Yes, I’ve just tested it on a fresh wordpress installation and it didn’t work from me as well. However it was working before. I don’t know what happened.

This is the correct plugin:

You should have the option “Disable for this post” pre-cheched for all the new posts. Also in the settings make sure the option:

“Set the first attached image in a post as the featured image” is selected.

Hey, for me it was fixed by using the following plugin:

The author of the plugin helped me to resolve the issue.

Thank you ??

@esmi, thank you, its me that I provided the credentials, please edit the post and delete the credentials information. Thank you.

@esmi thank you for your advice. This is just a test site and is not going to exist after couple of days, it will be deleted forever.

Awesome! Yes, please log in ??

I see. Alright, thank you for your time on this. I will look at the suggested plugin. Also if you release this feature, please let me know ??

No, problem. Please continue. This is a test site, so no feel free to test ??

Great, I have just deleted the plugin by FTP.

The new feature is still not working even on a fresh installation of wordpress. For example if you login on the following link:

I used the post content of the above post and created the post with an image, but as you can see the featured image is still not set. If I choose from content it is setting it but not from the image URL.

The “Disable for this post” wasn’t checked, I’ve just tested it with removing the code you mentioned and it is still not setting the featured image.

I found that the hook ‘afift_set_featured_image’ wasn’t called. I changed it with ‘save_post’ and then I found that the images array was empty. Probably because I am trying with a new post and it has still not having the “attached” images existing?

Hey,

The following post is having an image in its content like in the screenshot:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3mSdYwJ6ErqVDlMclZLTmNhaG8

but when I save it, the image does not become a featured image.

I have tried it with the checkbox enabled on. Is there some combination in the settings I should use? I used ‘Text to Write onto Generated Images’ – all 3 – post title, post excerpt and post content, but it is not setting the image into the post content as “featured”.

Thank you very much for your time.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve also tried your plugin and it is great, but it does not do what I am looking for.

The desired behavior is to set the featured image from one image in the post content. For example if it finds some image URL in the post content, then it sets it as a featured image if there is no featured image manually set. This will save time of manual work.
