Featured Image in Content

It will sound crazy, but some themes don't show the Featured Image on the posts or pages. If it is your case and you would like to show the Featured Image there, just enable the toggle. The Featured Image will appear at the beginning of the content, before the text.

"This Plugin Doesn't Work, Man!"
Free feature
If the external featured images of your posts or pages aren't being shown, congratulations: you're using a nonstandard theme! But there is a last hope. Enabling the toggle below, your external featured images will be associated to a symbolic file in your Media Library. It's a desperate attempt to cheat your theme that will think that there is an internal image there. Then when the theme tries to show the image, that doesn't exist, a function will replace the symbolic file by your URL on execution time. It should allow you to use the main feature of this plugin, but secondary ones, such as "External Featured Image Slider" may not work.
