Featured image

I used to be able to add a Featured Image to my posts but recently this has no longer been working for me.
Here are 2 recent posts. http://www.mtwellingtonhistory.com/?cat=12 One of these (Fairy Gorge) has a Next Gen featured image applied which does not show up. The other (Ridgeway) does not have a featured image applied.
In the past I was able to add NextGen featured images correctly as is visible on posts such as this one: http://www.mtwellingtonhistory.com/?p=330. So I know there’s nothing wrong with the plugin or with WordPress, but something is working differently from last time I used this feature. Whether it’s me or the plugin I am not sure … I have tried several different times and on different days.
As well as not showing up in the actual post, the featured image also does not show up in the admin version of that post’s page.
Thank you

@mgrist – Do you recall what version of NextGEN Gallery you were using when this last worked as expected? I suspect this may be a theme issue and how it integrates the NextGEN Featured Image more so than anything else and may be a case where the theme author may need to look at this as well.

Thanks!

Hi Cais, thanks so much for your quick reply. No I am very sorry I don’t recall which version of NextGEN I was using. But the date of the last published post which works is January 2017. My theme is Catch Adaptive Pro and I am using a child version. I checked and there is a small update (2.4.1 up from 2.4) which I have just applied. I refreshed the pages and the featured image is still not showing. I guess the next step would be for me to approach the Catch team, would that be right? Thank you

UPDATE. I found that the images I put in using the normal WP post edit interface were not present in the ngg_featured folder. So I am in the process of manually FTP’ing them into the ngg_featured folder. This appears to be a workaround that is actually doing the job. A bit klunky tho’. 😉

@mgrist – I’m happy to read you found a work-around. It does seem to be some sort of theme integration although I am not familiar with the Catch Adaptive Pro code to know what might be “missing” causing you to need to work around this issue as you are describing.

Thanks!

– Cais.
