Require Featured Image

There are two methods: one is some strong Javascript on the edit screen that makes it very clear to people working there that they need to add a featured images and makes it impossible for them to press the Publish button unless they’ve added on.

If that failed for any reason, it also hooks into the publish method and stops publishing when no featured image is present. This should prevent publishing even if an author has Javascript off, or if publishing is attempted through more obscure methods.

To simplify the settings page, and avoid confusion, only content types that support Featured Images will appear on the page. It wouldn’t make sense for us to try to enforce that a content type that can’t have a featured image set can’t be published without it. If you want to require that a content type has a featured image but it doesn’t currently support it, get in touch with your developer, fiddle with the register_post_type() call creating the content type yourself, or get in touch with us at Press Up , we love to help!

Because you want it to be required that your posts have featured images before they be published. If you’d like that your posts have featured images, but it’s not a show-stopper for your editorial standards, this plugin may not be for you.

Yep, just for different “custom post types.” In your left sidebar under Settings, you should see “Req Featured Image”. There are options. You can choose which Post Types you want check as well as setting a minimum size for the featured image. Happy publishing!

Yes. We’re currently (early 2016) hoping that these can start being done on traslate.wordpress.org , so if you’d like to contribute one and are familiar with the process, go ahead and do it there.

As the dust is still settling on that process, we will continue supporting other languages via contributions of translations which will be rolled into the next point release of the plugin, as we’ve done historically.
