    Whenever i create post myself and click publish… The post is published with no featured image… I have to click on publish and then click on update to actually make this plugin work..

    Same with wpematico

    None of the post automatically gets the featired image… Wpematico makes drafts for me… Then i have to open each draft click publish then click on updarw to make this plugin work…

    At first i qas publishing directly with wpematico almost 59 post get published but none of them uad featured image.. so now i uad to shift to manually publishing and then updating the post

    Hello,

    Thanks for using the plugin.

    Actually, I tried Magic Post Thumbnail with the last Wpematico version (2.2.2) and it works well for my part.
    Maybe the problem are drafts. I thing the plugin works only with published post (no drafts posts).
    Can you confirm that all your posts from wpematico are created as drafts ?

    Thanks.

    Wp-ematico has a “paid” add-on that is pretty much a rip-off of Magic Post Thumbnail” (same UI, etc). See here:https://etruel.com/downloads/wpematico-thumbnail-scratcher/.
    To get MPC to run on post save, I created a plugin to run it on post publish/save.
    Theoretically, you could use wp-ematico’s custom hooks addon to do this, but I have no experience with it and the Estefan Truel’s documentation is lacking.

    Yes you are right. I saw that the author took my free plugin without asking me, to include in a paying pakcage
    The problem with this package is that I think it’s not updated everytime I update the plugin. Also, I’m not sure that it gives more features than just install wpematico + MPT.

    Hi Alex!
    I have:

    add_action('save_post', 'mpc_run_on_save');
function mpc_run_on_save($post_ID)  {
$urlg = 'https://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'wp-admin/admin.php?page=magic_post_thumbnail%2Finc%2Fadmin%2Fmain.php&ids='.$post_ID;
//$urlg = 'https://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/wp-admin/admin.php?page=magic_post_thumbnail/inc/admin/main.php&ids='.$post_ID;
//$urlg = 'https://'.$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].'/wp-admin/admin.php?page=magic_post_thumbnail/inc/admin/main.php&ids='.$post_ID;
$curl_handle=curl_init();
  curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,$urlg);
  curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,10);
  curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
  $buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
  curl_close($curl_handle);
}

    to make MPT run on publish (with wp-ematico). Doesn’t work reliably, however.
    By the way, MPT still doesn’t work if /wp-content/ is in a non-standard path (but neither does wp-ematico; the cron won’t run).
    I am really thinking of changing from wp-ematico, I don’t support developers who rip off other developers without attribution (or, in this case, compensation). That’s one of the reasons that I quit sharing plugin code. I wish I hadn’t paid for the commercial version, but I will never upgrade for the same reason. Its not updated because Estefan just ripped off your code and put in his repository.
    Also, you have another English grammar error:
    Thumbnail's image of [Post Title here] already exists
    should be:
    Thumbnail image of [Post Title here] already exists.
    Kindest Regards and Thanks!

    Yeah! All posts are created as draft… For now, I am going to try it with published posts … Let’s hope it works!

    Are you saying that wpe creates all posts as drafts first? At what point are then then published?
    I have had no problems with MPC bulk creating featured images in bulk from the posts page, except bear in mind that the bottom dropdown menu item, “Generate Magic Post Thumbnail, does NOT, for some reason, work (note to Alex).
    I use the plugin “Quick Featured Images” to show all the featured images on the posts page.

    Brian. Thanks for your help. I’ll add the translation into the next update.
    About wpematico author, yeah it’s not fair. Open source does not mean that we can act like dumbs.. But well, it’s his problem.

    About making the plugin work with wpematico, it’s strange because I thought it worked without additional code, I’ve tried last version for my part and it works. I’ll try to see about others installs if it’s the same or not and adapt your code if needed.

    Also, about the problem with bulk creating, I think this is the same problem you report me the last time. Actually I have no clue how to fiw that (with changed plugin folder). On my install, it works 😮 I also tried relative & absolute path, with différent ways and it doesn’t seem to be better for you. If I have some time, I’ll try to find why yo got this problem with this kind of WP install.

    soodsid, Ok ! Tell me if it works or not. If not, I’ll try to push a version with the code from Brian.
