Hello,
I have the same problem at the moment...

Thanks

[MeonValleyWeb]

Any news on completion date?

[tw2113]

Nope, not at the moment.

[streiten]

same here... any ideas for workarounds anyone ?

[streiten]

works for me now. make sure to use get_the_post_thumbnail() to retrieve it. looks like the_post_thumbnail() and has_post_thumbnail() don't work here. also had to hack in/fork for different thumb sizes as my themes thumb sizes and 'full' didn't work...

[tw2113]

@streiten what changes did you make and to which file?

[streiten]

@tw2113 actually after revising my code i didn't change anything in the plugin code. in my theme's function im hooking in the sitewide_tags_thumb_size to define which thumbnail size markup should be stored (and later on retrieved) with the duplcated post. if you have a look here and in the post_meta table for key "thumbnail_etc" and similiar this gets more clear.

// define thumbsizes for aggregating blog posts  
function sitewide_tags_thumb_size_cb( $array ) {  
    return array('full');  
}
add_filter( 'sitewide_tags_thumb_size', 'sitewide_tags_thumb_size_cb', 10, 3 );

for my theme itself i had to do the follwing changes to make it work:

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
  <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
    <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

to

<?php if ( !empty(get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'full'))) : ?>
  <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
    <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'full'); ?>

[tw2113]

Gotcha. Thanks for that explanation. :)

I have the same problem but unfortunately don't know how to change code. Is there an indication when this will be fixed in the plugin. I appreciate your great work!

[tw2113]

No timeframe I'm aware of, we're not actively working on the plugin as of late.

Hello,
I've also started using this plugin and am having the same problem with featured image.

Streiten, as well as changing the function file, could you tell me which file in the theme you changed this code?

for my theme itself i had to do the follwing changes to make it work:

`

` to ` ID,'full'))) : ?> ID,'full'); ?> `

[streiten]

@PJSAnd totally depends on the theme you are using and how its template files are structured. could also be nested in a function. for twentysixteen this would be twentysixteen_post_thumbnail() in inc/template-tags.php for example.

[PJSAnd]

@streiten thanks. OK, I'm no techie and I'm not using twentysixteen...are you able to tell which file to edit from viewing the page via firefox? My test page is at nisekotravel.com - any chance you could have a look

[streiten]

@PJSAnd no, you can not really find it from looking at the website/markup. looks like a custom theme - contact the theme developer. also the conversation getting a bit offtopic now... :-)
