<p>Use this plugin to display the featured image for any post or page in your sidebar. If a featured image has been set. If no featured image has been set, the plugin tries to use the image of the parent post/page. Otherwise, no widget is displayed.</p>


Featured Image Widget

This doesn't pull in any photos in the sidebar. The title shows up, but no images are shown. Bummers. Maybe this worked before, but it certainly doesn't now. I am using Twenty Fourteen for the theme.

<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
