Add url from Custom Field as ‘Featured Image’. Code not working

so you’re images are already in a custom field?

you could use the Get the Image plugin…. i know it will pull your thumbnail from a custom field and i think it might automatically set it as the featured image, tho it has been a while and i’m not sure of that.
