Title: Feature image module is missing Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Feature image module is missing * [contwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contwp/) * (@contwp) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/) * Hello, This is the first time I use wordpress, and everything is perfect except I can’t add a thumbnail image to my posts… I can add a image to the post content, but in the list, where all the posts are shown, it display the intro text and a blank square with the “noimage” text. I have searched online and found out that this image is called feature image, but my install of wordpress (3.0) has noo such thing… In the admin pannel, I have no feature image module, I saw on a tutorial that it should be in the middle-lower right, under the Post tags module, but I don’t have it there… Neighter under the Screen Options tab I don’t have a feature image option to check. Allso, when I upload/select from media a photo, I have all the options in the pop-up except to set it as feature image. Can please someone help me?

Someone who knows about this please answer… * I have been using wordpress for 2 yrs and I had been using the featured image module earlier..now this module is no where to be seen in the edit post/edit page mode. * i use wordpress 3.0.1, just in case that matters. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587882) * 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 2010 theme to rule out any theme-specific problems? * [basku](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bha100710/) * (@bha100710) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587883) * Thanks esmi for replying..but disabling plugins or changing theme did not work for me. * Any one could please help ? * [zammi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zammi/) * (@zammi) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587885) * I am having the same problem using v3.0.1: the featured image module has completely disappeared. It does not show up on the editor or media page. It does not even show up as a checkbox option under screen options for posts. * It is missing in action. I too tried deactivating plugins and changing themes to no avail. * Has anybody figured out how to fix this issue? * [Stubborn_Facts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stubborn_facts/) * (@stubborn_facts) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587890) * I think this is an issue with particular themes that have not yet had full recoding compatible with WordPress 3.0, although it could be even going back to 2.9.2. * I started using Antisnews very soon after the 3.0 upgrade so I don’t know how it handled the thumbnails prior to that version. * I noticed when I installed the theme, the “Featured Image” option was available, but it suddenly vanished within a day or two. * To work around this issue, I have attempted to install virtually every image plugin compatible with 3.0 to no avail. * The best one I saw, in that it actually puts that Featured Image option back in the image uploader and the sidebar of the post editor is Get The Image. * Unfortunately, the plugin is not able to over ride whatever the Antisnews theme is dictating because when I have multiple images in a post, my Featured Image selection is being ignored. * But one of the many images plugins MAY work for someone else, particularly Get The Image since it does put the option back in the install. * Anyone else have any other ideas? * [wernerm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wernerm/) * (@wernerm) * [15 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587892) * This is sometimes caused by a plugin (not a theme, a plugin) that calls _add\ _theme\_support()_ somewhere in its code. * A few of the custom post tutorials and examples out there shows example code that includes a call to _add\_theme\_support()_, hence a few custom post plugins will probably contain that call. * _add\_theme\_support()_ might cause conflict, since it’s is actually designed( or intended) to be called from a theme’s _functions.php_ file. (See [add_theme_support](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_support) docs). * Removing such plugins might (will probably) fix the problem. Also try logging out and back in, after disabling all plugins. * [optimist7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimist7/) * (@optimist7) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587900) * I solved this by adding the following into functions.php: `add_theme_support(' post-thumbnails' );` * [beleza.biz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/belezabiz/) * (@belezabiz) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587916) * hi there just to let you know you most likely do not have to hack this.. * what happens is when you upgrade to multisite, or new wordpress… you have to enable images uploads under network settings for that module to be available to the individual sites, or the main site. * so you could have featured image turned off on one multisite, but available on your main one. * just enable image uploads and it will show up. * -ze * _____________________________ BELEZA ARTS RIO [http://www.beleza.biz](http://www.beleza.biz) * [findlaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/findlaw/) * (@findlaw) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587917) * Hi optimist7, please where in functions.php * add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ ); * I’m having the same problem Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Feature image module is missing’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [feature image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/feature-image/) * [missing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/missing/) * [problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/problem/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 9 replies * 9 participants * Last reply from: [findlaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/findlaw/) * Last activity: [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/feature-image-module-is-missing/#post-1587917) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
