   Having multiple post thumbnails seemed like a complex task until I found this tutorial. Your explanation and recommended plugins made it straightforward. Thanks for simplifying the process!

   This is very handy for many purposes that special images might be needed (eg mobile-image).

   BUT
   Is it possible for your future plans, to provide the ability of an array of images, instead of single?

   For example, the developer might need to add an album-images instance, in order that user can select multiple images to be provided to an album.

   • WPBeginner Support

     We will look into possibly adding that in the future but you may need to look into a plugin for that level of customization.

   hi, everything works down to this paragraph.

   “Even though you can add a secondary featured image in your WordPress admin, it will not display on your site until you configure your theme. All you need to do is add the following code inside your post loop where you want to display it. This could be in your single.php (for single posts), archive.php (only for archive pages), etc.”

   Can you explain a little more about where to place this part of the code within the theme? Thx!

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     That would depend on your specific theme, normally it should have the code to display your content and you would place the code in that area, for understanding the loop you would want to take a look at the page: https://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/loop/
     For where to place the code for how you’re wanting it, you would want to reach out to your theme’s support.

   I want to add two images; one as a thumbnail (in search engine, archives, homepage or any other place it showed) and another one as featured image (Reader will see this image only at the time of reading content).

   Is there any solution for my problem?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     You would want to reach out to the support for the theme you are using for that type of customization.

   Hi. Could you possibly update older articles? This one uses a plugin that hasn’t been updated in over 2 years.

   Just wondering.

     Hi, Please tell me how to access the second thumbnail. For example we can access the default featured image by “the_post_thumbnail()”.

   Why isn’t the “Multiple Post Thumbnails” updated? It said that it was last updated 2 years ago. It needs to be updated because some people cannot use plugins that wasn’t updated since 2-3 years ago…

9. Leslie

   I hope you can help me. Can you tell me if this plugin can do what I need?

   I need to be able to add a second featured image to a post (or custom post type) that is in more than one category. On the archive page for one of the categories, I need for the second featured image thumbnail to show, and everywhere else on the site I need for the first featured image thumbnail to show.

   Thanks for whatever you can tell me!

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     Hey Leslie,

     We are not sure this plugin can do that on its own. You will probably need to edit your theme files to achieve this.

18. Barrett Hemmings

    Is there a way to use this method to assign a secondary featured image based on a category that is chosen? I am building a site for a reclaimed wood company that does all kinds of projects and some of the project photos have multiple categories within them. For instance, one project we did has items throughout the house that we did, and we included the category “Shelves” to a posting that the featured image doesn’t show any shelves. That project will be displayed within a page of shelves and have the featured image of a counter top. Is there any way to make it display one of the photos of the shelves when it is displayed in this category?

    Responder

    • Ankita

      there is always an id for any post type so in your case if it is “shelves” then ‘post_type’ => ‘shelves’ will be in your code.

20. Patrick Buntsma

    It might be very easy, but I cannot seem to get it right…
    How do I get it to show up in all my post types? The ‘post_type’ => ‘post’ only makes it available in WP Posts. I need it in ‘page’ and ‘event’ as well.

    Please advice.

    How can i get the ID of the extra Thumbnail?

    Responder

23. Anas Naqvi

    for multiple feature images copy this code in your functions,php

    if (class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’)) {

    for($i=2; $i ‘Secondary Image-‘.$i,

    ‘id’ => ‘secondary-image-‘.$i,

    ‘post_type’ => ‘page’

    ));

    }

    }

    In order to display your featured image paste this code in your loop of your single.php/page.php where you want to display the images.

    if (class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’)) :

    for($i=2; $i<=5; $i++)

    {

    MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail(get_post_type(), 'secondary-image-'.$i);

    }

    endif;

24. Rajith Gunawardena

    this is a very useful tutorial.. So the admins doesn`t need to go to widgets as all items could be added at once ( if the items are unique to that post ./ page ) .. Does anyone of you guys know how we could have a similar one for featured text and extra text areas within the post ?

    Responder

25. Rajith Gunawardena

    this is very useful and i manage to get it to work without any issue. do you know how we could have a similer things with FEATURED TEXT and MULTiPLE FEATURED TEXT ?

