Feature image is not getting set

Replies: 0

I am creating posts programmatically from api. I am able to populate featured image from URL field automatically. But it does not setup featured image until I manually edit the post and click on Update.

Kindly see the screenshot https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qPmdSTR8ecg0Th6P1aI5xfA_MKpi5QnA/view?usp=sharing

You can see in above screenshot, featured image from URL is already setup but it did not setup the main featured image automatically.

Also I tried the bulk editing feature of WordPress by bulk updating the posts that have featured images from URL populated but it does not update the featured image. The only way I have is edit the single post manually and then click update then it sets the featured image.

The issue is I have to populate hundreds of posts and in this way I have to manually click on Update button by editing each single post.

Any solution would be appreciated.

Thanks
