Bug in Set Featured Image on Pages – Theme Alley Thea

Good Day,

I am a new poster.

Writing to ask you help about the following:

Set featured image on pages.

I am using WP 3.6.1 (most updated version as of Friday Sept 13, 2013) and Theme Alley’s Thea.

I go to Pages -> Edit and on the lower right there is set or remove featured image.

I’ve tried a number of jpgs. They upload to WP. I click them. A check box appears. The photo then shows up in the lower right as being the “featured image.” I’m invited to “see how it looks” on my page – so I click that and no featured image appears. Is this a bug with Theme Alley’s Thea or am I missing steps?

Interesting twist to this story:

The closest I got to having a “feature Image” actually show up on the live pages was to try the above steps with the WP theme 2013. I was able to get one photo to show up on one page. When I changed theme to Thea, that photo was still set as the “featured image” both on the lower left of the edit screen, and on the actual viewable page.

However, while the photo did show up on Thea the page also had the message “The information you are looking for is not here” and the first of about six text widgets I’d set to appear in a right panel was not visible. I had six text widgets and the text in the boxes was numbered 1. To 6. One number per box.

So the Featured photo showed up in Thea, but text widget 1 was missing and the error message mentioned above was present. I had to remove the featured image from that page to get rid of the error message and view the text widget 1.

I proceeded to drag jpgs into the pages, but it doesn’t have the same professional look as the one featured image upload that had worked (except for the “the information you are looking for is not here” – that didn’t look professional.)
