 * I’ve tried it all ways. I thought maybe it was the image size but they are all
   over 200 in size

 * yes it is although I have also tried with images via ftp, same result. It says
   it’s done but displaying posts for not set images shows this is not so. Individual
   posts have the same issue on update. A manual set is ok. Also it is about 65 
   images only out of hundreds, the rest did a great job. 🙂

 * Is it the image you are displaying with the shortcode?
   The plugin does not support
   shortcode images, but you can add the following code to the theme’s functions.
   php to support shortcode images.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'xo_featured_image_tools_post_content', function( $content ) {
       	$content = do_shortcode( $content );
       	return $content;
       } );
       ```

 * no, nothing complicated at all. I make a new post, click update and most set 
   the featured image but not all. I think it must be a clash with the theme somehow
