Attach multiple featured images to posts or other objects.
This WordPress plugin requires at least WordPress 4.4.
This plugin replaces the 'Featured Image' post metabox with one for selecting multiple Featured Images in your (custom) post (type)'s edit page. Using the Media Library you can attach any number of images to the post. The plugin uses the default post thumbnail data structure (metakey _thumbnail_id), so your default post thumbnail logic still works, just with the first image of your selection.
To display multiple images in your theme, use get_featured_images(). For an example, see the following code:
// Make sure the plugin is available
if ( function_exists( 'featured_images' ) ) {
// When not in The Loop, provide a post ID to the function.
foreach ( get_featured_images( $post_id ) as $attachment_id ) {
// Display the image, for example using `wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id )`
}
}
If you download Featured Images manually, make sure it is uploaded to "/wp-content/plugins/featured-images/".
Activate Featured Images in the "Plugins" admin panel using the "Activate" link.
This plugin is not hosted in the official WordPress repository. Instead, updating is supported through use of the GitHub Updater plugin by @afragen and friends.
