 * I was trying to put up my first post in a while. When I went to add a featured
   image, the option was gone. The editing panel just went straight from “Revisions”
   to “Categories.” Searched around but no sign.
 * Tried a few things recommended by Google but could not make it appear. After 
   a while, I came across a suggested work around: add a featured image block, upload
   your image, delete the block.
 * I followed those steps, but since I deleted the block I cannot change the image.
   The image is also still showing at the top of my post, which is unwanted. Please
   help.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffeatured-image-catastrophe%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
