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="http://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: http://wordpress.org/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="http://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.
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?
