Basically what I need is in this post. But it seems there is no update on that feature:

Hi Nayeem,
Just to clarify:
I uploaded the packages via the Bulk import option, all in the same category. So when I show that category on my page, it only shows the image name and a download button (I tried all templates, but none shows the image itself) for that I need [preview] and [preview] only shows the featured image. Which is not automatically set when I use the Bulk import option of WPDM.
For that you need to upload a CSV file it says on your forms. As I didn’t want to create a CSV from zero (which will take hours to create for these images), I download/export the current packages via the Bulk Export as a CSV file. This contains: ID, post_title, post_status, files, etc… But doesn’t have a preview column. What I did was adding a preview column in this file, put the link to the image in there and upload it back with the bulk import CSV option. But that didn’t change anything.
Maybe I need to do something else in this CSV file or upload?
Kind regards,
Joep
Hi Nayeem,
The CSV export from WPDM has an ID already for each row. Is that what you mean?
I tried both plugins, but they can’t help with getting the image from the downloadfile into the featured image.
I saw that you have a shortcode for PDF files, that works, but why not for an image?
Kind regards,
Joep
Hi Nayeem,
Thanks for your response.
I tried this, but that didn’t work. Maybe I need to do something else? Otherwise I have to make a CSV by hand and it would still be faster to just click on the featured image in WordPress. This is what I did:
1. I downloaded the current packages (each image = 1 file) as CSV file.
2. I added a column named preview and copied the URL to the image in this cell for every image
3. Uploaded the CSV back to WPDM, but nothing changed.
Is there a fast way to do this? Without hours of work for either creating a CSV row for each and every image?
Kind regards,
Joep
