Feature Image Extended extends featured image functionality allowing:
<ul>
<li>Hiding featured image in your themes for all post types.</li>
<li>Adding link to the featured image.</li>
<li>Adding thumbnail featured image in administration screens listing.</li>
<li>Featured image quick-editing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
Once the plugin is installed you can control settings in the following ways:
<ul>
<li>Programmatically by using <code>featured_image_extended_settings</code> filter (see below).</li>
<li>Using the Settings->Featured Image Extended administration screen.</li>
</ul>
If your theme uses a different call other than <code>the_post_thumbnail()</code>/<code>get_the_post_thumbnail()</code> in order to get the featured image, this plugin might not work. 
So, in order to get extended featured image settings and apply to your pages, you should use <code>featured_image_extended()</code> (see below).
<h3>API</h3>
<code>featured_image_extended( integer $post_id = null )</code>
It returns an array containing featured image extended information of <code>$post_id</code> post (or current post if you don’t supply an argument) like following:
<pre><code>array(
 'show' => true,
 'url' => 'https://myurl.com',
 'target' => '_blank',
 'title' => 'Image title',
)
</code></pre>
<h4>Hooks</h4>
<code>featured_image_extended_settings</code>
Filter plugin settings values.
<pre><code>apply_filters( 'featured_image_extended_settings', array $settings )
</code></pre>
<code>featured_image_extended_admin_settings</code>
Filter allowing to display or not the plugin settings page in the administration.
<pre><code>apply_filters( 'featured_image_extended_admin_settings', boolean $display )
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>Need images for articles or posts on your website?</li>
<li>Don’t download images from other sites because you want to avoid copyright claims?</li>
<li>Tired of generating images manually via ChatGPT or similar services: coming up with prompts, waiting, then uploading images by hand?</li>
<li>Other auto-generation plugins are too expensive or have confusing pricing?</li>
</ul>
ClipCloud for WordPress solves these problems easily!
<ul>
<li>Create images for your articles effortlessly — automatically (on publish) or manually (one click).</li>
<li>Use automatic prompt enhancement: ClipCloud decides what to depict based on your article content.</li>
<li>No complicated settings. You don’t need to pick a model or tweak parameters for your niche — everything is configured automatically.</li>
<li>No paid subscriptions. 25 images per day — free. Need more? In paid mode, one image costs from just $0.0005. Or 2000 images for $1. <a href="https://clipai.pro/clipcloud/" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn more >></a></li>
<li>Not only for the “featured image”. The plugin can also automatically add images near H headings (H2, H3, H4) if you need it.</li>
</ul>
Key features
<ul>
<li>Auto-generation on publish. The plugin automatically queues image generation for newly published posts and pages (can be disabled in settings).</li>
<li>Featured image generation. Creates and sets the main post image; with “Do not replace existing” enabled, it won’t touch an already set thumbnail.</li>
<li>Images for H2 / H3 / H4 subheadings (your choice). Can automatically insert images near selected heading levels — above or below the heading (configurable).</li>
<li>Manual control where you need it. Generate images from the post metabox, plus bulk generation from the posts list.</li>
<li>Smart prompt building. Automatically improves the prompt based on the article title and the text of each specific subheading; also selects a suitable style.</li>
<li>Status right in the admin area. Shows generation progress in the posts table and inside the post editor, with auto-refresh.</li>
<li>Protection from duplicates and clutter. The plugin synchronizes the heading structure and can optionally remove outdated items when the text/headings change.</li>
</ul>