    • KyawNaing Tun

      I solved it like this

      // in function.php

      if (class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’)) {

      new MultiPostThumbnails(array(

      ‘label’ => ‘Secondary Image’,

      ‘id’ => ‘secondary-image’,

      ‘post_type’ => ‘product’

      ) );

      new MultiPostThumbnails(array(

      ‘label’ => ‘Third Image’,

      ‘id’ => ‘third-image’,

      ‘post_type’ => ‘product’

      ) );

      }

      // in template

      if (class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’)) :

      MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail(get_post_type(), ‘secondary-image’);

      endif;

      if (class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’)) :

      MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail(get_post_type(), ‘third-image’);

      endif;

    I solved it like this (based on code provided in this article, its comments and other sources):

    MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail(get_post_type(), ‘secondary-image’, NULL, ‘medium’);
    $mptId = MultiPostThumbnails::get_post_thumbnail_id(‘post’, ‘secondary-image’, $post->ID);
    $p = get_post($mptId);
    echo “”;
    echo apply_filters(‘the_excerpt’,$p->post_excerpt);
    echo “”;

28. MatsDagerlind

    I know you explained in another topic (https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-display-wordpress-post-thumbnails-with-captions/) how to get and show the caption (excerpt) for a thumbnail, but I don’t quite get how to do this in the context above. If someone could show what to add to the code sample to show the caption beneath the thumbnail, I would be very grateful.

    Responder

29. Vinnie James

    Is it possible to just return the image url without the tag when calling it up within the template file? Something similar to:

    //Get the Thumbnail URL
    $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), array(320,240), false, ” );
    echo $src[0];

    EDIT: Yes, there is. Use this —
    $custom = MultiPostThumbnails::get_post_thumbnail_id(‘post’, ‘secondary-image’, $post->ID); $custom=wp_get_attachment_image_src($custom,’post-secondary-image-thumbnail’); echo $custom[0];

          if (class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’)) {
          for($i = 1; $i ‘Gallery Image’.$i,
          ‘id’ => ‘image-‘.$i,

    What is different between default image and featured image in wordpress./////////////??????????

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      The featured image is an image that you can attach to a post using the featured image box in the post edit area. If you want, you can set a default fallback image for your featured images. This default featured image will appear when there is no featured image set for a post.

    I have created a plugin for displaying Page Title, Featured Image and the content.

    Instead of displaying featured image, I need to display the secondary image that is uploaded via plugin.

    How to accomplish this? I will share a small part of my plugin. Please go through it.

    function widget($args, $instance) {
    extract( $args );
    $title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, $instance[‘title’]);
    $page_id = $instance[‘page_id’];
    $featured_image = get_the_post_thumbnail($page_id);
    $image = $instance[$featured_image];
    echo $featured_image;

    ?>

    post_content;
    $content = strip_shortcodes($content);
    $content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content);
    echo $this->break_text($content, $page_id);
    ?>

    <!––>
    <!––>

    <?php

    I cannot get the resize part to work for me.

    I add image size in functions.php:
    add_image_size(‘small-featured-image-size’, 250, 150);

    I add my image:
    if (class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’)) {
    new MultiPostThumbnails(
    array(
    ‘label’ => ‘Small Featured Image’,
    ‘id’ => ‘smaller-featured-image’,
    ‘post_type’ => ‘product’
    )
    );
    }

    And then:
    if( class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’) ) {
    MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail(‘product’, ‘smaller-featured-image’, NULL, ‘small-featured-image-size’);
    }

    The image keeps coming out on the page as its original size. Can anyone help me?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Eoghan first you need to create ‘smaller-featured-image’ image size. Check out how to create additional image sizes in WordPress and then how to regenerate thumbnails.

    Hey, I’m trying to figure out how to turn this block of code into an array that can be used outside of the loop (in a foreach loop thats after the post loop).

    if (class_exists(‘MultiPostThumbnails’)) :

    MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail(get_post_type(), ‘secondary-image’);

    endif;

    How would you do this? Great tutorials by the way!

    To improve on this idea, you could just use a custom meta box/fields plugin or create a custom repeatable field… To allow different number of “post thumbnails”
