Upload bulk images with titles in Wordpress

Upload images: Put all the images in a folder on your server and the image file names are exactly what you want the post titles to be.

Create a Custom PHP Script: Create a custom PHP script that uploads the images and assigns them as featured images to new posts.

echo "Upload complete!";
?>  

Upload the Script: Save this script as upload-images.php or something similar.

Place the script in the root directory of your WordPress installation or wherever you can access WordPress core functions.

Run the Script: Visit the script URL (e.g., http://yourdomain.com/upload-images.php), and it will automatically create posts with the image names as titles and set the corresponding image as the featured image.
