Hi!
For some reason, WP featured image won’t be published anymore on the Discourse posts.
I have a featured\_link.post\_error that returns a 403 error.
Here’s full error message in WP-Discourse:
```plaintext
[2021-07-16 22:02:50] publish.ERROR: featured_link.post_error {"wp_title":"Roule Ton Unifest' (Métabief, Jura)","wp_author_id":"17","wp_post_id":159075,"discourse_post_id":"203291","response_message":"Forbidden","http_code":403}
```
Any idea how I can fix this?

The featured image in Wordpress and the featured link in Discourse are different things.
The featured link is a link that’s applied to Discourse topics, which appears below the topic title in a topic, and next to the title in a topic list. You can set the featured link in posts published from Wordpress using the `Add Featured Links` publishing setting. To see this working on the latest code of both [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) and Discourse, see

You can add the featured image of a Wordpress post to the full text of a post published on Discourse following the steps outlined here.

#### Your log error
It looks like the error you’re getting there for the featured link request is an authorisation error. The code `403` and the message “Forbidden” (which comes from Discourse itself, not [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse)) is telling us that the user who you’ve set in your [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) connection settings doesn’t have permission to use the Topic update endpoint (which is used to update a topic to add the featured link).
I would first try refreshing the API token (set it as a “Global Key” when you generate it in Discourse) you’re using in [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse).

Thanks for the detailed answer and the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) template customization link, I used some code from here and now featured images work again, among other things that were also broken. Everything was working well less than a week ago so I guess my code was incompatible with a recent update of [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) or something like that.
However, there’s still the _featured link_ error in [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) logs though posts are correctly updated. 🤔
Despite this logged error, everything seems to be working fine.
