[Plugin: Multiple Post Thumbnails] Secondary thumbnail not showing

anyone? I still have this problem ??

I too am having this issue, but I am just using the basic code give with the Instructions on the Plugin page. Here’s my code:

functions.php:

if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')) { new MultiPostThumbnails(array( 'label' => 'Secondary Image', 'id' => 'secondary-image', 'post_type' => 'page' ) ); }

loop:

<?php if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')
	    && MultiPostThumbnails::has_post_thumbnail('page', 'secondary-image')) :
	        MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail('page', 'secondary-image'); endif; ?>

I have also tried changing ‘post’ to ‘page’ and nothing is working. I am using v3.3.1. Any ideas?

Anyone get this to work with WP 3.3.1 ?

I am having the same issue. The meta-box and set image both appear and seem to function properly, however, I cannot get the image to display in my template using the suggested code:

<?php if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')
	    && MultiPostThumbnails::has_post_thumbnail('page', 'secondary-image')) :
	        MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail('page', 'secondary-image'); endif; ?>

I solved my issue by using this plugin instead:

Never did get the Multi-Post Thumbs to work, but this one works for me like a charm!

Thank you @gaberosser,

The Attachments plugin looks promising for use in other projects. I really like this featured image functionality to make it really simple for a client to choose a Page Header Image on a page by page basis.

What I have discovered is that the output does not work outside of the loop, which is where my page header resides. When I placed the template code within the loop it pulls in the image. Now, I have to figure out how to get the image when outside of the loop.

I’ve tried this but cannot get it to work, still learning PHP. Does anyone know how I can properly call the MultiPostThumbnail when outside of the loop? Here is what I am trying in my template:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content" class="clear">

<?php global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$post_type = get_post_type($postid);
get_post($postid) ;?>

<div id="page-header">
<?php
if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')
&& MultiPostThumbnails::has_post_thumbnail($post_type, 'page-header-image')) :
MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail($post_type, 'page-header-image', NULL, 'Page Header');
else : ?><img src="https://myblog.com/images/fallback-image.jpg" height="200" width="936" alt="San Francisco Skyline"/>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

<div id="main-content">

<div id="breadcrumbs"><?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) { yoast_breadcrumb();} else { the_breadcrumb();} ?></div>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<!--Page or Post Content-->

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div><!--END #main-content -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div><!--END #content -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I’ve finally got this working the way I had planned. Here is how I am implementing this plugin in my theme to have a different page header image on each ‘post/page/custom post’ with a fallback image if not specified:

In functions.php:

add_image_size( 'Page Header', 936, 200, true ); 

if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')) {
    $types = array('post', 'page', 'tribe_events');
    foreach($types as $type) {
        new MultiPostThumbnails(array(
            'label' => 'Page Header Image',
            'id' => 'page-header-image',
            'post_type' => $type
            )
        );
    }
}

I’ve altered my original query and specified the post ID in the output according to a solution in a previous thread by ‘brubrant’ which can be found here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-display-thumbnails-outside-loop

In the post/page/custom post template:

<?php global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$posttype = get_post_type($postid); ?>

    <div id="page-header">
	<?php
	if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')
	    && MultiPostThumbnails::has_post_thumbnail($posttype, 'page-header-image', $postid)) :
	        MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail($posttype, 'page-header-image', $postid, 'Page Header');
    	else : ?><img src="https://myblog.com/images/fallback-image.jpg" height="200" width="936" alt="San Francisco Skyline"/>
	<?php endif; ?>
    </div>

    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

<!-- STANDARD PAGE OR POST TEMPLATE WITH LOOP -->

FYI, it would be a little cleaner to use get_queried_object_id() to get the post ID.

Thank you Chris.

Has anyone got this working in 3.3.2 or am I doing it wrong? When installing the plugin I don’t even get custom fields showing up in the backend. I’ve gone through the documentation and everything….

Thanks for all the info above, pretty much all I could find on the subject right now.

@ross.edman can you post your code where you register the thumbnails in functions.php?
