These must be in function.php in the theme for the plugin to work for thumbnail and excerpt:
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
set_post_thumbnail_size( form_option(‘thumbnail_size_w&&echo=false’), form_option(‘thumbnail_size_h&&echo=false’), true );
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) { 
 return 20; 
} 
add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 ); 
function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) { 
 return ”; 
} 
add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘custom_excerpt_more’ );
You’ll also need to add thumbnails to the posts you want visible in the list.
After that, all you need to do is to add the hook [getcatlist 1] (where 1 is a categoy id) to your post.

Plugin allows you to manually crop all the image sizes registered in your WordPress theme (in particular featured image). 
Simply click on the “Crop” link next to any image in your media library.

Manual Image Crop

Doesn't seem to work with add_image_size when used with a child theme's function.php using code like below:
/*---------------------------------------------*/
/* ADD CUSTOM IMAGE SIZES
/*---------------------------------------------*/

if ( function_exists( 'add_image_size' ) ) {
	add_image_size( 'facebook-image-page', 470, 470 );
}

add_filter( 'image_size_names_choose', 'insert_custom_image_sizes' );
function insert_custom_image_sizes( $sizes ) {
	global $_wp_additional_image_sizes;
	if ( empty($_wp_additional_image_sizes) )
		return $sizes;

	foreach ( $_wp_additional_image_sizes as $id => $data ) {
		if ( !isset($sizes[$id]) )
			$sizes[$id] = ucfirst( str_replace( '-', ' ', $id ) );
	}

	return $sizes;
}

Support for this plug-in is very bad and it contains a few bugs. No response after a month..
