 * Hey Mark,
 * We chatted about three years ago on a Featured Image issue, and it was happening
   again recently so I wanted to bring it to your attention.
 * Below is the original thread, but the summary is I am using a ThemeFuse them 
   that does not use Featured Images, I have enabled it through the child theme 
   functions.php using:
 * `add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');`
 * Last time the issue was some code, listed below, in Team Rosters that was a conflict
   with Simple Staff List.
 * ‘add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘mstw_tr_add_feat_img’ );
    function mstw_tr_add_feat_img(){
   if ( function_exists( ‘add_theme_support’ ) ) add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’,
   array( ‘player’ ) ); }’
 * As the symptoms were exactly the same this time I checked the original thread
   and found the current version has this code again:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'mstw_tr_add_feat_img' );
        function mstw_tr_add_feat_img( ) {
       	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'mstw_tr_player' ) );
        }
       ```
   
 * Removing that code fixes the issue.
 * Here is our original thread:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-another-plugins-featured-image?replies=12](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-another-plugins-featured-image?replies=12)
 * Love the plugin, and thanks again. Also, this recent thread may be related.

 * Hey Mark,
 * Any thoughts on this issue? I am concerned about updates breaking it again.
 * Thanks!

 * Hey Razz,
    Thanks for the update. This issue has been bouncing around ever since
   you seemed to figure it out. The challenge is that if I remove the lines you 
   suggest, then the player photos won’t work at all in themes that do not have 
   post-thumbnails enabled. There seem to be a couple of other issues going on in
   some (“premium”) themes as well. As a result, I have tried a number of things,
   none of which seem to work “everywhere”. I think the dev trunk has some of them
   in there, and you might try it if you are in the mood to play around.
 * It remains unclear to me why this should break a theme. (It does not break the“
   standard” WP themes.) But whatevs. I am going to try to condition theme call (
   which I’d prefer not to make to begin with) and see what I can do (fix? break?).
 * Stay tuned.
    -Mark

 * Hey Razz,
    I just posted what I believe to be a fix to the development trunk.(
   Thanks to my man Pippin Williamson. Pippin’s Plugins rock, BTW.) If you would
   try it out and let me know, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. -Mark

 * Sure thing Mark. Whatever helps you. When you mention the Dev Trunk I assume 
   you me the current Development Version(svn) that is listed under Other Versions?
 * Do you want me to replace the whole the plugin folder or just the mstw-team-rosters.
   php file?
 * UPDATE: Never mind. I am just swapping the whole folder. I will let you know 
   the results.

 * Hey Mark,
 * First, thanks for all you do. Seriously mean that.
 * OK, So I downloaded the Development Version(svn), but in WP it does still show
   as 4.0.1. The code does look changed however and I like the look of your solution.
   I deleted the old plugin folder (after a backup to save my edited version) and
   uploaded the test version. As best as I can tell all is working OK. I have asked
   the people that really use the site to test it too and report back.
 * If I hear anything from them I will post back here. I am assuming the plugin 
   will update as needed still even though the Dev ver is installed, so I have a
   backup of my fix just in case your solution isn’t included in the next version.
 * Thanks Mark!

 * Well, this sounds promising. You only needed the one file. The version will not
   change (because it is not released). Please let me know what you here back from
   your users. If the solution works, it will be in the next version.
 * Thanks.

 * Hey Mark,
 * The Team answered back that they are seeing the same result, meaning it seems
   to be working as expected.
 * I / We are not Gold Support members. It’s a HS Football Team, so they’re non-
   profit. I actually am not part of the team, but I help as a favor for a friend
   when they need it with email or site updates etc. (I have a good deal of dev 
   experience, and I am an MCSE by trade) Your plugin was one of the first I used
   for them, and one of the rare occasions I have ever given a plugin a 5 star rating.
 * I did just donate to you, on their behalf. Thanks for your work in solving this
   man.
 * Razz
