<p>Ordered Thumbnails is a WordPress plugin that allows you to display thumbnails based on images that have been attached to a post. This plugin also allows you to specify which thumbnail appears next to a post with multiple images by ordering the thumbnails in the Gallery tab of the WordPress “Add Images” lightbox and placing the thumbnail desired in the first position.</p>
<p>To style how the thumbnail appears on your page, you may pass optional CSS class names to the plugin, which will then be applied to the <code><img></code> tag returned. Alternately, by setting the display parameter to “false”, Ordered Thumbnails will return the thumbnail URL, height, and width as a PHP array to be used however you see fit. If no images have been attached to a post, the plugin fails gracefully and returns “false”. This plugin will work anywhere the WordPress posts loop is used and works particularly nice in combination with <code>the_excerpt</code> for archive pages.</p>


Ordered Thumbnails

Display a thumbnail based on post images with no additional uploads. For multiple image posts, thumbnail respects Gallery sort order.

<p>A ‘Download’ option is added to both List and Grid modes in the Media Library.<br />
Choose the attachments you want to export, click the button, and a zip file of those attachments is created that you can then download.</p>
<h4>Selecting for download in List mode</h4>
<p>In List mode the ‘Download’ option appears in the Bulk Actions dropdown. Select the attachments by checking the checkboxes, choose ‘Download’ in the dropdown, then click ‘Apply’.</p>
<h4>Selecting for download in Grid mode</h4>
<p>In Grid mode, first click the ‘Bulk Select’ button. Then click on the attachments you want to download and hit the ‘Download’ button.</p>
<h4>Download options</h4>
<p>Before the zip file is created, you’ll see a) how many files will be downloaded, and b) how big the uncompressed files are.<br />
By default, you are also given the option to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Include or exclude image intermediate sizes.</li>
<li>Include in your download the folder structure you use in your uploads folder (e.g. year/month) or have all files downloaded in a single folder.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can set a maximum (uncompressed) file size to be downloaded in the plugin settings, found in Settings > Media.</p>
<p>By default, zip files are automatically removed in 1 – 2 hours, or you can delete them yourself.</p>
<p>If you want to keep the download files inaccessible to others, you can use the ‘Make downloads secure’ option in Settings > Media.<br />
This creates a .htaccess file in the folder where the download zip files are kept, preventing direct access.</p>
<p>You can also choose to encrypt and password-protect the zip files. However please note that in most cases the standard Windows zip facility<br />
will not be able to open the files – you will need to use something like 7-Zip instead.</p>
<p>However there’s no point in using this feature or the .htaccess one unless you also have some means of preventing direct access to the attachments<br />
themselves in the Uploads folder.</p>
