 * Hi, I have a question regarding featured image permalinks. Currently, for an 
   image to be featured, it has to be in the wordpress media library. Lets say, 
   this is my image url:
    [http://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/myImage.jpg](http://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/myImage.jpg)
 * I do not like the permalink structure for the media images. Also I do not want
   to use wordpress media as I prefer to use my own ftp program.
 * Instead of choosing wordpress media images as featured images, I want to choose
   my own image from a different url (shorter url example [http://mydomain.com/image.jpg](http://mydomain.com/image.jpg)).
 * Is it possible for the featured image (shown on homepage) to be from my own shorter
   url instead?
 * I am currently using a child theme.
 * many thanks for your time.
