   Hi, I am working with the Rockwell theme and trying to figure out how to display a different featured image in my category view, and my post view. So I need the ability to display 2 seperate images.

   How can I go about setting this up? I tried to look for plugins and couldnt find any.

   The Multiple Post Thumbnails Plugin should do the trick!

   Hi, yes I am not sure how to edit my theme though to make it work.

   I would have to edit this part I believe:

   <?php the_post(); ?>
   <div class="content" id="blog-single-7">
   <?php get_single_post_title(); ?>
   <?php get_post_mainimg($post->ID, 940, 340); ?>

   and would i just change get_post_mainimg to get_secondary_image?

   You would change it to something like this

   MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail('post', 'secondary-image', NULL, 'post-secondary-image-thumbnail');

   you can find more info about how to set this up in the plugin's faq section.

   would that be the code i place in the functions.php or in the get_post_mainimg area? I had a look at the FAQ's, but not being a programmer makes things pretty difficult to understand.

   Install Multiple Post Thumbnails

   and paste this code in your function.php

   /* Add secondary thumbnail (featured image) in page */
   $thumb = new MultiPostThumbnails(array(
    'label' => 'Secondary Image',
    'id' => 'secondary-image',
    'post_type' => 'page'
    )
   );
   /* Add secondary thumbnail (featured image) in posts */
   $thumbPost = new MultiPostThumbnails(array(
    'label' => 'Secondary Image',
    'id' => 'secondary-image',
    'post_type' => 'post'
    )
   );

   [Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button.]

   and the find secondary image area ...like

   http://example.com/?attachment_id=721

   and upload the second image..
