[Theme: twentytwelve] Featured Image not publishing to world

    First of all, I want to say how absolutely GREAT 3.5 and the 2012 theme are…this is a mind-blowing accomplishment, and I absolutely LOVE working with 3.5 and the 2012 theme. Hats off to all in the WordPress team!

    This is a new install, not an upgrade, using 3.5 twentytwelve 1.1. It’s a Multisite set-up; although I have multiple themes, this test uses the unaltered default theme only. I’m able to get a featured image, and have it show up inside the featured image meta box INSIDE a page I’m editing, I’m just not able to “publish” it to the world.

    I see checkboxes, but no option buttons in my set-up.

    What am I missing, or doing wrong?

    Here’s the CODEX pages I’m looking at for guidance:

    According to this page in CODEX, the theme has to support thumbnails
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Post_Thumbnails

    My functions file seems to be set up as necessary for the featured image–here’s a screenshot:

    I consulted THIS page in CODEX:
    https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/add_theme_support

    The relevant part from the CODEX is this:
    Multisite

    To show the “Featured Image” meta box in multisite installation, make sure you update the allowed upload file types, in Network Admin, Network Admin Settings SubPanel#Upload_Settings, Media upload buttons options. Default is off.

    Here is a screenshot of the Network Admin, Network Admin Subpanel Uploads Setting:

    Thanks again for any insights you may have.

  • As Twenty Twelve is the default WP 3.5 theme, any bugs can be reported in core Trac.
    https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/

    True that (I assumed it would not be appropriate place) ticket is https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/22943

    Thanks ??

    Using add_theme_support( $feature ); will tell wordpress what features the theme or plugin can support but this won’t update what the theme is actually able to do. To get featured images to work on a post you will need to edit the theme and add the_post_thumbnail();

    However you have led me to discover the bug in the 2012 theme it should have:

    add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array( ‘post’ ) );

    instead of

    add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );

    Once again, I am learning an incredible amount about WordPress because of the feedback provided.

    To the terrific team that works the WordPress forums, I just can’t say thankyou enough. Words don’t do it.

    So, you need to put in a “buy me a beer” link for the two of you! :-)Thanks again!

    I just applied the patch from the WP trac — I was hoping that would actually IMPLEMENT the featured image on posts — instead it just removed the option box. At least it’s not misleading anymore.

    I used to be able to set featured image’s on pages, now it doesn’t work anymore twenty eleven.
