About this plugin

When active this plugin adds a column to the All Posts/All Pages and where supported the All Custom Post Type admin views. This column, “Thumb”, will display a thumbnail of the featured image
or post thumbnail so you can easily determine the content that is missing an image.

You can also make inline edits that allow you to change the thumb/image from the All Posts/All Pages/All Custom Post Type view without having to edit the post.

Now the plugin is translatable. Using tools such as Poedit along with localized / international versions of WordPress, FIAT can display user supplied translations of its text.

Questions

You don’t see the thumb column and the thumbnails in that column

After checking that the plugin is enabled, be sure to click Screen Options if you don’t immediately see the column and ensure “Thumb” has a checkmark next to it

My thumbnail column shows posts with blank areas in the thumb column

During testing I found that if a post has a featured image assigned but does not show a thumbnail it was because the image file is missing it will show up blank within the sorted posts that do show thumbnails
