This function will make the featured image link back to the blog the image was inserted. This way you do not have to change your themes files and your changes will not be gone after a theme update. **Make sure your theme doesn’t allready have this function. Some themes allready have this function by default.** ## Screenshots [⌊Example of the php code used.⌉⌊Example of the php code used.⌉[ Example of the php code used. ## Installation 1.
