> **The posts and pages in my WordPress site have featured images set, but those image links don’t appear to be included in my results indexed with the Swiftype WordPress plug-in. How do I fix this?**

To include featured image links with your WordPress search engine results, you’ll need to add a custom function to your theme’s **`functions.php`** file.

Here’s an example function that will use the featured image of the post as the **`image`** field value in Swiftype:

```auto
function update_swiftype_document_url($document, $post) {
    $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post - > ID), 'thumbnail');
    $document['fields'][] = array('name' => 'image',
        'type' => 'enum',
        'value' => $image[0]);

    return $document;
}

add_filter('swiftype_document_builder', 'update_swiftype_document_url', 10, 2);

```

This function should work in most cases, but might need to be modified depending on how you’ve customized your WordPress theme.
