Hello,
in the editor the Featured image is not shown at the top right of posts and portfolio items so it is unmanageable. Furthermore, there are broken theme messages even though I reinstalled the theme and in the other installation the same version does not create problems.
Error: Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a templates/index.html or index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet. Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.

enfold-child Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a templates/index.html or index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.As usual, thanks in advance for your help
AndreaJuly 14, 2025 at 6:05 am #1486720Hey cuccarini,
Thank you for the inquiry.
We can’t reproduce the issue with the featured image on our installation, so it’s possible that it’s caused by a plugin or a custom modification.
Regarding the enfold-child notice or warning, you need to add the template declaration at the very top of the style.css file.

Looks like you’ve made some css modifications and removed this part.

I agree that you can’t reproduce the issue with the featured image on our installation, In fact, on another site with the same version of enfold, the problem doesn’t occur.
As you suggested I tried removing all the plugins, but the problem persists. Also I reinstalled enfold, again without fixing the problem. Please, can you log in to the site and try to understand the underlying problem?Thanks again
AndreaJuly 15, 2025 at 6:32 am #1486783Hi,
Thank you for the update.
We checked the site, but we haven’t yet figured out why the featured image option is missing. Please try to clone the site to a staging environment, then provide the WP and FTP login details so we can investigate further.
Best regards,
IsmaelJuly 19, 2025 at 5:47 pm #1487018Hello,

Please let me know is there isa some news regarding the probem.Best regards

how are you? It’s been a while since we’ve been here.
As I initially wrote in the posts and portfolio items, the box for inserting the featured image that is then displayed in the portfolio galleries no longer exists; it’s vanished. In the following link, you’ll see a couple of examples of normal behavior and a couple of missing image boxes examples. I hope the problem is clearer now.
https://app.box.com/s/9b7kaej7d29der7vp67tbc3zvoivbi63I hope the problem is clearer now. In the current situation, I’m unable to change the featured images associated with posts and portfolio items, with the result that the portfolio gallery still contains the image from the initial portfolio item, from which I copied the images to design the other portfolio items.

I’d like to insert the correct images in every portfolio items, but I can’t!Thanks in advance for your help; so far, you’ve always solved everything!

July 20, 2025 at 1:27 pm #1487033Hi,
Thanks that helps, so your cloned site (and live site) shows errors for the core-data.min.js file
while I don’t see this on my test site, I also notice that your “action” menu is not responding:
I found that switching to the “classic editor” on your clone site solves.
I was able to add a Featured image (scroll to the bottom):
your other portfolio pages show a missing image, this may be due to its a cloned site:
nonetheless, it can now be changed, please try this.
I don’t know why changing to the “classic editor” solves, but give it a try.Best regards,
MikeJuly 22, 2025 at 8:30 pm #1487130Hi Mike,
As you suggested, I changed the block editor to the default one and replaced the duplicate featured images. Everything seemed to be fixed, but when I went back to edit the same portfolio items, I couldn’t save the changes because the same error occurred: Updating failed. Could not update the meta value of footnotes in database.
Interestingly, the same error appears in all the modified portfolio items, while everything works normally for the old portfolio items where I didn’t make the featured images replacement. Evidently, saving the featured images with the standard editor created a write to the DB that now interferes with the normal functioning of the block editor on those items or something like that.
I’ve never had problems like this on a website built with Enfold…. having to deal with problems one after another is not pleasant at all!
Best regards
AndreaJuly 24, 2025 at 6:13 am #1487177Hi,
Sorry for the troubles. We edited one of the portfolio items but we are not able to reproduce the issue — the item updated correctly after saving the featured image. Could you please provide a link to the portfolio item/s where you’re experiencing the issue? (see screenshot private field)
Best regards,
IsmaelJuly 24, 2025 at 5:28 pm #1487193Hello,
The problem is present in all the portfolio items on the following page, https://www.romacittaperta.com/sponsor/, all those with the “sponsor” category, in fact. I generated them by diplicate the following: https://www.romacittaperta.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=3504&action=edit and modifying it for each Sponsor. Finally, when I tried to change the featured player image used in the grid porffolio view of those page, the problems began.
Kind regards
AndreaJuly 27, 2025 at 1:52 pm #1487267Hi,
Thank you for your patience, I went to your sponsor page on your test site and changed the featured image for two more portfolio items:
Then I went back and changed them again:
I see that on your live site you are sill using the Block Editor, and “action” menu is not responding:
When I switched to the Classic Editor it solved on your live site, I was able to change the image:
I then switched the image back:
Note that the core-data.min.js file this is giving you errors is a part of the Block Editor (Gutenberg), I don’t know why, I don’t see this error on my site, perhaps it is a plugin conflict. I see that you have a plugin called: Database Manager – WP Adminer
Perhaps this corrupted the database?
I recommend using the Classic Editor.Best regards,
MikeJuly 28, 2025 at 6:29 pm #1487297Hello Mike,
I disabled more or less all plugins and tried to edit a portfolio item in the “sponsor” category with the AVIA editor, this time without errors. So it’s definitely a plugin interfering with the JavaScript of the block editor’s management function. there is some everride of function in core-data.min.js file of the Block Editor (Gutenberg),
I think your previous hypothesis was correct, this is the problem, now I can fix it.Thanks for your support, you can close the ticket.
