    Hello! I'm using an Mocha Child Theme, and I'm wondering if there's a simple way to add a url link option to the "Featured Image" section located in the Featured Post widget? Specifically, I'd really love to link the featured image thumbnail (lefthand, "what's new" column of our site) to a specific page rather than the original post. Thanks for any help you can share!

    As you posted this a while ago, I hope you got your issue resolved. If not, please let me know, and I will take a look (or escalate if I cannot help).

    If it is resolved, please mark it resolved, so that the thread can be closed.

    Thanks!

    Thank you for taking the time to reply, Susan, and I apologize for taking so long to revisit this issues. I never did find a resolution for adding link options to the featured image, so I would very much appreciate you taking a look when you get a chance.

    Thanks again!

    Figured it out...simply needed to enter the desired url in the custom redirect URL field! 🙂
