Hi,
I added the field for the Featured Image using the ID _thumbnail_id and everything works properl. When I translate the post using the WMPL plugin, that Feauted Image field disappears completely from metabox.

Default language post: https://tppr.me/1s75L
Translated post: https://tppr.me/k7Ukn

Do you have any idea of what might be causing the problem and how to solve it?

Thank you!

That's because WPML made a unique new page for each translation, so you need to choose post metas twise.

Thank you @Jackky for your help! That's correct.

@David: Please take a look at media translation guide from WPML. Make sure you enable this feature. It allows using the same media files in content in different languages.

Hi Anh, and thanks Jackky for your help!
I added the WPML Media plugin, but the field with "_thumbnail_id" is not yet displayed in the translated post. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
D

Hmm, does that work if you remove the field and use WordPress featured image instead?

Hi,
I also have a problem with featured image field.
I would like to display a default Featured Image if the Featured Image doesnt't exists.
Is it possible to do that with MB Views ?
I mean, a way to do this :

If Featured Image exists then ... else display <img src="{{ post.thumbnail.thumbnail.url }}

thx for your precious help !
Oliver

Oh I found the answer;)
```
{% if post.thumbnail.full %}
    <img src="{{ post.thumbnail.full.url }}" />
{% else %}
    <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/800x100" />
{% endif %}
```
