External Featured Image Size Issue

I’m quite surprised this is how it works. Have you tried to change the External Featured Image Mode in our plugin’s settings? Maybe one of the extra settings fixes the issue, but I’m not 100% sure.

Hi!

OK we tried adjusting the setting at Nelio Contents > Settings > Content > External Featured Images, but it is still the same.

That’s unfortunate! Well, we implemented multiple “modes” because we know how difficult it is to make external featured images compatible with all themes. I’m afraid there are still some themes that are out of our reach.

In any case, we are happy that Nelio Content enables external featured images to display in Facebook link post, so we are quite OK to trade-off the small issue of a cropped featured image displaying on the actual WP post itself.

That sounds good. If you feel comfortable editing the theme, you can also try to use the featured image directly by retrieving the _nelioefi_url meta field (or using the helper functions in class-nelio-content-external-featured-image-helper.php.

Thanks for the info! Anyway, being a custom theme, I’d give this a try:

$image = false;
if ( class_exists( 'Nelio_Content_External_Featured_Image_Helper' ) ) {
  $aux = Nelio_Content_External_Featured_Image_Helper::instance();
  $efi_url = $aux->get_nelio_featured_image( $id );
  if ( is_string( $efi_url ) && strlen( $efi_url ) ) {
    $image = $efi_url;
  }
}
// Do whatever you want with the image.

If it worked at some point, there must be something different (another plugin or theme). Unfortunately, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to help you ATM.
