I understand. I actually figured out how to do it. I think I simply copied the code from the single listing file to the main directory. Here’s what I have now: https://contemplationcenter.org/places/

FYI I believe there is a conflict with images uploading as featured with the WP to Twitter plugin as well.

@matija, Ah, well you may try deleting it from WordPress (as that erases saved data as well that deleting from ftp does not) and see if that corrects the problem.

Alright, I finally figured out that it was a conflict with the Jetpack plugin that was causing the sporadic issue. Do you have Jetpack installed, Matija?

It would appear that I declared victory over this issue prematurely.

It’s rather odd. It seems as though it is saving the posted content as some sort of cacge. A user can publish their post, which hasn’t attached the image as featured as the plugin is set to do, and there is no success message, although the text of the post has been published. Then, if they navigate to other pages and return to the page where I have the publishing form, their published content is till in the form. If I delete the cache in my browser, it then functions perfectly with the featured image being attached as it should.

Deleted plugins, done what I can, now I’m a bit stuck. I’ll keep at it and let you all know if I find a solution ??

I understand. I actually just figured out the issue and it seems to be working perfectly now. I believe a function I was using to hide the form from logged out users was interfering with attaching the image to posts (although as Matija Erceg said, it would attach the image sometimes but not others, which is a bit odd).

The function I was using created a shortcode that I placed around the (ex. [members][user-submitted-posts][/member]) shortcode to hide from logged out users.

I have simply deleted that function from my functions.php file and now simply use <?php if (is_user_logged_in() ) { //only logged in user can see this ?> <?php } ?> to hide from logged out visitors and it seems to be attaching image as featured every time now.

This is such a wonderful plugin and the easiest one I have found for my purposes on my website. Thank you!

Perhaps this information will help others experiencing this issue.

I am having this same issue.
