<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>This plugin has been actively maintained since 2012 and is used on over 20,000 websites worldwide.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<p>The <a href="https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/products/unique-headers/" rel="nofollow ugc">Unique Headers Plugin</a> adds a custom header image box to the post/page edit screen. You can use this to upload a unique header image for that post, or use another image from your WordPress media library. When you view that page on the front-end of your site, the default header image for your site will be replaced by the unique header you selected.</p>
<p>This functionality also works with categories and tags.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>You must use a theme which utilizes the built-in custom header functionality of WordPress. If your theme implement it’s own header functionality, then this plugin will not work with it.</p>

<h3>Development</h3>
<p>This section is only relevant for developers building the plugin from source (e.g. cloning from GitHub). If you installed via WordPress.org, the plugin is ready to use — no build steps required.</p>
<p>The plugin uses Composer for PHP autoloading and dependencies, npm for JavaScript tooling, and TypeScript for admin JavaScript.</p>
<p>To set up a development environment:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install PHP dependencies: <code>composer install</code></li>
<li>Install JavaScript dependencies: <code>npm install</code></li>
<li>Compile TypeScript to JavaScript: <code>npm run build</code></li>
</ol>
<p>To run tests and analysis:</p>
<ul>
<li>PHPCS (PSR-12 coding standards): <code>composer phpcs</code></li>
<li>Auto-fix PHPCS violations: <code>composer phpcbf</code></li>
<li>PHP-CS-Fixer (dry-run): <code>composer cs</code></li>
<li>PHP-CS-Fixer (auto-fix): <code>composer cs:fix</code></li>
<li>PHPStan static analysis: <code>composer phpstan</code></li>
<li>PHPUnit unit tests: <code>composer test</code></li>
<li>TypeScript type checking: <code>npm run typecheck</code></li>
</ul>
<p>TypeScript source files are in <code>src/ts/</code>. The compiled output is written to <code>assets/admin.js</code> and is what WordPress loads on the admin side.</p>

Unique Headers

Great plugin!

Use it on every site. Why would soneone like to have the same header on every page? Should be in core. =)

Should have been core since .. ever?

Add unique custom header images to individual pages, posts, categories, or tags.
