Hi there,

Custom post types are not a current feature of Politico, but featured images are. When I visit your site, I can see the featured images are working in the slider as well as on the blog page. If the featured images are not working with a plugin-generated feature (i.e. custom post types, etc.), unfortunately that isn't something I have the ability to troubleshoot as it isn't a core feature of the theme.

Please let me know if you think I'm misunderstanding this issue.

Best,

Christopher

Sorry about the blank page, site is back up now.

These are absolutely not plugin generated issues. Again, the plugins work fine with the default theme, which suggests that something Politico does prevents core wordpress functionality (featured images) from working.

Hi there,

I visited the URL you provided, but it's just showing a blank page. Please double-check...

Please keep in mind support services do not include troubleshooting issues that are generated by plugins. I can appreciate that the plugins you're using work on different themes, but Politico is not guaranteed to work with all plugins. Unless there is an actual code issue with Politico (I don't see any existing issues), plugin-generated issues would need to be resolved with the plugin developers.

Best,

Christopher

I'm unable to set featured images within those two plugins mentioned. They each provide custom post types that use featured images. Turning off all plugins except each in question does not help (I need to leave one of the two on to test). Switching to Twenty Seventeen DOES resolve the problem.

So it seems as if something Politico does with featured images prevents these plugins from using featured images for custom post types.

Hi there,

Just to clarify, you're having issues setting featured images when all plugins are disabled? If so, can you please provide a link to your site?

Best,

Christopher

I am trying to use two different plugins that make use of custom post types, and featured images for said types:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-client-logo-carousel/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonial-rotator/

Setting featured images in both plugins is completely broken - they both behave erratically and do not ultimately let me set featured images on the posts.

Disabling all plugins does not help, but switching to Twenty Seventeen does, so it seems to be an issue with Politico.

Any ideas?
