Hey there, sorry it took so long to reply. Usually I get notified when these are posted, but I didn’t for yours!
When you visit the edit page for an individual beer, there is a dropdown button in the top-right hand corner of the screen that reads “Screen Options”. Click on that. It expands a box that contains checkboxes that allow you to show and hide various elements on your edit page. Is the “Featured Image” checkbox checked? If not, check it and that should fix the issue. If it is checked, let me know and we’ll dig a little deeper.
HI no problem.
It doesn’t look like such an option “Featured Image” is available under “Screen Options”. I have options for :
SEO Settings
Excerpt
Slug
Beer Info
Brewery Info
Beer Styles
Pairings
Availability
Tags
Then Layout (1 or two columns)
And Additional Settings: Enable full height editor
Possibly linked observation: When I hit view post, I see the image (as stated before) BUT
there is also a message: [ERROR: No URL was passed to the generic video BBCode]
Try disabling your plugins one by one, and check to see if the image box shows up. Additionally, let me know if the [ERROR: No URL was passed to the generic video BBCode]
This will tell us which plugin is causing problems.
Some headway:
I kinda did an all-or-nothing approach and disabled all of them at the same time (except the beer lister). The error went away but no luck with the image appearing in the menu.
Then I saw they were all due for an update. So I updated them.
The error is still gone but the image only appears in the post, not the menu.
Looking closer at the post, I notice that the post has a funny format with redundancy:
It says “On Tap Now!”
_____________
Availability:
Description
Beer Info
Description AGAIN
Image
http://www.britishbrewpub.com/beers/bitter/
Regarding the redundancy:
What it is actually showing is this:
- On Tap Message
- Availability
- The beer excerpt
- Beer Info
- The complete beer text
- image
If you change the post excerpt, the first description will match that. This was intended to make it so that you can add a short description, and a long description to your beer. If you want to get rid of one of them, you can hide them with some CSS:
To remove the first description at the top, add this CSS to your theme’s CSS file:
.single-beers .ebl-primary-content blockquote{
display:none;
}
As for the images on your menu, follow these steps:
- Go to Menus>>>All Menus
- Click on the menu you want to modify
- Under the Beer Menu Settings box, Check “Show Beer Image”
- Click “Save”
Thank you for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, even with “Show Beer Image” checked in Menus, there’s no image in the menu.
And there is still no “Show Featured Image” checkbox in the Screen Options or on the edit page.
Hello there! I have just pushed a big update to Easy Beer Lister, and it has a lot of updates to the menu functionality. I’m not sure if you’re still using the plugin or not, but if you are, it may work better for you now.
Thanks!
