Does it work with CPT?

Hi, @painlessseo.

Yes, it works with Custom Post Types. The most used CPT is WooCommerce product by the way.

About Web Stories, I don’t know much about it, but if adds a new CPT, and loads the meta boxes of third-party plugins, FIFU should be able to associate that with a featured image.

Hi @marceljm, thank you for looking into this for me. I tried but the editor of Web Stories isn’t the typical WP editor for posts, pages, cpt…

Is it possible for you to confirm that [fifu_image_url] is actually available as metadata for web-stories?

You can visit /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=web-story to add an empty story for testing.

I was able to use other third-party plugins to add featured images to web-stories but when it comes to fifu, I couldn’t find [fifu_image_url] .

Again, thank you.

If other plugins can add featured images to Web Stories, so we’ll try to adjust FIFU to do the same. Could you list the plugins you are talking about?

Hi @marceljm, thank you so much! I’m using this plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-sheet-editor-bulk-spreadsheet-editor-for-posts-and-pages/ to add the Featured Image.

After you install & activate it, you might need to go to Sheet Editor and enable Stories. Then, you can see all the web-stories in a spreasheet-like UI.

To see the added featured images for web-stories, please visit domain.com/web-stories/ , which is basically an archive page. Sometimes, the web-stories autoplay themselves depending on the theme you use, but if the featured image is added, you should be able to see it in your browser’s debugging mode.

Your plugin is great and I believe it might be the only plugin in the market today still works after all recent WP updates.

Really appreciate your support!

Hi, @painlessseo.

I have accessed the link and watched the introduction video. Indeed the sheet editor plugin allows to edit featured images, but not from the post editor.

If the goal is to set the featured image without a meta box in the post editor, FIFU has multiple ways to do that.

The simplest way would be with our quick editor:

https://ps.w.org/featured-image-from-url/assets/screenshot-6.png?rev=2750395

Accessing /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=web-story you should see FIFU quick editor, however, that’s not available in our free version.

Let me know if that’s what you were looking for.

By the way I have tested the quick editor right now.

As you said, the featured image is displayed on /web-stories/ page.

But, accessing /web-stories/<my-webstory-title>/, it’s not displayed.

Hi @marceljm, if you access a specific web-story post like
/web-stories/this-story/
the featured image isn’t showing like how a featured image works in Post, Page… (unless it is set to be hidden)

Sure! I will look into the quick editor feature and I will be more than happy to upgrade to be a Pro user.

Hi?@marceljm, is it possible for you to add the Fifu Meta Url metadata to Web Stories? I appreciate the Quick Editor idea but I plan to use this metadata for an internal project? Kindly let me and many thanks!

Hi, @painlessseo

Sorry, I’m not exactly sure what “FIFU Meta URL metadata” means. Do you mean a field to input an image URL?

Hi Marcel, Fifu Meta Url can be found as a custom field/metadata for Post, right? Can you please make it available for Web Stories too? No UI is necessary though. Thank you.

FIFU is already compatible with any custom post type, @painlessseo, including stories.

Hi Marcel. Thank you. I can see the fifu_image_url for Post but I couldn’t find it for Story. Can you please confirm that this custom field is actually available for Story? Really appreciate it.

Because you are supposed to set that. You can do that by calling

fifu_dev_set_image($post_id, $image_url)

Hi Marcel, thank you but this only enable a single post right? How to enable a CPT? Thanks

No. That applies to any post type.
