  Howdy!

  The images in Publicize are selected in the order described here:

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!

  Thank you so much for your help! Unfortunately, it looks like the template I’m using does not enable me to select a featured image. I appreciate your help, though!

  I decided to change my theme to accommodate this feature. It’s a pretty big one for me. Thanks again!!
