a project after it had started.
Other ideas?
It wouldn’t work for me to just add post thumbs to the ‘event’ post type in my functions.php
I had to go in my theme’s files and add in theme support for ‘event’ to fix it.
I dislike changing theme core files though, so to avoid that I went in my functions.php file and used remove_theme_support for all post thumbnails, then added them back in with ‘events’ included.
Problem solved on my end.
EM also tries adding post thumbnails, but since other themes/plugins may do this as well, it could override ours.

You were right. When I change my theme the Featured Images come back. I will do some work on my theme to get that back. Thanks

I have done some followup research, but still have not resolved this issue. I uninstalled the latest version Events Manager and re-installed an earlier version (5.41) and the featured images comes back.
Any installation after 5.41 removes the featured images section on the New Events page using my current theme. I know that this is a conflict between my current theme and Events Manager, but a conflict that only appears after 5.41
I notice on the changelog for 5.42 the following: “fixed add theme support for thumbnail function not firing early enough”. I am assuming that whatever was changed in 5.42 to address this issue is now causing an issue with my theme.
Anyone have an idea on how to make my theme compliant or Events Manager compliant?
Hi Scott, here’s what I added to my functions.php file to make it work for me:
remove_theme_support('post-thumbnails', array('post', 'page', 'portfolio', 'slideshow'));
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails', array('post', 'page', 'portfolio', 'slideshow', 'event'));
first I removed thumbnail support for all the “post types” my theme had enabled them for. then I re-enabled all the same types plus the ‘event’ type. to check what post types your theme has supporting thumbnails, you can either do a search across your theme’s files to find where it calls “add_theme_support” or just check all your post types from the dashboard and see which ones allow the featured image.
hope this works for you!

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried that and it didn’t change anything. hmmm? This one has me stumped. I’ll keep looking and if you think of anything else let me know.
Thanks
