After installing latest version, not able to set Featured Image and …

Hey there!

Sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with the latest version. The most likely explanation for this would be a plugin or theme that has not been updated to be compatible with WordPress’ latest version.

Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

Regarding the “Featured Image”, if you mean you can’t see the box to add a featured image to your post, in the Dashboard, when editing a post, click “Screen Options” in the upper-right-hand corner and make sure “Featured Images” is checked.
