TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners and editors who manage a large number of posts and need to assign featured images efficiently. It adds a bulk action to the Media Library so users can set a post thumbnail directly from the media view instead of editing each post individually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Bulk-Select Featured Image

The post listed under "Uploaded to" in the Media Library. An attachment has one parent post. The plugin does not search post content, guess from filenames, or assign an image to every post where it appears. Inserting an existing Media Library image in another post does not necessarily change its attachment. Check "Uploaded to" before applying the action.

Yes. Both the bulk action and the individual row action replace the attached post's current featured image. An image that is already featured is reported as unchanged. There is no automatic undo; you can assign the previous image again if needed.

A post has only one featured image. If multiple eligible selected images are attached to the same post, all of those images are skipped and that post stays unchanged. Select just one image for that post and apply the action again. Other unambiguous selections are still processed.

Unattached images, missing or trashed parent posts, trashed media, non-image files, unsupported post types, and items you cannot edit. Images that WordPress cannot render as thumbnails or save are reported as failed; an unrenderable image does not clear an existing featured image.

Use List view for the plugin's row and bulk actions. WordPress's grid selection has a different interface. The Media Library link on the Plugins screen opens List view directly.

Yes, when the theme and post type support featured images. The plugin updates WordPress's standard featured-image assignment, so it works independently of the editor. It no longer forces featured-image support on themes that have not enabled it.

The action processes the selected items on the current List view page. Adjust Screen Options to change the page size. For large libraries, work in manageable batches; the plugin does not run a background library-wide operation.

Assigned featured images stay in place. The plugin does not create permanent settings or custom tables. Temporary per-user result notices expire after one minute.
