Manage Admin Columns

This plugin adds a featured image column to WordPress Dashboard. It automatically adds a column to any post type which supports a featured image. It’s an improvement from the plugin Add Featured Image Column.

If the post has no featured image, it displays a “No image” svg icon to indicate this.
If the featured image is broken, it displays a red “Broken image” svg icon to indicate this.
The plugin opens a lightbox when click on featured image.
You can enable or disable the blue border on hover.
You can enable or disable the lightbox feature.
You can choose the shape and size of the thumbnail displayed at the dashboard.
