Continues to work (WP 5.7.2)
I could wish for a bit more sophistication in the front-end interface — the documentation hints at a raft of options — but I’ve had it working for years now, and it keeps on ticking.
Very useful plugin
Thank you! Works great and have a lot of options.
Great!
Works as described! I can display multiple images if I select multiple categories for a post, but I can also still display only one image for an archive category and not have issues with other images
