Can someone help me debug this. I'm not getting the featured image section in my post type.

Custom Post Type UI changed a little since the course has been made. Now you need to go to the 'CPT UI' section on your admin panel and select: 'Add/Edit Post Types'. Then select 'Edit Post Types' Tab and scroll down to the bottom of that page. Now you need to select 'Featured Image' checkbox on the right-hand side. Lastly go to the top again and click the 'Save Post Type' button.
Now the featured image section should've been visible again.
I'll hope this will help you and it's not too late ;)

5,592 PointsThanks Manuel, The issue was actually that the CPT field plugin was setting the field name to images_ and I had it coded as images.

12,739 PointsWhy do you need an extra field for this featured image? Normally if you setup CPT plugin correctly it will show you the featured image section automatically. Maybe I just don't understand what you mean with 'images_'.
But I can use the featured image by using the WordPress function the_post_thumbnail('large');
I don't need the Advanced custom field plugin to handle this because it's integrated in WordPress automatically.

5,592 PointsSorry Manuel Schulze, I didn't explain this clearly in the question because I didn't know what was going on. The issue was actually in the single-porfolio.php template. In order to display the image we use the Custom fields plugin specific function php the_field(); Here you pass a parameter of the field name given by the plugin in order to display it.
I was passing it a parameter of "images" as I saw in the video, but then when I took a look in the plugin UI. I saw that it was giving my images field a field name of "images_".
I hope that explains it.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsThis answer was very helpful to me just now. I just wanted to add though after experimenting I found that you do still need the php code in the functions.php file. Just to reinforce this... :)
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
