I asked this same question on the StudioPress forum, but thought I would also ask my friends here.

I just added Genesis last week and have been thrilled so far. I am working with multiple sites and have come across a conversion issue that I am stuck on. (I did search the forums, found one topic discussing this, but it did not answer my question.)

In Thesis, I used the “Post Image” to display a CC licenses Flickr image at the top of each post and on the homepage. You can see an example of how I use it at Narrow Bridge Finance, a future Genesis site that has not yet been converted. Note, the post image let me link to an outside side (Flickr) for the image, it is not hosted within my WordPress installation (though I am not opposed to hosting them myself, that was just the best apparent option at the time and I never changed my strategy.)

I want to use those same images in my new Genesis installations (first site setup was The Israel Situation).

Is there a plugin/script/tool I can use to convert those post images to featured images in Genesis? I have 2,757 posts to update on those two sites, in addition to other sites I run which used the same method, so an automated approach is really the only option.

There's a plugin called Cache Images that may help… It will at least get the posts into your Wordpress media library – I'm not sure if it will make them featured or not, but there are ways to pull the first post image as featured. Hope that helps!

I tried out that plugin, but it did not work for Thesis post images. I gave in and found someone to do the work on ODesk.

Did they have to switch them over manually? I'd be interested to know if there was a quick fix, for future reference.

I created a new plugin that automates this process. It is only $10 if anyone is interested.
