 * Hi! You simply need to redefine a function called `leaf_get_post_image`. Here
   you have the new definition:
 *     ```
       function leaf_get_post_image($image_id = null, $post_id = null, $use_attachments = false, $url = null, $size = 'large') {
         global $id,$blog_id;
         $thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
         $post_id = ( $post_id == null ) ? $id : $post_id;
         $attachment = array();
   
         // If a URL is specified, use that.
         if ($url)
           return $url;
   
         // If image_id is specified, use that.
         elseif ($image_id)
           $attachment = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image_id, $size );
   
         // Check to see if NextGen Gallery is present.
         elseif(stripos($thumbnail_id,'ngg-') !== false && class_exists('nggdb')){
           $nggImage = nggdb::find_image(str_replace('ngg-','',$thumbnail_id));
           $attachment = array(
             $nggImage->imageURL,
             $nggImage->width,
             $nggImage->height
           );
         }
   
         // If not, let's use the post's featured image.
         elseif ( has_post_thumbnail( $post_id) ) {
           if ( function_exists( 'uses_nelioefi' ) && uses_nelioefi( $post_id ) )
             return nelioefi_get_thumbnail_src( $post_id );
           else
             $attachment = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id ), $size );
         }
   
         // Otherwise, and only if we want to, just use the last image attached to the post.
         elseif ( $use_attachments == true ) {
           $images = get_children(array(
             'post_parent' => $post_id,
             'post_type' => 'attachment',
             'numberposts' => 1,
             'post_mime_type' => 'image'));
           foreach($images as $image) { $attachment = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $image->ID, $size ); }
         }
   
         // If there is no image, use the default image (available filter: leaf_post_image_none).
   
         if (isset($attachment[0])) {
           $post_image_uri = $attachment[0];
         } elseif ( 'slider' == $size ) {
           $post_image_uri = apply_filters( 'leaf_slider_image_none', get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/no-image.jpg' );
         } else {
           $post_image_uri = apply_filters( 'leaf_post_image_none', get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/no-image-small.jpg' );
         }
   
         // If no image, return now
         if ( $post_image_uri == apply_filters( 'leaf_slider_image_none', get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/no-image.jpg' ) || apply_filters( 'leaf_post_image_none', get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/no-image-small.jpg' ) )
           return $post_image_uri;
   
         // If MU/MS install, we need to dig a little deeper and link through the blogs.dir.
         if ('IS_MU') {
           $imageParts = explode('/files/', $post_image_uri);
           if (isset($imageParts[1])) {
             $post_image_uri = '/blogs.dir/' . $blog_id . '/files/' . $imageParts[1];
           }
         }
   
         return $post_image_uri;
       }
       ```
   
 * The previous function is almost an exact copy of the original version, except
   for how we manage the `elseif ( has_post_thumbnail( $post_id) )` block. In that`
   elif` block, we’ve added a small check: `if ( uses_nelioefi( $post_id ) ) return
   nelioefi_get_thumbnail_src( $post_id );`.
 * You can edit this function directly in the theme (file `includes/theme-plugins.
   php`, line 153+), or you can create your a child theme and write the previous
   function in `functions.php`. I recommend you use the second option; otherwise,
   your changes will be lost when the theme is updated.
 * Finally, I’d like you to note that the carousel might not work _that_ well with
   external featured images… I suppose the carousel expects the featured images 
   to have certain dimensions (which WordPress can guarantee, but external featured
   images don’t).
 * Please, let us know if this worked!

 * Since we got no answer from OP, but the solution worked in our environment, we’ll
   close the thread.
