 * Hello,
    My website relies on importing articles from other sources via rss feed,
   and then when the post is created locally, AFI is supposed to generate a featured
   image for it. I am on the premium version, and the setting is “Find or Google”.
   I have noticed two issues: 1- for some posts, no thumbnail is found or googled
   at all 2- for other posts, when I go to the post and I click on “no image” it
   shows me that there are images, but they are not being displayed. In a lot of
   cases, what resolves the bigger issue (number 1) is to just go into the plugin
   and click on Generate Featured Images. When I do that, around 80% of the missing
   images are generated, and then I do the remaining ones manually. I have tried
   almost every setting for the plugin, but it still doesn’t work as planned. I 
   need a solution asap, and if there isn’t one, I don’t mind creating a cron job
   that would do it if you can tell me how (absolute beginner instructions). Thanks!
