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.
