# Great Plugin WORKS

 * Saw that this plugin was recently updated and decided to give it a try. It works
   flawlessly and seems to be a better option than other similar plugins out there.
 * But, it is missing an important feature: the ability to set a featured image 
   for the imported posts. Ideally, the imported post should upload the imported
   images locally (better for SEO and other reasons such as what if the syndicated
   site has hotlinked images blocked on their server?) then have the option to automatically
   set the featured image to either the first image in the post or a default image
   for that syndicated source.
 * Without this, creating an aggregated content page or site with this plugin will
   result in a text only site with no images other than the hotlinked images being
   displayed via html on each post page.
 * EDIT: Looks like this is doable after all! [https://github.com/radgeek/FWP—SIC–Em](https://github.com/radgeek/FWP—SIC–Em)

 * I agree! I tried another plugin and that one was even worse, so I’m going to 
   return to FeedWordPress for that project. I didn’t find anything at the link 
   [@codings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codings/) provided, so I’ll boost
   his post in hopes that the developers will follow through on this important feature.

 * [@vesica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vesica/) Thanks for bumping this.
   It looks like WP is changing the format of the URL, so when I post it here, it
   doesn’t work.
 * Try [https://github.com/radgeek](https://github.com/radgeek) look for [FWP—SIC–Em](https://github.com/radgeek/FWP---SIC--Em)(
   maybe it will work if I link it like this, if not, then find it from radgeek’s
   main page there).
