Does what is should do. I just added a check in the code, i do not want the last post image in my sidebar on archive pages. if (!is_single()) return;

Good plugin but does have some php warnings

By Justin Dixon on August 2, 2017

The plugin does what it is supposed to do, however, there are some errors generated that can be easily fixed by adding "global $post;" to the top of the plugins function "getting_featured_img".

Awesome
