Featured Image not showing despite of activating it in CPT UI.

Hi,

I'm trying to display the featured image field in the portfolio section. I activated it in my functions.php file, but it didn't show up. So I tried to activate the "Featured Image" in the Settings section of my Custom Post Type. After activation, I can set a featured image, but my Title and Editor fields are hidden. Only the Link field is shows. I also ticked everything under Screen Options in my Portfolio Editor.

Can somebody explain this behaviour to me?

PS: I "fixed" it with a workaround:

  1. I ticked Title, Editor and Featured image in my CPT UI plugin
  2. I created a Custom Field with only the Link box (no items for showing selected).

But it still bugs me why it does not work like in the video.

For anyone that is still looking for an answer, mine worked after doing the following:

  • CPT UI - edit post type (don't forget to actually press select portfolio'
  • than go to settings, scroll all the way down
  • select all at supports and edit.

Hope it helps anyone out :).

Wish I could give a +10 for the excellent find on this buried treasure. The "actually press" part IS important to get things set up right, plus there's that second scroll bar that reveals the "Supports" checkboxes and other settings.
