Doesn’t Create Any Featured Images Anymore

    Not sure what if any changes you’ve made over the past couple months, but I just migrated some posts to a new domain and despite almost every post having an image in it your plugin won’t generate any featured images.

    To replicate this problem simply create a new site, import some posts using WP All Import, download external images, and run the plugin. The plugin will create zero featured images.

    Hi.

    Check the plugin settings. Which generation method is selected?

    The generation method selected is “find in post” but it doesn’t seem to find or at least generate anything. When I run the scan it simply scans each post without saying anything other than done unless there is no post in the image at all in which case it shows a red background with a notice about not finding anything.

    I was expecting each post with an image to result in a green background and a number in the image size column which is empty.

    I’ve also noticed that pages are being scanned even though I only have posts checked.

    Send a link to one of the posts on your site that has an image in the text.

    You can also change the settings to generate the Title of the post on a colored background.

    Can I DM you the link? The content is NSFW and I’m concerned WP might suspend me for posting the link.

    Could my robots.txt and noindex tags be an issue? I can’t think of why honoring robots.txt would be a good idea for a plugin like this but you never know, some developers might program their stuff to honor robots.txt by default.

    Could Cloudflare be part of the problem? It seems like the plugin scans the posts just fine but for whatever reason it just doesn’t set the images it finds as featured.

    Just sent a request with a link to the site. I also included an example post which despite having a giant image at the beginning has no featured image despite running the plugin.

    When right clicking on the broken thumbnail and selecting open image in new tab while running the plugin, I get an error in my browser where the URL should be which included “Undefined index: thumbnail_url”

    According to the debug log all images are being detected but the plugin simply doesn’t set the detected URLs as the featured images for the posts.

    There are no error messages in the log so I have no idea why the detected images are not set as featured.

    When viewing images in the media section they don’t say “uploaded to” anything on this site like they did on the original before the export/import. It seems they were all auto-downloaded just fine but not attached to the posts they were found in.

    Found this error in my File Manager php error log for the domain. Redacted for privacy reasons:
