FAQ

How to generate images ?

There are several ways :

  • You can generate an image with the button “Click to generate” on a post (works on Gutemberg & Classic Editor).
  • You can mass generate thumbnails for posts. Go into the list of your posts, choose posts or taxonomy you want to get thumbnails, and into “Bulk Actions” choose “Generate featured images”
  • You can also automatically schedule generation with crons with the Pro version, or by enabling compatibility with REST Requests, WPeMatico, FeedWordPress & WP Automatic Plugin.

Is it unlimited ?

Yes you can generate image as much as you want.

Why images aren’t generated anymore ?

If you use Google Image too much for generation in a short time, your server may be temporarily banned. In this case, you should enable Interval for the generation.

I have other pre-sale questions, can you help?

Yes! You can ask us any question through our support page.

This plugin saves you time, Until it doesn’t. When is that? When this plugin “auto generates” featured images for your posts by using real live book covers, and real live marketing materials with REAL BRAND NAMES and REAL ICONS, and REAL AUTHOR NAMES, anbd REAL BOOK TITLES… About one third of the posts we’ve made have 100% COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL in them. If I upgrade to paid Pro will I get non-copyrighted materials guaranteed?

It is very useful to find thumbnails for my thouseads of posts. I would like to have also google option in manual generate option. And also it would be really great if search words could be mixed like post name + category. Other than that, it’s a great plugin for the site owners with thousands of posts without thumbnails. i could get a pro version but both i hate subscription payments and also the price is huge comparing the features of the free version. Despite everything, this plugin deserves 5 stars all the way. Thanks dev team for the great plugin.

The plugin is easy to set up and works great for automatically generating images for my posts. I use it with envato elements. The developer is very helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs an automatic image tool.
