# [Plugin: Custom Post Type UI] Post Thumbnail problem

 * Hey man,
 * Love the Plugin but I can’t seem to get it working with my featured image part.
   I have featured images enabled in my theme because I can set it on the post and
   it works fine but I’m not able to get in on the featured post page. My website
   is bigoak.betaforyourdomain.com. The custom post type in question is Galleries
   under photo galleries. I’m using the featured post image to show one image on
   from the different galleries. Any help would be great.

 * Never Figured this out. I decided to just use posts and post categories instead.
   If anyone figures out anything let me know.

 * Hello,
 * Basically I have the exact same problem : despite ticking the “Post thumbnail”
   box in the Custom Post settings, no Post thumbnail box shows on the Edit page.
 * I guess I’ll set a thumbnail through the custom fields, in the meanwhile. However,
   that’d be great if this would be fixed in the next plugin update.
 * Thanks !

 * I’m able to set a featured image on a custom post type created by the plugin.
   It shows just fine in the Featured Image meta box for the post type

 * if it doesn’t show, it means your theme does not support it. This is not a problem
   with Custom Post Types UI, but with YOUR theme.
 * check out the code that’s used in the TwentyTen theme and copy it to yours. To
   test it’s functionality, enable TwentyTen as your default active theme and edit
   the post again. You’ll see the featured image upload field appearing again.

 * Yes, It works for first created custom post type, but not working for second 
   added post type.
 * Can you check it please? Post the solution please.
