## Installation

 1. Upload `force-featured-image` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. This plugin lets you specify which post-type requires to force a featured image
    to. It will also let you specify minimum dimensions for the image.
     Let’s say, 
    for example, you want to force a user to set an image on the default post type 
    with the following dimensions (400px * 400px). Put this code in the function.php
    of your theme :
 4.     ```
        function theme_force_featured_image( $options ){
            $options['post'] = array(
                'width'  => 400,
                'height' => 400,
            );
    
            return $options;
        }
        add_filter( 'force_featured_image_post_type', 'theme_force_featured_image' );
        ```
