Here is the code I used in a Post Fields Body widget. Under the Properties of that widget you make sure the Create Post Content Template box is checked. The first thing I have in the field that will create the post content is this:</p> <p>{Main Image:4:thumbnail:left}{Description:3}</p> <p>The numbers may be different for your form. This code will put the image as a thumbnail, left-aligned with the body text (I called my body widget Description) wrapped around it.</p> <p>I hope that helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-an-uploaded-image-as-the-featured-image#post-13050 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 15:39:56 +0000 Kirsten 13050@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@ guildmeister - Can you please point me to the code that you found to add the image as a thumbnail?

It is a feature we plan on looking into how we can implement in a future release. It would be possible to do now but would require a customization and WordPress development knowledge to do so. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/set-an-uploaded-image-as-the-featured-image#post-12787 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 22:00:12 +0000 guildmeister 12787@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there a way to automatically set an uploaded image as the Featured Image? I found some code to place the image as a thumbnail, so that solves half my problem. But I'd like it to be the featured image as well.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!<br /> Donna </p>
