Move and rename "Featured Image" box
-
I would like to call the “Featured Image” box with another name (‘Video Thumbnail’) and move it from ‘side’ to ‘normal’.
It is a piece of cake if I replace this line in edit-form-advanced.php
add_meta_box('postimagediv', __('Featured Image'),'post_thumbnail_meta_box', $post_type, 'side', 'low');
with
add_meta_box('postimagediv', __('Video Thumbnail'), 'post_thumbnail_meta_box', $post_type, 'normal', 'low');
I do not want to touch the core files though, I want do do it via the functions.php in my child theme. I am also using it only for my custom post types.
Any suggestion???

I figured it out!
My post type is called ‘au-portfolio’, then I used this in my function.php:
function customposttype_image_box() { remove_meta_box('postimagediv', 'au-portfolio', 'side'); add_meta_box('postimagediv', __('Video Thumbnail - 100 X 60 pixels - Bigger images will be cropped automatically.'), 'post_thumbnail_meta_box', 'au-portfolio', 'normal', 'low'); }
Presto!
Hey Mirko,
Tried using this–where/how are you calling the customposttype_image_box() function. When I try to call it, my page admin section breaks. Am I missing something?

This is the full code, in my functions.php
//Use "Featured Image" box as a custom box function customposttype_image_box() { remove_meta_box('postimagediv', 'au-portfolio', 'side'); remove_meta_box('postimagediv', 'au-gallery', 'side'); add_meta_box('galleryimagediv', __('Full Size Image. Ratio 4:3, minimum size 800 x 600 pixels.'), 'post_thumbnail_meta_box', 'au-gallery', 'normal', 'low'); add_meta_box('postimagediv', __('Video Thumbnail - 100 X 60 pixels - Bigger images will be cropped automatically.'), 'post_thumbnail_meta_box', 'au-portfolio', 'normal', 'low'); } add_action('do_meta_boxes', 'customposttype_image_box');
