Auto Linked Featured Images - Wordpress Plugin

Automatically Display Featured Images Beside Internal Links in WordPress

Adding internal links is one of the best ways to help readers discover more content, but plain text links are easy to overlook. Linked Featured Images Pro automatically displays the featured image from the linked post or page beside the paragraph containing the internal link, helping important content stand out without requiring you to manually insert images throughout your website.

The plugin works on the front end while WordPress renders the page, so your original post content is never modified. Simply continue writing naturally, add your normal internal links, and let the plugin display matching featured images automatically.

Why Use Linked Featured Images Pro?

Large websites often contain hundreds or thousands of internal links. Manually adding featured images beside every important recommendation quickly becomes impossible.

Linked Featured Images Pro helps solve that problem by automatically displaying featured images for your own published posts and pages wherever you already link to them.

Improve Internal Navigation and Reader Engagement

Featured images naturally attract attention. Displaying them beside relevant internal links makes related articles easier to notice, encourages readers to continue exploring your website, and creates a more visual reading experience without changing how you write your content.

This makes the plugin especially useful for blogs, affiliate websites, online magazines, news sites, educational websites, documentation portals, recipe blogs, and any content-heavy WordPress website.

Choose where featured images appear, adjust image alignment, control desktop and mobile sizing, limit how many images display in each article, prevent duplicate images, and exclude specific posts, pages, categories, destinations, or custom content areas. The plugin gives you full control while keeping the setup simple.
