<h4>History</h4>
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.
<blockquote>
IMPORTANT NOTE TO THOSE UPDATING FROM 0.3: 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.

<h4>Contribute</h4>
Feel free to ask if you have problems with this plugin. But please keep in mind, that this plugin is developed in the author’s spare time – so it may take some time to answer. 
Feature requests are welcome too!

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

Dynamically adds multiple featured image or multiple post thumbnail functionality to your page, posts and custom post types. This plugin provides you an interface to add any number of featured image as you want without writing a single line of code. These featured images can then be collected by the various theme functions.
Overview
Dynamic Featured Image enables the option to have MULTIPLE featured images within a post or page. 
This is especially helpful when you use other plugins, post thumbnails or sliders that use featured images. 
Why limit yourself to only one featured image if you can do some awesome stuffs with multiple featured image? 
DFI allows you to add different number of featured images to each post and page that can be collected by the various theme functions.
