Post thumbnail (featured image) not displaying

    I’m hoping an admin may recognize what the issue is. I have 2 custom queries in the theme I built for recent posts, plus I added support for post-thumbnails in my functions file but they are not displaying. I used the plugin to migrate my live site down to my localhost project folder which is setup using XAMPP.

    I was watching a video on how to use the plugin and I first used git clone to pull my theme down into the themes folder. But then all the files got replaced once the plugin worked, so I had to delete the folder and use git clone again. I don’t think that is relevant but I wanted to share that detail.

    Anyway, the featured image (post-thumbnail) does not display in the recent posts cars I have on the home page, at the bottom of my posts, on the main blog page or in the actual blog posts. Here is an interesting point: I went into one of my posts because I noticed the featured images missing. The featured image link was in the editor at the bottom with a link to add a featured image. I clicked it, selected the image from the library but it was not added. I think the link was still there to add it so I clicked it again and then it went away???

    The link above is to my Home page and the recent posts cards are at the bottom.

    What creates that behavior? The link to set the image was there and then it disappeared. Everything looks good except for that feature: add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @kernix

    It is recommended that you try another migration in the following conditions:

    1. Make sure the destination site is a fresh WordPress install.
    2. Make sure the versions of PHP, MySQL and WordPress are the same on both sites.
    3. Make sure the restore process completes with a successful message.

    If the issue persists after that, then could you please send us a debug zip of the destination site to contact(at)wpvivid.com to help troubleshoot the issue? You can download the debug zip from the plugin’s Debug tab on the target site. And please also include the url of this thread so we can track all the information posted here.

    All the best,

    What do you mean “fresh install”? Is deleting my theme and just leaving the default WP themes enough?

    As for the WP, PHP, and SQL versions, WP is the same version on the live site and localhost (6.1.1), but the PHP and SQL is higher in XAMPP (from Site Health):

    
LIVE SITE PHP      version	7.4.33 (Supports 64bit values)
LOCALHOST/XAMPP PHP version	8.1.12 (Supports 64bit values)

LIVE SITE Database:       Server version	10.3.36-MariaDB-cll-lve
LOCALHOST/XAMPP Database: Server version	10.4.27-MariaDB

LIVE SITE Database:       Client version	mysqlnd 7.4.33
LOCALHOST/XAMPP Database: Client version	mysqlnd 8.1.12

    How would I lower the settings for XAMPP because I do not think I can (or should) change the settings in my A2 hosting cPanel?

    I did another WP install and this time waited until it logged me out – it worked! All good now. Thanks for the help.
