Widget option

Hi Maximmmus,

Thank you very much for reaching out, No, the plugin does not have a widget at this point in time.

If your template needs widget to display featured images, you might need to customize it for it to support featured images out of the box. Some templates need you to enable the featured image widget, and what generally happen in this case with the plugin is, it shows the featured image but the featured image is trapped in the widget of the template and you need to tweak this manually, it’s something you can fix mainly by tweaking or changing your template.

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.

The second question is not related to the widget option. The featured image is not coming in with the title and excerpt. Do you know how to fix this?
Thank you!

If your articles only come in with title and excerpt, then the plugin ddoesn’t even see the image, since they are not delivered with the post, so you have two options:

1- Make sure the posts coming in have the full post content with images inside.

2- Upgrade to the premium version to do this and if you only need the truncated excerpt with featured image, the premium version comes with an option to truncate the post, you can even decide how many words you’dyou’d like it to have. The premium upgrade is however not free.

Hi,

So you say if I want to have the featured image option, I need to add the full text upgrade which will cost $19/month? That’s too pricy!

Oh well, No.

What I’mI’m saying is, if your excerpt have no images from scratch, you will need to make sure they have images, the plugin needs to see an image tk be able to feature it, a way to do that would be to expand the feed and if you want the plugin to do this processing, you will need a premium key. You can use the plugin without a key also, so it’sit’s just about what you want to achieve.

This being said, I think $19/month for something providing this value , saving you several hours per Day IS insanely, insanely cheap, but of course, my opinion could be biased since I’m the author. ?? Thanks

I guess we say the same!? Without the key no featured image is displayed even if that is present in the excerpt. As this is the case in my situation.

Your plugin is well built I do not have a complaint about it;)
The upgrade has many other options which I do not need and for this reason the key is too expensive for a small site.
I will use your free version if I can make it work with my theme.

Sure thing, we will keep improving our business model as well making sure to find the perfect balance between the premium features and the non-premium features. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
