Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Quick Featured Images

For that use the plugin twice: In 'Bulk Edit' remove all undesired featured images if there are some. If desired, remove the images using the option 'Overwrite existing featured images'. Then choose the desired image and set it to the posts without the option 'Overwrite existing featured images'. This will set the image to all posts without a featured image.
Look at some examples: To set a default featured image for every new post of the category 'Lorem ipsum': Choose image Choose the taxonomy 'Category' and Choose the value 'Lorem ipsum'. Save the settings. To set a default featured image for every new post: Choose image Choose the taxonomy 'Post Type' and Choose the value 'Post' Save the settings. To set a default featured image for every new custom taxonomy of a theme or a plugin, e.g., events of the category 'Concert': Choose image Choose the taxonomy 'Event Category' and Choose the value 'Concert'. Save the settings.
All users who have the right to edit other posts have access to Quick Featured Images. As long as the user roles are untouched after a fresh standard WordPress installation both Administrators and Editors can use this plugin. For these users, the menu item 'Featured Images' with its subpages appears in the WordPress backend. All other users will not see this menu item or will get an error message if they would request a Quick Featured Images page via a direct link.
Yes. It works either activated for all sites (network wide) or activated in each single site. It changes only the posts of the site where you use it.
The free version of Quick Featured Images does not support setting featured images for WooCommerce products. But, you can achieve this with the Pro version, which is available for a small fee.
No. The featured images you have already set will remain set if you deactivate or delete the plugin.
This could be the case if the images were not uploaded via WordPress' own media uploader. If you have uploaded images via FTP or other ways, the plugin cannot find images. It does not matter where the images are stored on your server. They can be in any folder. But they have to be uploaded via WordPress' own media uploader to be found by this plugin. If this is the case, the plugin will work fine.
