Force Featured Image

Ever wanted to force a user to publish a post with a featured image of a certain dimension? Search no more.

When active this plugin adds a column to the All Posts/All Pages and where supported the All Custom Post Type admin views. This column, “Thumb”, will display a thumbnail of the featured image 
 or post thumbnail so you can easily determine the content that is missing an image.
You can also make inline edits that allow you to change the thumb/image from the All Posts/All Pages/All Custom Post Type view without having to edit the post.
Now the plugin is translatable. Using tools such as Poedit along with localized / international versions of WordPress, FIAT can display user supplied translations of its text.

Featured Image Admin Thumb

Very useful. Thanks.

When bulk updating featured images, this is so much faster than having to open each post, add featured image, save, and return to posts list. Bravo!

Crazy huge time saver


This plugin did exactly what I wanted.  It showed me in my admin list which posts didn't have an image and let me click a link right there inline to add the right one.  Nailed it.  Couldn't be happier.


Worked perfectly, saved me some time


This plugin is very useful for me on many WordPress websites. Thanks for it!

Adds inline thumbnail image to admin columns on Post/post types view (where supported). Click to easily set/change the featured image.
