    I’m just wondering which source I should use for the featured image URL. The URL format and image size varies depending on the source.

    For example, the images used in the amazon elements block have the following format: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/....

    I can also get the URL directly from the product page on the Amazon website by clicking on the main image which brings up a lightbox with the full sized image. I can then right-click and copy the image address. That URL has the following format: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/....

  • Easy.

    -Go amazon.com and find product
    -Go Sitestripe –> image, Select large image
    -Copy code to WORDPAD.
    -Extract the following area (in my example)

    //ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B08SL6F6YK&Format=_SL250_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=XXXXXXX-20&language=en_US

    -add a https: to the beginning of code.
    -paste the code where ever you like, including this plugin and wordpress image block etc.

    You can see may Adidas Superstar Review page, where many images are used by this method.

    Seems a bit more complicated doing it that way. It’s not an affiliate link so does it matter where you get the image URL from? I need larger images so I’ve been getting the URL directly from the product page.

    No, I don’t think so. You may get other images, from non-amazon sites. As long as your link starts with https://
