 * Hi everyone,
 * I’ve been searching for a solution to my problem for weeks and decided it was
   time to call in more brainpower!
 * I’m looking for a way to automatically create posts (custom post type) and assign
   a feature image, based on files uploaded via FTP.
    This has to be completely 
   automatic (check folder every minute or so), as the images will be dribbling 
   in throughout a live event.
 * I’ve got the rest of the system worked out, this is something I just havent been
   able to crack. I found the “[Automatic Featured Image Posts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-featured-image-posts/)”
   plugin, however this required a manual scan.
 * If anyone has any ideas it would be hugely appreciated!
 * Thanks,
