 * Hi guys,
 * I’m using a theme by Classipress for one of my websites, and the problem with
   this is that they don’t use ‘Featured Images’ on their ‘ad_listing’ custom post
   type.
 * All I’m getting is a big hunk of a grey colour.
 * Is there a shortcode setting where you can pull the first image contained in 
   the post (ad_listing) into the plugin, rather than the featured image?

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for reaching here…
 * Can you please create a new test page and add a shortcode and please share your
   test page link?
 * Which shortcode you are using please share.

 * Hi [@patelketan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patelketan/)
 * The link to the test page is [HERE](https://www.secretclassifieds.com/test/)
 * …and the shortcode that I used is
 * `[recent_post_slider design="design-3" post_type="ad_listing" limit="5"]`
 * As I mentioned earlier, the theme doesn’t use featured images for the ad_listings
   post type, and I wondered if there was a way to amend the shortcode so that it
   pulls in the first image of the post?

 * Hello,
 * Please check your custom post “ad_listing” type. I think your post type does 
   not support “featured image”.
 * Please check this plugin with the WordPress default post.
 * Please check and let me know if you anything else.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi [@patelketan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patelketan/)
 * I’ve just said (twice) that the ad_listing post type does not support featuresd
   images, and can the shortcode be changed to pull in the first image instead?
 * Obviously it cannot then.

 * Hi [@deeveearr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deeveearr/)
 * Sorry for the confusion. “WP Responsive Recent Post Slider” plugin only works
   with Post Featured images.
 * If the post featured image is not there then it can not pull the first image 
   from post content.
 * You can take a look at the below plugin. I am not sure but may it help you.
