 * Hello,
 * I’m using your classified ads plugin and require the first uploaded image to 
   be automatically set as the featured image when publishing an ad. Right now, 
   this isn’t happening. I recently came across this post: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-feature-image/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-feature-image/)
   but it didn’t help. Is there a way to achieve this, maybe by adding some code
   to the `functions.php`?
 * Thank you in advance,
 * Jonathan

 * Hello Ali Akbar Reyad,
 * Thank you for your reply. I’m aware that the system should automatically set 
   the first image as the featured one. However, in my experience, this doesn’t 
   always work consistently. There are instances, especially when sharing on external
   platforms like WhatsApp, where the featured image doesn’t display properly.
 * Yes, I have the option to manually set an image as featured, but this process
   becomes impractical when managing multiple ads. Moreover, for it to work correctly,
   I find myself having to manually assign each photo, which isn’t efficient.
 * It would be very helpful if you could review this feature and ensure that it 
   works optimally and automatically in all scenarios. Is there an update or adjustment
   I can make to address this issue?
 * Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your assistance in this matter.
 * Best regards,
   Jonathan

 * Hello Ali Akbar,
 * I have been able to resolve the issue. It seems that in the recent updates of
   Yoast SEO, when selecting the option “This image is used as a backup for posts/
   images that don’t have any image,” Yoast SEO was giving priority to this backup
   image in the rtcl_listing posts. I’ve deactivated this option, and now everything
   is sharing correctly.😊
 * Best regards,
 * Jonathan.
