Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

PlugeThumb allows you to automatically set the featured image of your posts from either:

  • A YouTube video URL (auto fetches thumbnail)
  • A video file uploaded/selected from the WordPress Media Library (sets poster/thumbnail if available)

No more manual screenshot and upload for youtube videos. This plugin saves you time by attaching the right thumbnail whenever you add a video.
