This plugin generates Featured Image for all posts at once.
It is based on WordPres 2.9+ feature – Post Thumbnails. This plugin takes the first image (by default) from post body and assignes it as a post Featured Image. It helps if your theme supports post thumbnails feature and you want to assign Featured Image for all your existing posts.
Plugin performs mass manipulation on posts Featured Image property and uploads files if they are stored externally. Don’t forget to backup your files and database before using this plugin.
It displays log of success/fails. There is also a feature to remove all Featured Images from all posts – this only changes post setting, no actual files are removed.
