# Featured image missing

 * So my client’s website has a Blog and the ‘Featured’ image’ tab is missing. I’ve
   read some forums that suggested that this is caused by Yoast.
 * I switched off the Plugin and the ‘featured image’ tab appeared again.
 * Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
 * The website is built with Elementor and I’m using the Astra theme.

 * Hello Elmari,
 * I’m sorry to learn that the WordPress featured image tab is missing. Can you 
   please try the following:
 * 1. If you’re using a caching plugin, purge the site cache; you may also consider
   clearing the server cache too
    2. Does this happen if you try from a different
   browser, especially Mozilla Firefox 3. Does the issue occur if you switch to 
   a default WordPress theme such as Twenty Twenty?
 * Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The
   fastest way to rule out any conflict is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins
   and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Twenty](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/).
 * Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not,
   we recommend using the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which **does not affect normal
   visitors to your site**.
 * If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a
   step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: [How to check for plugin conflicts](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/)
 * If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your 
   issue, our [Yoast SEO Premium plugin](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/)
   comes with one year of (technical) support.
