Description

Auto Post Thumbnail PRO is a plugin to generate Featured Image (AKA Post Thumbnail) from first image in a post or any custom post type content. The plugin will also create thumbnails from several popular Video services if it finds a Video embedded in the post.

Post Thumbnails is a theme feature introduced with Version 2.9 of WordPress. It was quickly changed to Featured Images with Version 3.0. Post Thumbnail, now Featured Image, is an image that is chosen as the representative image for Posts. The display of this image is up to the theme. Most Modern themes now use featured images in a variety of ways.

This plugin DOES NOT extract thumbnails/featured image from custom field or anywhere else.

Super! Recommended. Five stars. Thanks for this useful work.” jtorres_mora

“Very well done. easy, cheap and damn useful! A must have.” area97

“This plugin is awesome and saved me a huge amount of time. I used it on an old site that was built in the days of WordPress 1.x, needless to say it had no post thumbnails. This plugin generated thumbnails almost perfectly for thousands of posts. Reasons for the few times it failed were easily identified and fixed. I’ll post a comment with the reasons. Overall this plugin represents an EXCELLENT value and was a brilliant idea. Thanks!” invictus
