featured image metabox not showing on the default post types edit page

By default post types “post” and “page” do have support for featured image meta box. You don’t need to add some thing in function.php for that. This might be happening due to some plugin confliction.

I would suggest try deactivating your plugins one by one and check if it gets back.
