It’s MUCH lighter than the other plugin “Featured Image from URL (FIFU)”, and doesn’t install piles of stuff with tons of settings. P.S. they’re both great plugins, but this one is way lighter. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fefcbe1d0587b17d473867ed9eaa4137ef5db40811b63d120a4e654e782d37b2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Fixed the error of the resize](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/worked-only-the-first-time/)󠁿 [Anonymous User 20036978](https://profiles.wordpress.org/anonymized-20036978/) October 7, 2021 Great plugin ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dffdbb0a8414040ce41471ba6c5b910ba398cb1abb0e2563ff6f5588809c0029? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-8914/)󠁿 [sroskylos](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sroskylo1/) July 11, 2021 Awesome plugin.

super easy setting, and you can even search featured images from pexel if you use with jetpack.  Hope some good guy can keep it updated!
