Hello @fichtenelch.
I understand Quick Featured Images does not add the featured image when you save a new post but when you edit an existing post, right?
I can imagine that another plugin intervenes in this process and prevents Quick Featured Images from receiving the required information when saving a new post.
Can you please disable all other plugins for testing and see if it works then? If not, please also switch to a standard WordPress theme to ensure there is no unknown additional code.
If nothing works, please share the screenshot of your Quick Featured Images settings. Thanks!
Hello Kybernetik Services,
thanks for your answer. I tested the plugin on a tastewp dummy instance with the Twenty Twenty-Three-theme and no active plugins other than Quick Featured Images. I used the ‘Default featured images for future posts’-option (‘Vorgegebene Bilder’). Then I created a rule that replaces the featured image for all posts with a certain tag. It works when re-saving existing posts but not when publishing new posts.
Hi – I’ve just installed the Quick Featured Images plugin on a private WP-site. This time, it works as expected, i.e. the featured image based on a rule is automatically set when saving or publishing new posts. That means the problem must be within the tastewp-environment, therefore the ticket can be closed. Thanks again & kind regards.
Thank you for informing me. I’m glad you were able to solve the problem.
If you like the plugin and want to support my work, please leave your (I hope positive) review here https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/quick-featured-images/reviews/#new. Thank you!
