Custom Post Type not displaying image. (How to Make a Website with Wordpress)

Custom Post Type not displaying image. I've tried deactivating and re-activating the two plugins from this lesson - but it's still not showing the images. All I see is the example Title, Description, and Price. No art is shown.

Hi.

Maybe you are missing this piece of code from functions.php

add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');

or you have to add "thumbnail" to post type like that: 'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail' ),

or add this to theme file: <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(); } ?>

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm very new to Wordpress. Would I add this code by going to Appearance / Editor / then clicking on Page Template(page.php)? 'm not sure how to find functions.php

Thanks for your time!

Hi Stanley,

I had this problem too. it turns out that when I set up the Image type in the Custom Field Types that I had selected the default of Return Value = Image Object when it should have been = Image URL.

Once I did this the images displayed as expected.
