    Hi…..on installation of a new theme, I now have thousands of posts with no featured image.

    However the images in the post are in a nextgen gallery which only appears as a shortcode in the post back-end.

    Can your plugin take the first image from the gallery shortcode and set it as the featured image for these posts…..in bulk I mean…..thanks Gareth

    Yes, it uses the NextGen shortcode to detect the respective image and to set it as featured.

    In the case of thousands of posts a server timeout can occur. To prevent that don’t run a single process for all posts. Instead use the filters to reduce the number of affected posts per run and repeat the process with altered filter settings for the next posts. That way you will get all posts done easily and quickly.
