I love Pinboard! Thanks for creating such a beautiful, versatile theme! We’re using it as an ecommerce site to launch a small clothing company. I’m using JigoShop, which works perfectly except that I can’t add a Featured Image to my products.
I started with a different theme, so when I switch back to the old theme, I can update my products. When I return to Pinboard, they look great.
Once I bring the site live, that will no longer be a usable workaround for adding new products/images. Am I doing something wrong? If not, is there a way to modify the theme to support featured images for products?
Hi Alexander,
Your responses around the forum have been super helpful. I just want to check in and ask, am I trying to use the theme in an unintended way? Is there something about the slider’s sticky images that disables the other Featured Image functionality? Thanks so much for your help!

Thank
Solution:
// Add support for post thumbnails and custom image sizes specific to theme locations
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’, array(‘product’, ‘post’) );
No no,you don’t need that i see whats wrong 🙂
go to ‘messages’ click at the right upper corner ‘screen settings’ and tick ‘featured Image’
Mindscanner, This sounds like a wonderful and obvious solution. The only problem is, I don’t see “Messages” anywhere. Please forgive my ignorance, I’m new to this.
Are messages Posts? If so, Posts are already showing a Featured Image – the problem is with Products. Under New Product in Screen Options, there is no checkbox for Featured Images.
It just has Product Categories, Product Tags, Excerpt, Discussion, Slug, Product Data.
@MonkeyHill your problem have nothing to do with the theme but with your plugin update the plugin or maybe you can find a answere in the jigoshop forum http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jigoshop
located: pinboard / functions.php of your wp and edit.
use search:
thumbnailslocate this line:
add_theme_support (‘post-thumbnails’, array (‘Product’, ‘post’));
really only comes
add_theme_support (‘post-thumbnails’, array (‘post’));
Add ‘product’
depends on your language the name of their ‘producto’ ‘product’ etc.@lmfuster IT WORKED!! Thanks SO much!! And just in time – I plan to release the site on Monday 🙂
@mindscanner Jigoshop isn’t the issue because, when I switch themes, the Featured Image option appears on products – it’s only in Pinboard that it doesn’t appear.
