    Hello, great plugin by the way, one thing i would find really useful is a way to have a second instance of a featured gallery in a single post, I currently need 2 galleries that will be handled and styled separately in a single post, would this be easy to implement? maybe just adding and renaming some functions manually?
    if so could someone point me to the right files and lines?

    That’s an interesting question, and I’m not sure. It’s certainly not something I’ve thought about, but I can see where it might be useful. It’ll be somewhat difficult though. You’ll need to register a second metabox.

    Maybe copy the metabox code, and append something like _one and _two to each one. Then you’ll need to make sure each one saves separate metadata. The gallery is stored in a single metadata piece, as a comma delimited string. It would be possible to store two pieces of metadata, one for each gallery.

    Hey! thanks for the super quick response Andy!, gotcha, what i did was just copy the whole plugin and ran some auto-renaming on the functions and it all seems to work! haha, but I will look into the metabox file and metadata to make it a little cleaner.
    Thanks for the awesome pointers.
    And for the great little plugin!

    That sounds like it would work, definitely, though as you said, it could be cleaner.

    I’m glad the plugin has helped. Would appreciate a review/rating if you have a moment.
