Featured Image Plus – Quick & Bulk Edit with Unsplash

The plugin may be simple and it is, but at the same time, it's a huge timesaver.

I love the idea of the Quick Edit Featured Image setting and I find it useful. I will use the plugin for development.

Highly recommend the plugin despite its competition, it is light-weight and simple, which suits my development needs perfectly.

Love the idea of Quick Edit featured image


This plugin does exactly what it says and it does it wonderfully! THANKS SO MUCH, you saved me hours of work! :))))))


FANTASTIC PLUGIN!!!!!


Fast, simple and supports cpt's - no premium bs. Good job!


It's perfect.


I had hoped to find a simple plugin that'd show an input field when selecting the featured image or maybe a tab and then search for images in Unsplash or other sources.



It didn't work like that.



In fact, after installing it and clicking away all the "BUY PRO" or "GIVE ME 5 STARS" notifications on the Dashboard, I couldn't intuitively find a way to actually use this plugin. In my opinion, plugins should be made in a way that it doesn't need any description and can be used intuitively.



The plugin's settings page made it clear that the free version is more or less useless. Most features, including the core ones, aren't available (i.imgur.com/0p8Zk8s.png) unless I pay for them. I don't mind developers making money with their plugins, but this just goes too far. This also goes for the constant CTA to rate this plugin, which I'm doing right now.



In addition to that, the settings page is ugly, and the code behind it is probably not the best either. When saving something, I receive dozens of "Settings saved" notifications (i.imgur.com/Pw3rDYi.png).



I wish I could say anything positive about this plugin, but I did not find anything. I'm giving it two stars because the only useful feature I found was the bulk setting of the featured image for multiple posts.



I'm really sorry!


Free version too limited and annoying

List the most recent posts with post titles, thumbnails, excerpts, authors, categories, dates and more!
Although the plugin is built only for widget areas users reported that it works in Elementor and works in Oxygen. Whether it runs in other page builders is unknown. Please let me know in which page builder you were able to use the plugin successfully.
The plugin does not collect any personal data, so it is ready for EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.
<h4>Lightweight, simple and effective</h4>
No huge widget with hundreds of options. This plugin is based on the well-known WordPress default widget ‘Recent Posts’ and extended to display more information about the posts like e.g. thumbnails, excerpts and assigned categories. And it provides more options to build custom-taylored posts lists.
The thumbnails will be built from the featured image of a post or of the first image in the post content. If there is neither a featured image nor a content image then you can define a default thumbnail.
You can set the width and height of the thumbnails in the list. The thumbnails appear left-aligned to the post titles in left-to-right languages. In right-to-left languages they appear right-aligned.
<h4>Custom Post Type</h4>
If you want to list custom post types with the featured image, please check out our plugin <a href="https://www.kybernetik-services.com/shop/wordpress/plugin/ultimate-post-list-pro/?utm_source=wordpress_org&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=recent-post-widgets-with-thumbnail&utm_content=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">Ultimate Post List Pro</a>.
