Feature Request…

    I just tried this plugin for a site I’m helping build, and it does everything I need perfectly except one little thing (I have no idea if it’s really little, or a big deal for programming).
    I was hoping you could include an option in the shortcode to include a blog posts featured image? My client is saying he wants the blog post featured image included… I would love to continue to use your plugin, but for now I need to look for a different one that will meet my clients needs…

    If you include this, I’d love to use it! This plugin is so simple and straight forward and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do…

    Thank you wonderful wordpress developer!

    Hi,
    thanks for your feedback ??

    Adding featured images is not difficult, but if I add this option to the plugin, I should also add more options to choose the position where images should be displayed, their sizes and so on.
    It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but I have a lot of work and I can’t find time for that!

    What you can do for now – with just some coding, is editing the plugin file and add the line you need to the output (lines 74/78).

    You could add something like:
    $output .= get_the_post_thumbnail();

    to display the featured image.

    Best,
    Daniele

    Thank you…

    I was just thinking, that if you had it as an option and put the picture inside a div in the output of the plugin, then the webmaster using it could modify position and such with css… Just my thoughts…

    Thanks for your help!

    Great simple plugin which allows Posts or excerpts tp be posted on standard pages.

    Easy to create a shortcode to only post specific categories.

    But – Include Featured images is what I really want.

    The code suggestion above works, but I am a ‘reluctant’ coder. It would be great to add this as a feature plus positioning and styling control.

    In the meantime I will try to find something else – if such a plugin exists.
