  I often auto post from Flickr uploads via IFTTT to WordPress. This works fine but my theme mixfolio requires a ‘feature image’ to display as a thumbnail on the Home Page. Is there a way of automating the first image in a post to be used as the ‘feature image’? I can see this is done in wordpress.org using a plugin, but wondered if it can be done in wordpress.com

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,
  Have you read this guide? http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/guide-to-mixfolio/

  There is no FTP access and no plugin capability on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that. See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Thanks. I will have a read.

  In the mean time – I have set up flickr in the menu which is a link to my Flickr photostream, but I’m sure that there was an option within mixfolio to display the flickr stream as a mosaic within the page. But I seem to have lost that option.

  Now on with the reading…
