- On the right side menu, select the Featured Image meta box and click on Set Featured Image.
- The Featured Image popup will appear, including four tabs. Two are default WordPress tabs and the other two are created by our plugin.
Generate Image
- In this tab, you can create new images. The tab is divided into three sections:
- Media Library
This section is available on the left side of the screen and here you will find all of the available media of your WordPress.
- Canvas/ Play Area
This section is the middle one and here you can drag and drop elements and images and arrange them.
- Settings
This section is available on the right side of the screen and here you can set the canvas dimensions and add a file name of the generated image.
- Now from the Settings Section, set the canvas dimensions i.e height and width.
- Click on the image that you want to edit and set its size on the canvas.
- By using your cursor you can; rotate the image, resize it, and can drag it anywhere on the canvas.
- Now click on another image that you want to merge with the previous one and set its size as well.
- Similarly, you can add multiple images on the same canvas, as every image will create its own layer, and once you have done editing, enter the file name and click on generate.
- To set this generated image as your featured image, click on the Set Featured Image button. The image will be saved and added to your Media Library.
Once you create an image then it will be available in the WordPress media library and you can use it anywhere else, after downloading the file.
Text to Image (AI)
- In this tab, you can generate AI images by providing a description in the text field.
- By clicking on the Generate button, OpenAI will create and show you unique images based on your provided description.
- Now, to save an Image, hover over the mouse on it and it will display a button “Save to Media”.
- Click on it to save the Image in the Media Gallery.
To set this generated image as your featured image, navigate to the Media Library tab, select your generated AI image, and click on the Set Featured Image button.
Similarly, by following the above steps, you can also create any featured images that include Learning Management System post images and eCommerce product images as well.
