Hi Jeff,
The thumbnails get saved into the regular WordPress Media Library. Just go into the Media tab, and all the created thumbnails should have shiba_thumb in their title. So do a search for shiba_thumb, to get all of the images it created.

Where does the plug-in save the thumbnail to? I ran this and don’t like the image it chose for many of my posts without images (it chose an ad in the sidebar.) I’d like to clear the thumbnails and start fresh, if possible. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Do you mean you want to use a chosen image as the default featured image? That is a good feature to have and not too difficult to do. I will definitely need to include it in future updates.

Currently, the plugin only looks for the first inserted image and uses that.

Thanks for the great suggestion.

hello,shiba

i used custom widget. Now im thinking of using this plugin. Before that, is it possible to use this plugin to set featured image automatically?

Let say, i have an image in my post but havent insert yet. I want this plugin to grab the image as featured image without inserting to the post. Just set it as featured image.

Is it possible? I tried many plugin but none work.

Lastly, keep up your awesome work.

Hi Erin,
It would all depend on what your want to ultimately do with your thumbnails, what you want to use the custom fields for, and what tools/plugins you are using or plan to use.

Using the WordPress Post Thumbnail system has the advantage that it is part of WP core and so will likely be adopted into many plugins in the future. I am already using it in my Shiba Gallery Plugin, and it allows me to do much more than I was able to previously.

This is amazing! May I ask, I have a whole bunch of thumbnails with custom fields. Should I make them into post thumbnails with your plugin, or do you suggest I just use conditional statements to display them?
