 * Hello,
 * I am “premium” subscriber of the theme (bought it couple of years ago for fixed
   amount, before your subscription plan).
 * After last update 2.0.10 (from 2.0.8) I’ve noticed that thumbnails don’t appear
   anymore on the front page (the small images in top right corner of post excerpt).
   They worked by getting first image from post content – there were no featured
   image set and it was quite useful. Now, to set thumbnail user needs to manually
   set featured image.
 * What happened to mechanism of setting up thumbnail from image in post content
   and posting it to excerpt on front page? Is it possible to have it back?
 * I’ve manually set back some of the images, but it would be great to have them
   back. You could see page below (some post have manual images, others not, despite
   having images in content).
 * Site is chessbrains dot pl
    wp version 4.7.2 theme ver 2.0.10 post excerpts set,
   thumbnail image set
 * Best regards,
    Milosz
