featured image problem

  • hi all,

    I have this problem: the wordpress templates I’m using are only showing featured images on the frontpage.

    My webhost account has got only a limited storage space, so I use < img src = “http:” > to give my blogs a picture and my readers know what I’m talking about.

    My question: is there a WP plugin or another way to set < img src = “http:” > as featured image without downloading the picture to my webhostaccount?

    thank you.

  • Do you mean that a post’s featured image shows on your front page but not on a post’s single page? If that’s the case you can either include the featured image in your theme template, take a look at the post thumbnail page, or, have a look at something like the insert featured image shortcode plugin.

    no, that’s not it.

    I create a single post and use < img src = “http:” > to insert a picture in that post.

    as I save the post, the first image that is used in my post, should appear on the frontpage. This is not the case.

    When I use “featured image” that can be set at all post (picture upload), that picture appears with the postlink on the front page.

    Because of the limited space of my hostaccount, I would like to set the URL-image as featured image, but I don’t know how.
    Using the URL-image as featured image saves me storage space.

    I hope there is a plugin or another way.

    How about the Get The Image plugin?

    How does it grab images?
    Looks for an image by custom field (one of your choosing).
    If no image is added by custom field, check for an image using the_post_thumbnail() (WordPress featured image).
    If no image is found, it grabs an image attached to your post.
    If no image is attached, it can extract an image from your post content (off by default).
    If no image is found at this point, it will fall back to a default image (not set by default).
