Multiple Post Thumbnails

Even though this plugin hasn't been updated in a long time, it still works great! So I guess there's just no reason for the developer to have it updated. ;-)
For me this plugin is one of the easiest ways to selectively add a header image. I want it on some pages, but not on others. Using the standard Featured Image function will set it foor all or none, so that's not flexible enough.
One suggestion for an update though:
Now you still need to add the following snippet to your theme's function.php.
if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')) {
    new MultiPostThumbnails(
        array(
            'label' => 'Secondary Image',
            'id' => 'secondary-image',
            'post_type' => 'post'
            'post_type' => 'page'
        )
    );
}
It would be great if the plugin did this automatically. That will also keep the plugin active if you switch themes. 
P.S.
To add the meta box to other post types, just add it to the snippet.
'post_type' => 'event' will add it for Events Manager, for example. ;-)



Still works great!

<p>Really Simple Featured Image keeps your posts and pages visually consistent by filling in missing featured images automatically. When you update or publish posts, pages, and CPTs, the plugin inspects the editor content and assigns the first available image or streaming video thumbnail as the featured image – no extra clicks required.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatically sets the featured image when one is not provided.</li>
<li>Detects inline images from blocks, classic editor markup, builders, and srcset/background sources.</li>
<li>Fetches thumbnails from YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion embeds when you prefer video covers.</li>
<li>Lets you enable or disable automation per post type that supports featured images.</li>
<li>Respects existing featured images and runs quietly in the background.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Choose the default source (images in content or video thumbnails) from JetixWP -> Auto Featured Image.</li>
<li>Select which post types should receive automatic featured images.</li>
<li>Save or update a post – if it has no featured image, the plugin will attach the first match it finds.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.0 or newer.</li>
<li>PHP 8.0 or newer.</li>
</ul>
