Automatically generates infographics for blog posts using the Infography.in API and sets them as featured images.

== Description ==

Infography Auto Featured Image is a powerful plugin that automatically generates high-quality, relevant infographics for your WordPress posts and sets them as the featured image. 

It uses the [Infography.in](https://infography.in) API to analyze your post content and create a visually appealing summary image.

**Features:**

*   **Automatic Generation**: Generates an infographic as soon as you publish a post.
*   **Background Processing**: Uses WordPress Cron to generate images in the background, ensuring your editor stays fast.
*   **Smart Analysis**: Summarizes your post content to create meaningful infographics.
*   **Override Control**: Choose whether to overwrite existing featured images or skip if one is already set.
*   **Per-Post Control**: Disable generation for specific posts via a simple meta box.

**Note**: You need an API key from [Infography.in](https://infography.in) to use this plugin.

== Third-Party Service Disclosure ==
