<p>Feature Image Extended extends featured image functionality allowing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hiding featured image in your themes for all post types.</li>
<li>Adding link to the featured image.</li>
<li>Adding thumbnail featured image in administration screens listing.</li>
<li>Featured image quick-editing.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Once the plugin is installed you can control settings in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Programmatically by using <code>featured_image_extended_settings</code> filter (see below).</li>
<li>Using the <em>Settings->Featured Image Extended</em> administration screen.</li>
</ul>
<p>If your theme uses a different call other than <code>the_post_thumbnail()</code>/<code>get_the_post_thumbnail()</code> in order to get the featured image, this plugin might not work.<br />
So, in order to get extended featured image settings and apply to your pages, you should use <code>featured_image_extended()</code> (see below).</p>
<h3>API</h3>
<p><strong><code>featured_image_extended( integer $post_id = null )</code></strong></p>
<p>It returns an array containing featured image extended information of <code>$post_id</code> post (or current post if you don’t supply an argument) like following:</p>
<pre><code>array(
    'show'   => true,
    'url'    => 'https://myurl.com',
    'target' => '_blank',
    'title'  => 'Image title',
)
</code></pre>
<h4>Hooks</h4>
<p><strong><code>featured_image_extended_settings</code></strong></p>
<p>Filter plugin settings values.</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters( 'featured_image_extended_settings', array $settings )
</code></pre>
<p><strong><code>featured_image_extended_admin_settings</code></strong></p>
<p>Filter allowing to display or not the plugin settings page in the administration.</p>
<pre><code>apply_filters( 'featured_image_extended_admin_settings', boolean $display )
</code></pre>
