No Featured Image Option on Arclite Theme

That theme is not available via https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/

Where did you download it from?

Yes , I download it from https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/ but there is no featured image option in this theme . Is there any way to activate or Add this option ?

I’ve just search the theme Theme Repository and couldn’t find it. can you post the download url here, please? If it’s an old theme, it may not be accessible via a theme search.

Sure , Here is the URL https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/arclite . I also tried the updated version – https://digitalnature.eu/themes/arclite/

As I suspected, the theme hasn’t been updated in more than 3 years – which means there is going to be a lot of basic WordPress functionality that it won’t support. This problem is only going to get worse as time passes, so unless you’re keen to roll your sleeves up and dive into some theme development, you really would be far better off using another theme.

Version 2.03 is available on the developer’s website as a .zip, if you’re interested. Still only officially supports WP up to 3.3, I believe, but I’m using featured images on my theme. Even if the article itself doesn’t have a picture, the featured image I choose from within the article shows up on my custom layout on the front page, so I know it’s working.

I use WP 3.5.1 currently.

Strangely, after posting my comment about featured images still working, the feature is now missing from my setup.

I haven’t updated WordPress or the theme, since I already have the latest version of both. Currently investigating what is going on. Is there standard code or a documentation page detailing how to add featured images (properly)?

If so I’ll modify my theme ??
