Add Featured Image Column

Description

This is a little plugin which adds a featured image column to WordPress. It automatically adds a column to any post type which supports a featured image. The code is pulled almost directly from my plugin Display Featured Image for Genesis.

  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

Still works with latest version of WordPress (6.6.2). Thank you for your good work.

Excellent

Have been using this plugin for years on nearly every site I've produced for clients. Simple and works perfectly!

Handy, simple, almost perfect

Have just installed it and started using it. Works perfectly. Does what it says. I find it very useful. Thank you. (One small negative: it does not work for custom post types if you also use the Admin Column plugin.)

It does what it says

It's a simple plugin, which does what it says and solved the need I had. However, as it is not configurable it is limited. For example, there are plugins that add a thumbnail to their CPTs and putting this one in comes out both thumbnails. For this and other reasons I have created a plugin based on this one that allows you to choose in which CPT the image is shown, besides customizing, shape, size and other improvements. It is Manage admin columns

Works great!

O melhor plugin do gênero. Baixe, ative e as featured images aparecerão como mágica. Parabéns ao desenvolvedor!

Nice Add-On for Space Saving

By Millennial Bella (ikimmybee) on April 12, 2018

If your blog's space allotment is limited, this could be a space-saving tool for you! With the plugin, you don't have to store images on your server, but rather utilize outside photo's links to set as your featured photo for blogs. For example, if you like to host with Flickr, simply copy the url of the image there and paste it on your WP blog via the plugin and you're all set! Isn't that cool?! ^_^

Just the right size

By tipkilby on November 13, 2017

I just tried another plugin before this one (that does the same thing), and its images were way too small for my feeble eyesight. I immediately came back to try this one, and I'm glad I did...because the image size is perfect for me. Thanks!

Great but...

This is a really useful plugin. The only issue is with Woocommerce. The "Products" screen already shows a featured/product image - so this plugin just adds a second column of exactly the same pictures. In a perfect world we'd be able to turn it off for Woocommerce. Otherwise it's brilliant.

Simple and effective

Does what it says. I appreciate that it works well and doesn't have any settings. If i was to change anything it would be to shorten the column name or increase its width slightly to keep the title to one line.
