Overview
Easy Featured Images allows you to assign featured images to posts much more efficiently, especially if you have a number of posts to go through. Normally you have to visit the edit page of each post, launch the media window and upload/assign the image.
With the plugin enabled you can do this from the post list screen. Everything words via AJAX so images are assigned instantly, without having to wait for pages to load. It uses the regular WordPress media box making the plugin 100% WordPress awesome.
Easy Featured Images also support WooCommerce, yay!
You can use the efi/post_types filter to modify the array of post types that the plugin’s functionality is assigned to. Return the final list of post types you want the plugin to be applied to:
add_filter( 'efi/post_types', 'my_post_typ…Screenshots

Very Handy
by PhilipBarrington·8 years ago
Really very simple tool at the back end. A number of plug ins I use require featured images for display, and this helps me track them down and add or edit them quickly without drilling down into full edit. Thank you very much.
Awesome

Very usefull, clean and perfect.
one suggestion is to add an option to change by/select images from those assigned to same post.
Thank you
Shows thumbs, but doesn't add new.

The thumbnail column shows up and displays the featured image. But when one is missing, clicking “Add” to add an image works, but the image doesn’t show up.
Outstanding Job
