Ok for some reason the show_content parameter suddenly works. I also found out why the images are not displayed correctly. When I look at the generated source on my site, I see that the width and height parameters I set are added to the image name, like:
image.jpg –> image-300×100.jpg
So I have to upload an image with that name, or change the parameters to reflect an already existing image. Why doesn’t the plugin use the featured image with the added parameters?
