Title: [Plugin: Multiple Post Thumbnails] Image not displaying Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Multiple Post Thumbnails] Image not displaying * Resolved [zeckdude](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeckdude/) * (@zeckdude) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-image-not-displaying/) * I can get the Secondary Image Upload box to show up in the admin area, but I can’t manage to get the image to display on the page. * This is the code I am using to try and make it display (From: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multiple-post-thumbnails/installation/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multiple-post-thumbnails/installation/)): * ``` ``` * I tried adding a random echo inside the if statement to see if it gets hit, but it doesn’t echo out, so i’m guessing somehow the condition is not being met? * What am I missing?

You could literally register ten or more post-thumbnails by giving them unique identifiers when registering them. Exciting stuff! * Thread Starter [zeckdude](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeckdude/) * (@zeckdude) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-image-not-displaying/#post-1614435) * Drew, thanks for the response. I appreciate the help! * I changed the code as you suggested and it didn’t change anything unfortunately. * Here is everything I have done with this plugin: * I am using the twentyten theme as a parent them for a new theme I’m making. * I activated the plugin. * **I put this in my functions.php file:** * ``` $thumb = new MultiPostThumbnails(array( 'label' => 'Secondary Image', 'id' => 'secondary-image', 'post_type' => 'page' ) ); ``` * **I put this in my page.php file:** * ``` if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails') && MultiPostThumbnails::has_post_thumbnail('page', 'secondary-image')) : echo 'This condition is met'; MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail('page', 'secondary-image'); endif; ``` * It said ‘post’ before, and I changed it to ‘page’ now, but that does not fix the problem. * I uploaded an image, I can see the image uploads, it adds a new custom field with the name ‘post_secondary-image_thumbnail_id’ and the correct id number(i checked the database and it inserts the image location correctly). * [Drew Gourley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drewgourley/) * (@drewgourley) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-image-not-displaying/#post-1614520) * Sorry to hear that this didn’t work, but there is one difference between yours and mine. I changed the way the condition was formatted. This is a long shot, because everything you’ve done SHOULD make it work, but it hasn’t… Here is the exact code from my page.php: * ```
``` * And the div isn’t necessary, its for CSS so: * ``` ``` * [Abdussamad Abdurrazzaq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abdussamad/) * (@abdussamad) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-image-not-displaying/#post-1614553) * Zeckdude I had the same problem as you and I figured out how to fix it. Just omit the “$thumb =” part. You don’t have to assign the object to any variable. Put the following in functions.php: * ``` new MultiPostThumbnails(array( 'label' => 'Secondary Image', 'id' => 'secondary-image', 'post_type' => 'page' ) ); ``` * [Drew Gourley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drewgourley/) * (@drewgourley) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-image-not-displaying/#post-1614554) * Ha, nice. * Really odd is that it works for me both ways… * Thread Starter [zeckdude](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zeckdude/) * (@zeckdude) * [15 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-multiple-post-thumbnails-image-not-displaying/#post-1614559) * I had not placed my code inside the loop for the content for that particular page.

The template code asks WordPress to display it.
