Update featured image

  • Hello,
    i am using your plugin to import articles. In my settings, the option ‘Set the first image to the Featured Image (_thumbnail_id)’ is enabled.

    The list of images is as follows:

    {foto_lista[1]/foto[1]/nome[1]},
    {foto_lista[1]/foto[2]/nome[1]},
    {foto_lista[1]/foto[3]/nome[1]},
    {foto_lista[1]/foto[4]/nome[1]}

    and therefore image {foto_lista[1]/foto[1]/nome[1]} is being loaded as the featured image.
    But if the order of the images changes in the next import:

    {foto_lista[1]/foto[3]/nome[1]},
    {foto_lista[1]/foto[1]/nome[1]},
    {foto_lista[1]/foto[2]/nome[1]},
    {foto_lista[1]/foto[4]/nome[1]}

    will the preview image of my article also change with {foto_lista[1]/foto[3]/nome[1]} ?

    Hey @supportoaraneus,

    The first element specified in the “Images” section that contains an image would be used to set the featured image. If the order of images changes, setting which image is to be used as the featured may be possible with a workaround.

    That said, we’d need to have a closer look at the import itself to help with this. Please recreate it on one of our sandbox sites: https://www.wpallimport.com/debug/- and then open a support ticket with us over here: https://www.wpallimport.com/support/

    Please be sure to include the URL to the sandbox site in your ticket.

    Hello,

    it is important that the featured image changes even if the image has already been imported in a previous import and is already present in the WordPress media.

    Hi @supportoaraneus,

    My apologies for missing this one.

    it is important that the featured image changes even if the image has already been imported in a previous import and is already present in the WordPress media.

    Yes, if the first image name listed in the import template (in the “Images” section) changes, then that image will be used as the featured image.
