  • Works as intended

    I've been using a plugin for external images called Featured Image for URL, but the recent version screwed up another plugin which allowed me to show recent posts when the featured image was from an external url, and now my homepage was all screwed up, so in desperation, I installed this one. It works perfectly so far!
