This is a plugin designed to do one simple job: programatically add a featured image in WordPress to existing posts. Either images already in the post, or a default image you can select.

== Description ==

This plugin adds a section to your Settings menu in the wp-admin section. Through that section you can perform two tasks:

* A scripted, one-time action updating all of the posts in your blog that do not have a featured image where the script will either try to find a suitable image to use or use one you have provided and configure it for you.
* An ongoing, continuous monitoring for posts that do not have a featured image, using the same logic to try and find a suitable featured image and setting that for the post.

You can find additional documentation for this plugin on the author's blog [blog.nickleghorn.com](https://blog.nickleghorn.com/2021/01/25/adding-a-featured-image-to-all-posts-in-wordpress-in-one-easy-click/ "blog.nickleghorn.com")

Special thanks to Robert Farago for giving me yet another massive site without any Featured Images to clean up for the impetus to finally make this available.
