Setting featured images for posts / pages could be very time 
consuming, especially when your media library holds hundreds of 
pictures. Very often we select the same thumbnail for posts in 
particular category. This plugin automates the process by inserting a 
thumbnail based on category / thumbnail mapping while post / page is 
being created or updated. Now bundled with FPW Post Thumbnails.

FPW Category Thumbnails

Assigns a thumbnail based on categoryid/thumbnail mapping to a post / page when the post is created or updated. Built-in FPW Post Thumbnails.

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!
