<p>NOTE: <strong>This is an extension for the popular <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a> plugin. By itself, this plugin does NOTHING.</strong> ENDNOTE</p>
<p>Generates a nice button/link to an external url or an internal post type, similar to the page_link field but allows you to override the link text and link to any post type or a custom url.</p>
<p>What makes this great is reducing multiple ACF rows into just one (see screenshots for a clear visual walkthrough). The internal link also uses a dropdown which is populated from all your post types so the button can link to a media file or a Custom Post Type, or of course to a page or post.</p>
<p>There are many advanced options as well. This will simply add classes to the button link which line up nicely with Zurb Foundation, but can easily be styled by any theme or developer to make these buttons shine. Options for color, size, style as well allowing the button to open in a new window and add custom classes on the fly.</p>

<h4>History</h4>
<p>For one of my customers I had to assign two featured images to pages. One featured image was used as the header image and the other as a small button for the submenu. The images had to be different too (so I couldn’t simply use different images sizes) and so I wrote this little plugin.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE TO THOSE UPDATING FROM 0.3:</strong> The Plugin comes with a new method for registering featured images and updates the post meta key. It is fully backwards compatible, but if you are calling the post metas directly then please update your code accordingly. The new format of the post meta key is kdmfi_YOUR_ID.</p>

Multiple Featured Images

I have been using this for years.  I can't even begin to count how many times I've been handed a design for a theme to build where the designer had a thumbnail for one gallery, then a totally different type of thumbnail for some other section of the site.  Nothing flashy here, just the perfect tool for the job.

This plugin makes adding extra featured image types a breeze.  It's a tool for developers, tho and not a simple plug-n-play solution. It doesn't simply add a second thumbnail to your posts, it does require some really lite code tinkering, so if you're not comfortable monkeying around in the functions file(s), this won't solve the problem for you.

A great tool for custom theme developers
