Hi all,

I wonder to know how to add the featured image on the blog index. I searched for previous enquiries about that subject but not found an answer.

The forum page where to add the featured image: http://www.battlefield-france.com/beta/forum

Thanks for your help!

Add the following code to your functions.php

function forum_icons() {
	if ( 'forum' == get_post_type() ) {
		global $post;
	    if ( has_post_thumbnail($post->ID) )
	    	echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'thumbnail',array('class' => 'alignleft'));
	 }
}
add_action('bbp_theme_before_forum_title','forum_icons');

Hope it helps 😉

@yanseo thanks for the snippet. It works perfectly! Do you have any idea how i would change the code to add the thumbnail for sub forums instead?

The forum index looks something like:

PARENT FORUM
*sub-1
*sub-2
*sub-3

I attached a featured image to each sub forum. I would like those images to show where the asterisk is.

I tried changing the action in your code to ‘bbp_theme_before_sub_forums’ but it still spits out the thumbnail/featured image for the Parent category.

Any ideas?

I keep getting an error message when trying to upload a ‘featured image’ on the forum page..saying: “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.”

I cant seem to get it to work..

Anyone found a fix for this?

[@jimmmy Participant 10 years, 2 months ago]

Which part? Do you have the featured image showing on the parent? Client ended up ditching subforums, so not sure how i ended up solving this. If you can’t figure out the parent, i can try and find what i did…
