    Hi,

    I have created a listing custom post type with various custom fields including an image upload field for the featured image. It used to work before, but whenever I try to add a new listing or update an existing one now by uploading a new image, it says: "Please correct the errors highlighted below and try again.".

    When I don't try to upload a new image, I can save the listing. Any help on this issue is highly appreciated!

    Console:

    jquery.min.js?ver=3.6.0:2 Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #
    at se.error (jquery.min.js?ver=3.6.0:2:13639)

    Hi,

    Can you please share the page URL that has the frontend submission form? You can also try to deactivate all plugins except Meta Box, MB extensions and switch to the standard theme of WordPress (2022) and recheck this issue.

    Hi,

    Is there a way to send the page URL privately?

    I have just deactivated all plugins except for Meta Box and Meta Box AIO and also changed the theme to the default 2022 WordPress theme. However, the issue still exists.

    Best,

    Hi,

    You are using the validation extension to validate the extension of the image uploaded. But this rule only works with two field types file and image while your field type is image_upload. I've changed the field Featured Image to the type image then I can upload the image and submit the form as well.

    Please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/validation/

    Another follow-up question: I have removed the field validation and changed the field type to "Image Upload". The design of the field type looks so much better. 🙂

    The image upload is working now! For the ID field, I tried _thumbnail_id and _thumbnail_id2, but unfortunately the uploaded image is not set as a featured image. Do you have any idea what the problem could be? You can test it at ourdomain/port/.

    Hi,

    Did you already have a chance to look at the featured image issue?

    Hi Stefan,

    If you want to set the featured image by the custom field, please use the field type single_image. It saves one image ID to the database like the featured image of WordPress, the data saved of the field type image_upload is different.
    Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/single-image/
    https://docs.metabox.io/fields/image-upload/

    Hi Long Ngyuen,

    Ok, I will use the single_image field type then. 🙂

    When I click on the "Add Media" button, nothing happens, but I get the following error message in the console:

    Do you have any idea why the issue occurs?

    Hi,

    After using the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/
    to enable the troubleshooting mode (deactivate all plugins except Meta Box, MB AIO) and I can set the image for the field single_image as well. So it could be a conflicting issue with another plugin. You can try to deactivate all plugins except Meta Box, MB AIO then activate them one by one to find the culprit.

    Hi Long Nguyen,

    After I removed the ConvertBox script from our website, the image upload via the single_image field works again. However, this image is still not set as a featured image.

    I am storing the data in a custom table. Could this be the reason why it is not working? If so, how can I fix this problem?

    It would be great if you could add a checkbox to the UI for the featured image. That would make the whole process much easier.

    Best,
    Stefan

    Hello Stefan

    It is not possible to replace the featured image of the post if you save the custom field value to the custom table. Because the featured image of the post has the ID _thumbnail_id and save value to the default table of WordPress wp_postmeta.

    You can save the field value to the default table instead of the custom table and see if it works.
