 * Hi,
    I’ve installed latest version of wordpress and tried to create custom post
   type with thumbnail support:
 *     ```
       protected function _applyCustomPostTypes() {
               add_action( 'init', array($this, 'customPostMedia') );
           }
   
           public function customPostMedia() {
               register_post_type( 'custom-media',
                   array(
                       'labels' => array(
                           'name' => __( 'Media' ),
                           'singular_name' => __( 'Media' )
                       ),
                       'public' => true,
                       'has_archive' => true,
                       'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'custom-media'),
                       'supports' => array(
                           'title','editor','thumbnail'
                       )
   
                   )
               );
           }
       ```
   
 * No thumbnail box is shown in add/edit post page for this post type in admin.
 * How can I add this support ?
 * Best

 * Hello [@wojkam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wojkam/),
 * you might want to check if your theme supports post thumbnails. If not you can
   enable it like so:
 * `add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );` in functions.php
