Featured image option is not displaying in wordpress admin area

I am very new in wordpress. I have a wordpress site and now i need to add a featured image in my post. But i am not getting this option in back end. I don't know what is wrong. somebody please help me.Thanks

Solution 1

Add this code to the functions.php file of your theme:

// This theme uses post thumbnails
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

Solution 2

If you getting this type of issue again please goto wp-admin->add new post-> screen options. At the top of your page you see this screen option open it and check the value featured image if not checked. Now you see the option of featured image in your post page admin side.

Solution 3

Try This code inside functions.php file. This code will allow you to enable the featured image functionality inside pages. You can also pass custom post type name like ('page','post','custom_post_type_slug'). Hope this will help.

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails',array('page'));
