 * Hi
 * If didn’t have the “supports Featured Image” box selected when I created a Pod,
   because I imported it from another site. Even though I have enabled it now, the
   option doesn’t show up in the ‘create new Pod item’ admin screens. I have a lot
   of Pod items with featured images which I imported across from standard WP posts,
   and I want to add new Pod items with featured images.
 * If I create a new Pod from scratch with the “supports Featured Image” box selected,
   it works fine.
 * That is, the same as this guy has found – [https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/best-way-to-add-featured-image-support-for-pods-custom-post-types/](https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/best-way-to-add-featured-image-support-for-pods-custom-post-types/)
   
   I’m also using GeneratePress. Pods plugin, theme and WP are up-to-date with latest
   versions.
 * Thanks
    Clare

 * PS. I have also tried adding the following to my childtheme functions.php
 *     ```
       function theme_setup(){
       	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
       }
       add_action('after_setup_theme','theme_setup');
       ```

 * PPS. I disabled the REST API in the original Pod, and lo the Featured image panel
   appears in the classic-style editor.
    It’s not a GeneratePress thing, as the 
   same issue appears in the WP Twenty Twenty and Twenty Nineteen themes. So my 
   first post above is probably not a thing, and instead it appears to be a Gutenberg
   thing… grrr.

 * Hi [@nothroughroad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nothroughroad/)
    Not 
   sure I 100% follow your exact issue. For example, is it a Gutenberg related issue
   or not? Your comments say two different things. Could you please provide a clear
   description of your issue and provide the steps to reproduce so we can test and
   possibly fix it here? Cheers, Jory
