If you run a WordPress site with multi author. To remind your authors to always upload a featured image every time they submit a WordPress post, you should install the plugin Require Featured Image and then activate it. You do not need to change any settings, as soon as this plugin is activated, a notification box will display in your post edit screen, telling the user that the post need a featured image. You won’t be able to publish your post unless you add a featured image.
To make the featured image required for WordPress posts, you can use a combination of custom code and validation techniques. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this:
Add Custom Code to Functions.php:
Open your theme's functions.php file, which is located in your theme's directory, and add the following code:
php
Copy code
function wpb_required_featured_image( $content, $post ) {
if ( 'post' === $post->post_type && ! has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) {
$content .= '<p style="color: red;">Please set a featured image for your post!</p>';
}
return $content;
}
add_action( 'admin_notices', 'wpb_required_featured_image', 10, 2 );
This code will display a notice in the post editor if a featured image is not set when a user tries to publish or update a post.
Customize Error Message (Optional):
You can customize the error message by modifying the text inside the <p> tag in the code above.
Testing:
Save the changes to functions.php and test the functionality by creating or editing a post in the WordPress admin dashboard. If you try to publish or update a post without setting a featured image, you should see the error message displayed.
By following these steps, you can enforce the requirement of having a featured image for WordPress posts. This ensures consistency and improves the visual appeal of your website by encouraging users to include relevant images with their posts.
