Hello, Magento fans!

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

In the fall of 2019, we received a request from Adobe Systems Incorporated, which owns the Magento platform, to include our Login as Customer module for Magento 2 in the core of their system. Of course, we couldn't refuse, because Magefan is Magento fans.

Login as Customer functional is a valuable contribution to any Magento 2 store. It did a great impact on Magento Community and that was why Magento got interested in adding it to the Magento 2.4.0 functional. 

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

We transferred copyright for the "Login as Customer" extension to Adobe, and in the early 2020 we worked with the Magento Community Engineering Team on integrating our module into the Magento core. There were made code improvements and added some new features.

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
