 * Hello
 * I use Wp all import with custom fields. My question is how to detect a custom
   field of Featured image?

 * Hi [@apollo24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apollo24/),
 * > My question is how to detect a custom field of Featured image?
 * Is this a custom featured image field added by another plugin/theme? If so, these
   instructions should work: [http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/custom-fields/theme-plugin-fields/](http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/custom-fields/theme-plugin-fields/).
 * If I misunderstood, can you please elaborate and show me a screenshot of the 
   field you’re trying to detect?

 * Hey [@apollo24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apollo24/),
 * Thanks for clarifying. We actually intentionally disable auto-detecting that 
   field – instead of importing directly into it, you should just use the “Set the
   first image to the Featured Image (_thumbnail_id)” option in the “Images” section
   of the import.
 * If you really need to import directly into the featured image custom field, then
   you can just type in “_thumbnail_id” in the custom fields section.
