it’s adding them for posts directly posted in WordPress.

I’m not sure what this means. Could you please give detailed instructions on how to reproduce?

When I add ANY post in WordPress admin/Posts/Add New the PF plugin source metabox insists on adding “Source: AutoDraft” to manually added posts. If you try to remove it, it adds it back again.

Default to current date for post Y/N – right now it always defaults to this and if you schedule the post, instead, then it does both. I’d prefer to turn this off.

What do you mean by “does both”?

It defaults to “Publish future post immediately” but when I edit and schedule for a future date, “Publish future post immediately” does not deselect. So I end up publishing the post immedately but with a future date. I’d like to change the default to schedule.

Do you mean something like what’s being suggested here??https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/add-feed-name-after-source-when-publishing/?In that thread I talk about the possibility for a longer-term admin option, and give some workarounds for the time being.

Yes. That would do nicely.

Featured Image: It would be nice if the plugin picked up the image from the metadata. Currently, the post image has to be in the post to be picked up.

Can you give more details? What is “the image from the metadata”? Are you referring to a post that enters PF via the Nominate This bookmarklet?

Yes, a post entering PF thru the bookmarklet – that post will likely have metadata with an image that goes with the post.

Turn OFF ‘Don’t Forward’ option on Post Edit screen. I don’t use this and would love to be able to turn this off.

Do you mean you’d like the ability to set it to ‘Forward’ by default? Or are you happy with the default behavior, you just don’t want the dropdown to appear at all?

I would like an option to not have the Dropdown appear at all.

Option to have SOURCE included at the end of the content instead of a separate metabox.

Can you say more about the reasoning behind this? Is it because the editing experience is poor?

Future proofing really. If I stop using PF I would like the source to be preserved in the content itself.

Include LH NOMINATE THIS into your code so we don’t have to install that plugin as well.

For my own reference:?https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/lh-nominate-this/?Can you say more about what this plugin does, and how it either complements PF, or does some specific thing better than PF does?

Maybe I was mistaken. I thought the PF plugin required the LH Nominate This plugin.

It’s also adding source links if you ERASE the source link and it’s adding them for posts directly posted in WordPress.

Note: I’m on version 5.3.1

I tried activating it both ways. And in both cases, it fails to activate and there’s no error message.

Temporarily I’ve put the code in functions.php where it works. But here’s the code I’m trying to make a snippet.

function wpsites_auto_set_featured_image() {
   global $post;
$featured_image_exists = has_post_thumbnail($post->ID);
if (!$featured_image_exists)  {
 $attached_image = get_children( "post_parent=$post->ID&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&numberposts=1" );
if ($attached_image) {
foreach ($attached_image as $attachment_id => $attachment) {
set_post_thumbnail($post->ID, $attachment_id);
wp_reset_query();                                
   }
  }
 }
}
add_action('save_post', 'wpsites_auto_set_featured_image');

I figured out the issue. The metadata, in postmeta, for these images had been lost. We wrote a quick plugin to reconstruct this metadata, then ran Regenerate Thumbnails again with no issue.

Nevermind, it turns out that the ads had reset to TEXT ads instead of Adsense. All fixed.

Paul – it’s still crashing on my site. I’ll email you a login.

Yes, but if you look at the video, you’ll see those images are clearly there. It’s also thousands of images, so that’s an issue too.

Update. I turned Jetpack back on and now all the images show on the FRONT end but are still MIA in media library.

Aha! That did it. I wasn’t sure I should do that until you suggested it. Deleted the directory and then the plugin uninstalled. Thanks!

Well, I still can’t uninstall your plugin or the data/files it created. When I try to delete it, it never completes and eventually, I get this error:

Deletion failed: There has been a critical error on this website.Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.

So that’s the crash I’m currently dealing with.

As for missing images, yes, but I never restored anything from a backup other than some tables in the database.

My guess, and it’s just a guess, is that the WebP files filled the server and led to some sort of issue. I didn’t realize until I’d deleted some local backups and other large files that the WebP files were created in addition to the existing files.

I’ll send you a login to bypass the maintenance page.

Thanks!!
