 * Everything works expect for when I click on the thumbnail tab. When I press save
   the option un-selects again. Now the only thing showing is the view count and
   title. Somebody please help me.

 * Hi there!
 * From the [FAQ section](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/faq/):
 * > **I’m unable to activate the “Display post thumbnail” option. Why?**
   > Please check that either the ImageMagick or GD extension is installed and enabled

 * Since it’s been a week since OP’s last reply, I’m going to assume he managed 
   to fix the issue and so I’m marking this as _resolved_.

 * I am trying to resolve the same issue. I have installed the [ImageMagick Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/imagemagick-engine/)
   WordPress plugin, but it has not helped. Am I doing this wrong?

 * Hi [@ibhhvc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibhhvc/)!
 * From the description of that plugin, you still need either ImageMagick binary
   or Imagick PHP module installed on the server for it to work. Installing that
   plugin alone won’t enable ImageMagick.
 * Please, get in touch with your hosting and ask them to help you out with this.
