Worked Well 6 Months Ago, No More

I’ve used this plugin on several education sites where I syndicate in student blog posts with Feed WordPress via their blogs RSS Feeds. This plugin worked well before for creating featured images from the first images in the syndicated posts (a copy of each post is saved to the aggregating site).

Alas, on creating a new aggregating site, this plugin no longer seems to be able to do this, and I can see the last few months of my previous site the syndicated images lack the featured images this plugin once generated.
