This is looking good. Now we're doing this, I think we can allow attached media when SIG is enabled.

That might need some additional changes in the backend logic.

Instagram and Tumblr previews seem to be broken when there is no featured image but a custom image attached

It works well for me. Since I pushed a couple of changes here, I think @pablinos can have a look at it again and approve if all good.

This is working well for me. Just need to test it with the backend changes now.
