  return new Post
  {
    PostType = type,
    Title = title,
    Body = body,
    Categories = categories,
    Tags = tags,
    DateCreated = dateCreated,
    CustomFields = customFields
  };

as you see its commented. I tried everything to post thumb images.

I’ve tried post_thumbnail, post-thumbnail, post-thumbnails, thumbnail keys but nothing happen.

How can i do that?

  1. Assuming the thumbnail is already uploaded, and you know its media id,

    Value = id_of_uploaded_thumbnail
    

    should work.
