Drag & Drop Featured Image Improved is a plugin made to save you time when setting a featured image. What it does is simple, it replaces the default “Set featured image” metabox with a new one containing a Plupload drop area just like the one found in the media uploader. Based on Jonathan Lundström work and improved a little bit.
Since it uses the default WordPress functions it will compress all sizes just as the regular upload method would and it also respects any custom image sizes.

I had a ton of staff set up as a custom post type and this plugin made it much quicker to add their photos to each post. Had a few issues initially but the developer kindly responded with a fix within a few days.  :)


Plugin works well.

Drag and Drop Featured Image Improved replaces the default featured image box with a drag and drop zone for faster and more convenient uploads.

Hyperspective

Custom URL Replacer scans your post content for anchor tags where the visible text exactly matches the full URL. If the URL is external to your site, it replaces the text with a custom string. Additionally, if the “Open in New Tab” setting is enabled, the plugin forces all external links to open in a new tab by adding target=”_blank” and rel=”noopener noreferrer” automatically. A settings page is provided under the Tools menu so you can customize the replacement text and toggle the new tab option.
