I get an error saying the cover image is required

Written by Ronny Christensen

Problem

The form shows an error message saying the cover image is required, and the post cannot be saved.

Possible cause

Every blog post requires a cover image. It is not possible to save without one. The cover image must be uploaded via the upload area on the form.

Solution

  1. Click the cover image upload area.

  2. Select an image from your computer (JPEG, PNG, or GIF).

  3. Adjust the crop area to 16:9 in the crop tool, and confirm.

  4. Click Create post again.

If the problem persists, contact support and include details about:

  • The file format and size of the image you are trying to upload.

  • The error message shown.

  • When the issue occurred.
