Twenty Twelve: show featured images single page view

[tomontoast]

Twenty Twelve theme is reporting featured images can be used on pages which is not the case. Users can add featured images to pages but these don't show up in the theme as the user would expect.

See support thread ​http://wordpress.org/support/topic/2012-featured-image-not-showing-in-body-of-page-or-post?replies=17

The patch is a simple change in the functions file from

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

to

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post' ) );

I would think they should work on Pages as well as Posts.

show featured image on pages

Very interesting, nice catch!

From the inline documentation in current_theme_supports():

If no array was passed, then any type is accepted

I agree with MikeHansenMe, it should work also on pages. I'm not sure whether we want to restrict it to post and pages, though.

I agree, users expect featured images to work on pages as they did in twenty eleven.

What types of page other than posts and pages would you want featured images to work on?

New patch that leaves support open for other post types

Two featured images in the case a page has a featured image *and* it's set to front static page, *and* it's using the Front Page Template.
