Display Featured Image In Post List

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 93% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I decided not to bother with featured images in WordPress, preferring the text-only listings on my blog posts page. 200 posts later, and I now want to have a thumbnail show against the posts lists, which, of course, I can’t do easily as I used individually named images on each separate post page! After going through 20 posts and swapping my image to a featured image and changing the format of the post listing page to show a featured image thumbnail i was completely fed up with the process and wondered if i could use a generic featured image for the old posts! This plug in is magic and now i don’t have to go through the old posts!!!!!!
