Can't set featured image for custom post-type

I don't know whats happening but suddenly some things started to disappear from the admin panel. I have a custom post type for ads and they have support for thumbnail, meaning:

'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail')

But today when i was trying to insert a new ad the featured image / thumbnail didn't show up so i could select an image from media. It's very strange.

I also can't see the image from previous ad's, but this only in the admin panel, they are perfectly ok in the "Front End".

Update -

I also tried to include this functions at some init hook and didn't work:

add_action( 'init', 'create_post_pub' );

function create_post_pub()
{
  // ....

    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'publicidade' ) );
    add_theme_support( 'thumbnail', array( 'post', 'publicidade' ) );


}

Thanks in advance!

do you have add_theme_support('post_thumbnails') in your theme's functions.php ? – Prince Singh
No, but i never had and it was ok. I also tried to put that in functions and didn't work. – Fabio
add this in a function and hook that function on init – Prince Singh
@wordpresser didn't work. I'll update my question and provide that information – Fabio

Solved.

I can't believe i spent so much time figuring this out, i thought it was a theme's problem sort of. My client ended up unchecking the "featured image" checkbox from the "screen options" at the top right corner.
