When we decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2012\/06\/post-thumbnails-wordpress-theme\/\">display post thumbnails<\/a> in our theme, adding post thumbnail support to the WordPress theme was easy, but the fact that you needed to allocate a Featured image for each post was a very laborious task as you had to manually edit each post, go to the Media Gallery for the article and then label a featured image.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/featured-image.png\" alt=\"Featured Images\" border=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I tried it for a few posts and then gave up.

Simply choose the image and click the link, and you have labelled a Featured image for the post.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26940\" title=\"multiple-featured-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/multiple-featured-image.png\" alt=\"multiple featured image\" width=\"467\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/multiple-featured-image.png 467w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/multiple-featured-image-300x103.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So this allows you to allot Featured Images to multiple posts quickly, without visiting each post!
