Good plugin
by markmuller·5 years ago
Does what is should do.
I just added a check in the code, i do not want the last post image in my sidebar on archive pages.
if (!is_single()) return;
Good plugin but does have some php warnings
by Justin Dixon·8 years ago·1 reply
The plugin does what it is supposed to do, however, there are some errors generated that can be easily fixed by adding “global $post;” to the top of the plugins function “getting_featured_img”.

Poor plugin, waste of time
by kaliwoot2·11 years ago
Truly terrible and (currently) uncompleted description of how to implement plugin successfully into wp code.
Therefore, it does not work.
What a waste.
