Update #1 — I’ve determined if I add the 1200 x 1820 image to the post, then the “featured image” won’t display. If I delete the featured image from the post, everything works fine. Any suggestion?
Update #2 — if I save the same image with two file names (WWA.jpg and WWB.jpg for example) I can use one for the featured image and another for the post. Then everything works — but I’d like to avoid that if possible.

Yes, the plugin checks to see if the full size version of the featured image is already included in the post content, and if it is, it uses a fallback image or displays none at all. You’ve found one way around it–another option would be to upload the featured image, but insert it into your content at a smaller size, if you can (on many sites, the “large” image size will be enough to span the content width, and bypass the plugin behavior). This was implemented fairly early on in the plugin development to avoid unnecessarily duplicated images.
Thanks, Robin. I appreciate your quick response.
