Featured Image Admin Thumb

Description

When active this plugin adds a column to the All Posts/All Pages and where supported the All Custom Post Type admin views. This column, “Thumb”, will display a thumbnail of the featured image
or post thumbnail so you can easily determine the content that is missing an image.

You can also make inline edits that allow you to change the thumb/image from the All Posts/All Pages/All Custom Post Type view without having to edit the post.

Now the plugin is translatable. Using tools such as Poedit along with localized / international versions of WordPress, FIAT can display user supplied translations of its text.

FAQ

You don’t see the thumb column and the thumbnails in that column

After checking that the plugin is enabled, be sure to click Screen Options if you don’t immediately see the column and ensure “Thumb” has a checkmark next to it

My thumbnail column shows posts with blank areas in the thumb column

During testing I found that if a post has a featured image assigned but does not show a thumbnail it was because the image file is missing it will show up blank within the sorted posts that do show thumbnails

Good job. Allows me to easily see which posts have a featured image or not in the admin screen. The “Set featured image” link for posts that don’t – is a real time saver. Well done!P.S. Bonus would be if you could choose the column to display “Thumb” as it would be nice in the first or third column of the admin screen.

Very useful !

This plugin is very useful for me on many WordPress websites. Thanks for it!

Worked perfectly, saved me some time

This plugin did exactly what I wanted. It showed me in my admin list which posts didn’t have an image and let me click a link right there inline to add the right one. Nailed it. Couldn’t be happier.

Bless You!
