FAQ

Please read it before buying

How to get Featured Image from URL?

Free: WordPress plugin directory.

On how many sites can I install it?

Which plugins are compatible with it?

FIFU is compatible with most popular plugins. If you intend to use the Premium version with a specific plugin, try to test with the free version first.

Can I get my money back later?

Yes. You have a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What happens after 1 year?

You can continue using the Premium version normally*. However, to continue receiving updates and support, you will need to make a new payment.
* except the features “Auto set featured image using post title and search engine” and “Auto set featured image using ISBN and books API”. They run on a cloud service, so there are ongoing costs.
