Overview
The Easy Add Thumbnail plugin is designed to streamline the process of setting featured images for your WordPress posts and pages. With over 10,000 active installs, this plugin ensures that your content always features an image by automatically assigning one if none is provided. It seamlessly integrates with the WordPress editor, setting featured images dynamically for old posts when needed for the frontend display and during the publishing process for new content. This plugin is straightforward to use, requiring no additional configuration pages. It operates by adding the _thumbnail_id meta key to posts, ensuring no extra data is added to the WordPress database. Ideal for users who desire a hassle-free way to manage featured images, Easy Add Thumbnail respects theme settings for image display and can be adjusted to exclude certain post types via filters.

Funciona a la perfección. Lo utilicé luego de migrar una web que no contaba con imagen destacada.
Ahora, una mejora interesante es que se pueda especificar el post-type al que se quiere intervenir; también, poder determinar que se lance únicamente cuando subas imágenes al post.

Very nice, simple, super effective plugin. It would be nice to set a default image as a “no image here” like image if no images are in the post.

Great plugin that does what it says, adds featured images from the first image in each post when a featured image hasn’t been set. Easy Peazy. Helps tremendously with magazine themes and others that expect a featured image. Thanks for the excellent plugin!
