Post Featured Image Generator

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 · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   It just did the job for our 100 posts old blog. It would be nice if it gets updated and some bugs fixed.

   Very good if you don’t have too much content. I have some problems in my website, I have more than 400 articles to analize but (i think) my server can’t support it. the plugin show stay blocked at 0% and don’t advance. On other websites with less content it work very great.

   I spent hours researching a plugin to achieve the simple feat of setting the first attached image of posts as the featured image. This was the only plugin of a dozen tested that worked that people weren’t trying to charge $50 for.

   Anyone wondering what this plugin does, here it is in simple terms: 1) This plugin automatically adds a featured image to a post during post creation (good for lazy writers); 2) This plugin will also process old posts to add a featured image to any post that does not already have featured image attached to it (good for Blogger imports). The featured image set by this plugin is taken from images attached to a post. There are settings to specify whether images are ignored due to their dimensions. Looks like the plugin will set video files as “featured images” too but I’ve not tested that feature. I used this plugin to add featured images to posts imported from Blogger (I had already brought over the images to the local server). The bulk process stalled once but clicking ‘Stop’ followed by ‘Restart’ got it going again. The plugin’s settings are found under Dashboard > Media Library. I’m a satisfied customer 🙂 Mr Developer, feel free to use my review as the plugin description if you want to do so.
