Clean, fast plugin that does exactly what it says ??

This plugin works perfectly for all newly created posts as it describes. Thanks for this little plugin!

Doesn't work anymore!

This plugin was last updated 2 years ago, and it doesn’t work anymore. Just tested it with my WordPress install, version 4.4! Nothing happens. I recommend using “WP Autoset Featured Image Plus”: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-autoset-featured-image-plus/ Does exactly the same thing and works perfectly!

Wish it worked for existing posts…

I can see how this would be useful, though, but for my purposes and by the name of it, I was hoping it’d go through old posts and, if they didn’t have a featured image, set the first image.
