<p>A widget that permits blogmasters to share and exchange links to their posts based on common taxonomy, across their blogs (ie. posts having the same tags or categories). Each link is automatically associated to a thumbnail image.</p>
<h4>Share your posts!</h4>
<p>This WordPress plugin installs a <strong>new sidebar widget</strong> that can display <strong>links to relevant posts on other WordPress blogs</strong> with <strong>automatic thumbnail images</strong>.<br />
The links are chosen based on common language and taxonomy (ie posts in the same language having the same tag(s) or category).<br />
The plugin uses <strong>cache</strong> to avoid multiple database and RSS query.<br />
It has its own widget control pannel.<br />
The look & feel of the post2peer widget is very close to its cousin, the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/" rel="ugc">YD Recent Posts Widget</a>.</p>

<h4>Why share you posts?</h4>
<p>By using this plugin, you will automagically allow all your posts to be registered in the Post2Peer database (this uses you regular WordPress rss feed, plus a special crawler to generate thumbnails for every post).<br />
Once your posts are in the database, they will be elligible to be displayed as links on other person’s blogs (those using the plugin).<br />
Because the link selection algorithm is based on you posts’ taxonomy (tags and categories), links to your posts get to be displayed in a relevant context.<br />
This should draw new visitors to your site and improve your SEO.<br />
The inclusion in the directory is an added bonus, immediately generating deep backlinks to your site’s posts.</p>
<h4>Why display links to other’s blog posts?</h4>
<p>By enabling the Post2Peer plugin, you are able to present you site’s visitor with up-to-date, real-time info relevant to the subject the visitor is currently browsing.<br />
The links you display will very probably complement the info in your own post, so it is a way to position your site as a comprehensive reference on the given subject.<br />
The Post2Peer widget is like an enhanced RSS widget that will display relevant content agregated from a wide database of other WordPress blogs that publish similarly focused features.<br />
The fact that the content is always presented in a visual way (with a small thumbnail image next to each link) adds to the visual attractiveness of your page.</p>
<h4>It’s fun!</h4>
<p>Based on a peer-to-peer concept, the whole process will increase in quality and eventually grow to a wide community of bloggers supporting each other by automatically exchanging relevant links to posts across blogs.<br />
Even in the early stage of its deployment, this plugin is fun because it may link blog posts together in a way that you would never have expected.</p>

<p><strong>NOTE: This plugin functionality is guaranteed by more than 10,000 active installs. But before installing this plugin bear in mind that its only purpose is to ADD the feature image ID to your post (in the same way that you would do using WP editor), it does not remove ANYTHING after deactivation.<br />
Before asking for support please read <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-add-thumbnail/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/please-read-before-posting-4" rel="ugc">this support thread</a></strong></p>
<h4>How it works?</h4>
<p>Checks if the post (any post type with thumbnail support, including pages) has already a featured image associated, and if not sets it using one of the following methods:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Dynamically, for old published posts, the featured images are set only when needed to show them in the frontend. This means that the featured image is set (only first time) when a visitor loads the page where it needs to be shown.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For new content, the featured image is set in the publishing process.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>No options page to setup</strong>, simply install and activate.</p>
<p>If you want to exclude certain post type (e.g. pages), you can do it by using a filter. See <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-add-thumbnail/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a> for more details.</p>
<p><strong>Easy Add Thumbnail doesn’t add any plugin data</strong> to your WordPress database. It simply adds the _thumbnail_id meta key with the ID of the attachment to be used as feature image (just the same that WordPress does when you set it manually).</p>
<p>Therefore it requires to have attached/uploaded at least one image to the post. If there’s not any image attached to the post, this plugin can’t help you.</p>
<p>Easy Add Thumbnail has not any control over how/when/where your featured image is displayed in your site, <strong>the display of the featured image in your site is TOTALLY controlled by your theme</strong>, this includes size, position, display it or not…</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 4.7 or higher.</li>
<li>PHP 5.6 or higher.</li>
</ul>


Easy Add Thumbnail

Automatically sets the featured image to the first image uploaded into the post (any post type with thumbnail support). So easy like that...
