# Featured Image Error -1

 * Hi there,
 * I don’t usually post anything since I find the solutions in similar Topics here
   but I haven’t found anything about this yet and it’s driving my client nuts (
   not me, actually).
 * Apparently when I select a picture I upload as a featured image WordPress won’t
   do anything it just displays a -1 in the Featured Image Box (it’s in spanish 
   but is actually the same) see pic:
    [http://cl.ly/3b0G3l211K3q3o2x3Y2I](http://cl.ly/3b0G3l211K3q3o2x3Y2I)
 * When i try to obtain the image using the function get_post_thumbnail it won’t
   get it. The image is uploaded and everything is ok but apparently it just won’t
   work.
 * By now I’ve tried replacing the WordPress files (reuploading WordPress) and deactivating
   all plug ins as well as trying to use it on different post types (currently there
   are 2 as well as normal posts) with no luck.
 * Any of you has an idea about it?

 * Problem solved. I will explain why it happened and how to solve it if you find
   yourself in the same trouble:
 * I was using [this](http://deluxeblogtips.com/taxonomy-meta-script-for-wordpress/)
   framework for taxonomy metadada. Even though it is an awesome code, it has a 
   function that causes trouble: check_field_wysiwyg()
 * The thing is that it is enqueueing jQuery everywhere it finds a WYSIWYG textarea
   and that includes the “Add Post” area. This causes trouble passing the ID of 
   the images to the Featured Image Area on WP, so it saves just “-1”.
    Just comment
   the wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’); line on the code and everything should be going
   on just OK!
