Why Can’t I Set a Featured Image in WordPress?

Featured images are a powerful way to show off your content on a website. When you create a featured image, WordPress automatically selects a high-quality image from your media library to use as your featured image.

However, you may sometimes find that you can’t set a featured image in WordPress. This can happen if the image you want to use isn’t available in your media library or if you don’t have the permissions to use it.

If you’re unable to set a featured image, you can still use other visual elements to represent your content. For example, you can use a featured image as part of a gallery or as the background image for a post or page.
