Hello sir,
I want to use external image link as a featured image through custom field option.
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme does not support external featured images. We have not tested any solutions for this, but there are a few online resources you can check out: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/158491/is-it-possible-set-a-featured-image-with-external-image-url (not tested so it could not work)
Thank you!
I have the same issue. I have tried a bunch of different plugins that work with other themes but they don’t work with Newspaper. I need to get this resolved in order to be able to move forward with this project. I have been searching for a solution for over a month now.
I have tried External Thumbnail, Nelio External Featured Image, and RB External Thumbnail. I currently have RB External Thumbnail activated, and am able to set the thumbnail, but it doesn’t get passed to Newspaper thumbnail, for example here. http://thekineticist.com/category/blog/
I also paid for and tried WP Autoset Featured Image Plus as suggested by TagDiv, but it requires the external image URL to be in the post itself, which is not the case with my setup – I am using Embedly.
Thanks for any suggestions you have, it sounds like a lot of people need this to work.
Hi,
We have not been able to find a plugin that works out of the box either, but there are people who managed to adapt the ‘nelio’ plugin to the theme code:

For post pages you can implement the first code in module_single_base.php file – http://screencast.com/t/A8Wxup39 and if you want the external image on modules you could implement the second code like this – http://screencast.com/t/gwnGwnqbdr
Our featured image code is custom and plugins cannot tie themselves to the code by default.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
