Hello, Magento fans!

Since Magento is our favourite eCommerce platform and we all eagerly waited for Magento 2.4.0 release we are happy to bring the great news.

A Little Background

Our Magento 2 Login as Customer Extension made a great impact on Magento community. It's a valuable contribution to any Magento 2 store. That's why Magento got interested in adding it to Magento 2.4.0 core.

So, in the fall of 2019, Adobe Systems Incorporated, which owns the Magento platform, contacted us with an offer. Of course, we couldn't refuse, because Magefan are Magento fans.

Instead of writing new code from scratch, Magento asked about the integration, which we definitely supported.

Thus, we transferred the copyright for the "Login as Customer" extension to Adobe. Then in early 2020, we worked with the Magento Community Engineering Team on integrating our module into the Magento core. The module came out with code improvements and some new features. 

What's New in Login as Customer?

Now Magefan

If you use Magento 2 Blog extension with attached featured images to a blog post but these images are not displayed on the storefront, then most likely the issue is in your theme. A lot of themes provide custom blog layouts and template files that override the original view and can miss some blog functionality like featured images. To check and fix this, please follow steps below:

1. Open this file if exists (if does not exists skip steps 2-3):

/app/design/frontend/[ThemeVendor]/[themename]/Magefan_Blog/templates/post/list/item.phtml

2. Check if the file has the code like "getFeaturedImage". You can find the original code here

3. If this code is missing, add it to your custom theme file.

4. Open this file if exists (if does not exists skip steps 5-6):

/app/design/frontend/[ThemeVendor]/[themename]/Magefan_Blog/templates/post/view.phtml
