Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Auto Featured Image from Title

That's up to your Wordpress theme. Some themes do this by default, some don't. If yours doesn't, edit your Wordpress theme and insert the following code where you'd like the featured image to appear. <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it. the_post_thumbnail(); } ?>
You can customize the generated image somewhat via the options page which can be found in under Settings > Auto Featured Image. The PRO version also allows you to upload and use your own fonts and background images.
This is a feature of the PRO version of the plugin. Upgrade to the PRO version!
No, it will only create featured images for posts that do not have featured images set.
