Hey guys, I am currently in the building procress of an amazon affiliate blog and I would like to use the amazon provided image url as a featured image of my blog posts. I cannot download them and add them manually to my wordpress due to copyright restrictions so I downloaded the Plugin “Featured Image From URL” to make that happen. Now the following problem occured with the Newspaper theme:
The Plugin is fetching the featured Image right and stuff but it won’t show the Image on the actual site despite of the “latest article” part at the bottom of the frontpage. The Plugin developer said their might be some kind of trouble with some themes and that I have to add the themes custom post type to the plugin.
Now my question whats the exact name of the custom post type that is used with Newspaper Theme? I really want to make that work because I heavily rely on these images at my blog.

Hi,
I believe there were similar topics concerning an incompatibility between the plugin you mention and the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/featured-image-from-url-not-work-with-newspaper-theme/
The theme requires an actual image in the featured image box, this will be then used to create the thumbnails necessary for modules. You could maybe try other similar plugins instead.
There is no solution unfortunately in this case, that is how the theme creates the thumbnails
