You’d put this in the template, something like loop.php, though I’m not familiar with this theme.

i contacted support for the theme and was told it does not have it built in.

so are you saying i would put
( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
}

in the loop.php file and that should do it?
