 * Upgrade your version to 1.1 and add this shortcode in your theme
    <?php echo 
   do_shortcode(‘[AAIU theme=”true”]’); ?>
 * I hope this will help you.

 * Fantastic, thanks for the help.. this is really a fantastic plugin you have made.:)
   
   i have a suggestion for a update for it, how about if it could make the images
   set as featured/thumbnail images of a post? so that the plugin could be used 
   to post from front end?
