About Require Featured Image

This plugin ensures that all of your posts have a featured image before they can be published. It can be customized to work with different post types and allows you to set a minimum image size. You can find more information and support for the plugin on the developer's website.

1.2.2 (2016.02.22)

  • Lots of code style changes for better readability and comprehensibility.

1.2.1 (2016.02.08)

  • Smattering of small changes to make code more readable and standardized in formatting.
  • Addressed and issue where a translation function was being used in the wrong place at the wrong time.

1.2.0 (2016.02.01)

  • Adding the ability to declare, check for, and enforce a minimum featured image size. Big props to @cjk508 for making that happen.

1.1.4 (2015.12.7)

  • Adding Finnish translation. This commit might/should also unlock language packs on .org, so it could be the last one!
  • Added support for WordPress v4.4

1.1.3 (2015.10.19)

  • Improving support for WP4.3 by getting right of h1/h2 targetting issue in jQuery. Thanks Jamie.
  • Added Danish translation. Thanks Jess!

1.1.2 (2015.10.01)

  • Added support for WordPress v4.3+

1.1.1 (2015.06.22)

  • Fixed an logic error that made it nearly impossible to publish posts. Apologies to all affected.

1.1.0 (2015.06.21)

  • Version bump because we finally resolved the issue people started complaining about in 1.0, where you were able to publish with an image and then go remove the image. The change was made in 1.0 to allow for people with old content without featured images to edit posts easily, which was an issue in pre-1.0. The solution, turned out to be to store an option on plugin activation, and then only start enforcing from that time forward. People with the plugin already activated will be auto-set to two weeks before when they upgrade.

1.0.10 (2015.05.24)

  • Adding Portuguese (Portugal) translation.
  • Adding Dutch translation.
  • Bumping WP version tested number.

1.0.9 (2015.04.21)

  • Brazilian Portuguese translation from matheusmb.

1.0.8 (2015.04.21)

  • VCS games…

1.0.7 (2015.04.21)

  • Adding translation to Serbian by from Andrijana Nikolic of WebHostingGeeks. Thanks Andrijana!

1.0.6 (2015.03.24)

  • Adding translation to Norwegian by Alf Otto Fagermo.

1.0.5 (2015.03.18)

  • Adding translation to German by Wolfgang Tischer.
  • Fixing typo in .pot file that was causing a string to not come through translated.

1.0.4 (2015.03.10)

  • Cleaned up settings page a fair bit.

1.0.3 (2015.01.27)

  • Fixed a mis-named function in the Javascript.

1.0.2 (2015.01.24)

  • Made as mistake during VCS games, bumping again was easiest.

1.0.1 (2015.01.24)

  • Realized that JS check to allow for edit of featured-image-less unpublished posts would not work in non-English installs. Found a markup-based way to discover the same thing.

1.0.0 (2015.01.24)

  • Big JS Refactoring so the final action statements are quite obvious.
  • Made it so that when a post is published without a featured image, the plugin doesn’t block you from changing it (say to fix a typo).
  • Big version bump! This is too widely used to not be at 1.*, and should have been sooner.

0.6.5 (2015.01.12)

  • Adding Greek translations.
  • Readme changes (4.1 support).

0.6.4 (2014.09.18)

  • Adding Arabic translation.
  • Readme changes (4.0 support).

0.6.3 (2013.04.30)

  • Adding Spanish translation from Andrew Kurtis of WebHostingHub. Thanks Andrew!

0.6.1 (2013.03.02)

  • Updating readme so the live version will change, and removing a .mo file I didn’t mean to commit.

0.6.0 (2013.03.02)

  • Big changes: Added support for languages localization. I think. I’m new at this.
  • Changed it under the hood to use a proper hook rather than a terrible hack system I’d devised before.

0.5.0 (2013.12.31)

  • Big changes: now supports all your custom post types out of the box. This can be accessed through the options page (recommended and preferred) or through a filter called ‘rfi_post_types’.
  • Created an options page to make it easier to update your custom post types and set them within the admin.
  • Some small improvements to internal code structure to increase readability and comprehensibility. This plugin may finally be big enough to benefit from some object-based design, but not for 0.5.0.

0.3.0 (2013.08.07)

  • Improved conditional fall-back PHP test of publishing because it was stopping saves.

0.2.2 (2013.08.02)
