Enable Featured Image Support in Theme:

Some old themes do not support featured image and you have to add the functionality using the function.php located in your theme main folder.

• Login to your Dashboard then go to Appearance.
• Click on Editor and on the right sidebar click on functions.php file.
• At the end of the file place this code.

if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) )

{

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

}

Above code will add the functionality. If it does not exist. After that you have to add the functionality to your theme the post thumbnail size on which dimension WordPress  crop the images. Be Careful.
