Is the custom fields checkbox checked in the broadcast meta box?
Hm. Well, then the only way to figure out what’s going on would be with a broadcast debug dump.
Could you enable debug mode, broadcast the post to one blog and then send me the debug dump to look through?
Sure does.

2017-11-17 19:37:56.1510947476.85 ThreeWP_Broadcast: Handling post thumbnail for post 12003. Thumbnail ID is now 10318
From what I can see, the parent post has the featured image 10318.
On the child blog, an existing image with the ID 10318 is found.
So it should have the same featured image ID.
And it doesn’t work.
What happens if you delete image 10318 on the child and then rebroadcast the post? Does it get a new image ID and does the featured image start working?
So I just ran the test again because that image actually copied for some reason. This time the image didn’t copy. What’s the easiest way to find image ID 12838 (the new image that is missing) on the child site? No image populates the featured image field on the broadcast post.
Open your media library, open any image. See the image’s ID in the URL? Replace it with 12838. 🙂
Ah ok I did that and got the following message:
You attempted to edit an item that doesn’t exist. Perhaps it was deleted?

2017-11-17 20:10:08.1510949408.8 ThreeWP_Broadcast: Handling post thumbnail for post 12008. Thumbnail ID is now 12009
On the parent blog the thumbnail should be 12838.
On the child blog, the thumbnail should be 12009.
Where in the child blog are you seeing 12838?
Ah sorry I screwed that up. I do get something when I use ID 12009 but it isn’t a media page. It redirects me to this: http://opendigital.newost.wpengine.com/work/ms_secondary-1/
Could you paste in the text you can see in your broadcast meta box in the editor?
There should be a text about you using an incompatible plugin, name the post type switcher.
High enough role to link: yes
Post supports custom fields: yes
Post supports thumbnails: yes
High enough role to broadcast custom fields: yes
High enough role to broadcast taxonomies: yes
Blogs available to user: 2
Plugins that have hooked into save_post:
delete_get_calendar_cache
WpeCommon::purge_varnish_cache
RevSliderBaseAdmin::onSavePost
WPSEO_Primary_Term_Admin::save_primary_terms
WPSEO_Cornerstone::save_meta_value
WPSEO_Link_Watcher::save_post
levelup_category_transient_flusher
WPSEO_Post_Type_Sitemap_Provider::save_post
Vc_Post_Admin::save
threewp_broadcast\ThreeWP_Broadcast::nop
threewp_broadcast\ThreeWP_Broadcast::save_post
Nothing above that? Strange. It should be warning about that incompatible plugin.
The part about the incompatible plugin didn’t show up on the child site but it did on the parent site. Thank you, that seems to have solved the issue.
