Description
Featured Images: Edit & Undo does one focused job: change a small group of featured-image assignments and retain the original assignments for recovery.
- Searchable post/page selection and the native WordPress media picker.
- Filters for missing or assigned images, category and inclusive content dates.
- Thumbnail previews before any changes are applied.
- Set, replace or remove an assignment without deleting media or changing article content.
- Database transactions keep assignments and recovery records together.
- Undo skips later image edits, unavailable images and active editor locks.
- Persistent batch history and JSON recovery-record export.
- Administrator-only controls, per-post permissions and nonce-protected operations.
- No external requests, telemetry, visitor scripts, AI account or paid dependency.
Single-site WordPress with PHP 8.1+, the standard WordPress database driver and InnoDB tables is required. Batches are limited to 50 items from one selection page. SQLite, multisite, custom post types and custom database-routing layers are unsupported.
Keep the plugin active while you need undo. Reactivation makes old records export-only. Deletion removes all plugin history but leaves posts, media and image assignments intact. Direct database edits bypassing WordPress hooks cannot always be detected. Third-party external side effects cannot be rolled back. Read README.md for full recovery and compatibility guidance.
Privacy
This plugin makes no external requests and loads no remote assets: everything it shows and runs is served from your own site. It does not track you, phone home, or send data anywhere, and it sets no cookies and runs no visitor-facing scripts.
Undo records (batch identifiers, administrator user IDs, timestamps, selected post and image IDs, and recovery states) and a few settings are stored only in your own site’s database: the plugin’s own journal tables and options. Exported JSON files contain those same fields and are created only when you choose to export.
Uninstalling (deleting) the plugin removes only its own data: its journal tables, including tables migrated from earlier private builds, its settings options, and its short-lived notice data. Your posts, media files and featured-image assignments are left untouched.
Installation
- Back up your site and test on staging, then upload the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add Plugin > Upload Plugin.
- Activate Featured Images: Edit & Undo.
- Open AI Plugin Factory > Featured Images as an administrator.
- Select posts/pages, choose the change and review the preview before applying.
FAQ
-
Where do I find the plugin and its guide?
-
Open AI Plugin Factory > Featured Images. The shared menu lists only active AI Plugin Factory tools. Read the illustrated product guide for the preview, apply and undo workflow.
-
Do I need an account or activation key?
-
No. All included features run locally without registration, activation keys or usage reporting. There is no trial expiry. The 50-item batch size is a processing limit, not a paid usage allowance; you can run additional batches.
-
Does it delete images?
-
No. Removal clears only the featured-image assignment. The original media stays in the library.
-
Can undo overwrite a later edit?
-
Normal WordPress image changes are tracked. Undo skips a row when its current image or tracked revision differs from the batch result. Direct SQL edits bypassing WordPress hooks cannot always be detected.
-
What happens if the request is interrupted?
-
An unfinished database transaction rolls back. If the response is lost after commit, refresh history to check the saved result. Reapplying a completed batch does not repeat changes.
-
What data is stored?
-
Your local WordPress database stores batch identifiers, administrator user IDs, timestamps, selected post/image IDs and recovery states. The plugin sends none of this data externally. Exported JSON contains those same fields.
-
What happens on deactivation or deletion?
-
Deactivation retains history. Reactivation starts a new tracking period and makes old records export-only. Deleting the plugin removes its history and tracking data permanently without modifying posts or media.
