timeline wall post doesn't display the photo beide the title?

Hi Voxel Support Team,

I’d like to report a bug with the **Timeline Post Wall** widget when used with a custom post type (CPT).

**Issue:**
The avatar/post image in the Timeline Post Wall does not pull from the **Featured Image** of the CPT. Instead, the widget only works when a separate **Logo** field is added and populated. When using the Featured Image, the rendered HTML shows “, confirming the widget fails to resolve the Featured Image as the image source.

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Create a CPT (e.g. People) using Voxel
2. Use the Featured Image as the post’s main image (no Logo field)
3. Add a Timeline Post Wall widget to display that CPT
4. Observe: avatar image does not display (`src=”false”`)

**Workaround found:** Adding a “Logo” field and duplicating the same image there fixes the display — but this means maintaining two identical image fields per post, which is redundant and bad for workflow.

**Why this matters:**
– The Featured Image is the standard WordPress image field and is important for **SEO** (used by schema, Open Graph, etc.)
– Forcing a duplicate Logo field just to make the widget work is unnecessary extra work for content editors
– The Timeline Post Wall should support Featured Image natively, just like other display contexts in Voxel do

Could you please look into making the Timeline Post Wall widget compatible with the Featured Image field? Ideally, there should be an option to map the avatar source to the Featured Image directly.
