 * The plugin breaks the ability to set a featured image. When I disable the plugin
   it starts working again…

 * dbrunsden,
 * Check the console in your web browser and see if you have any Javascript errors
   on the page; this could be caused by a conflict with another plugin or with your
   theme as well.

 * I have the same issue. I disabled all plugins. When AIOSEO is activated, console
   shows the error:
 *     ```
       event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.
       XHR finished loading: "http://website.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php". load-scripts.php?c=1&load%5B%5D=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,jquery-ui-core,thickbox,underscore…:5

 * This message continues to generate. De-activate and everything works as expected.

 * nashvillegeek,
 * Thanks for the report; I haven’t been able to reproduce this issue. If you’re
   using Chrome, what version of Chrome are you using, and could you test this in
   another browser for me as well?

 * I’ve isolated this down to a theme issue. Strange that it is only associated 
   with AIOSEO activation. I’ll post back if I figure it out. Thanks.

 * The issue for us is ‘add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’);’ was called after 
   theme setup. We changed the code as follows:
 *  // add_action(‘after_setup_theme’,’bones_theme_support’);
    bones_theme_support();
 * Featured images are functioning as expected.

 * nashvillegeek,
 * Nice catch, that makes sense. From the codex – “If called from a theme, it should
   be done in the theme’s functions.php file to work”. Thanks for tracking this 
   down!

 * Yeah, Eddie Machado’s Bones theme removed the add_action sometime back. The site
   in question was built prior to the update. I appreciate your timely responses.
