I'm trying to make the featured image required (without code, I hope), so member's can't create posts with no featured image (and make the archives pages look junky).

I saw this: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/make-featured-image-required/ but it doesn't explain how to make WP associate the image uploaded via Toolset's Image Field as the Featured Image.

Thanks!

Hello,

Unfortunately as the post explains you aren't able to make the featured image required on the backend.

However if you are uploading your posts through our Toolset forms then you can use our Forms validation hook below to ensure that your form doesn't submit with an empty.
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate

Secondly you aren't able to associate a custom field and make it the featured image per say. You theme will always attempt to pull the image from the featured image field.

A workaround to this is to create your custom post template and have it overwrite your theme's template and you can set in the custom template the custom field to be used as the main image of the post.

Please let me know if this was helpful.

Thanks,
Shane
