<h3>Documentation</h3>
<h4>Dashboard Widgets</h4>
<p>Select ‘Available As Dashboard Widget’ in the widget editor to enable a widget as a dashboard widget. If you do not want this widget showing in the available widgets list for sidebar placement, select ‘Disable Sidebar Widget’.</p>
<h4>Default vs. Custom Templates</h4>
<p>The built in template can be overridden by files within your template.</p>
<p>The Widget Builder comes with a default template for the widget output. If you would like to alter the widget display code, create a new folder called “tribe_widget_builder” in your template directory and copy over the “views/widget.php” file.</p>
<p>Edit the new file to your hearts content. Please do not edit the one in the plugin folder as that will cause conflicts when you update the plugin to the latest release.</p>
<p>Alternatively you can point to a path of your choosing using the filter ‘tribe_widget_builder_widget.php’.</p>
<h4>Filter widget query args</h4>
<p>Filter your query arguments or get_posts altogether for granular fine tuning your listing of widgets or in the case of MU install restricting the builder to one site.</p>
<p>The following filters are available for override<br />
    ‘tribe_widget_builder_get_posts_args’ // customize the widget query parameters<br />
    ‘tribe_widget_builder_get_posts’ // change the get_posts() query</p>


Widget Builder

I get this error when using the plugin with PHP7:

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Tribe_Widget_Builder_Display has a deprecated constructor in /www/wp-content/plugins/widget-builder/classes/custom-widget-display.php on line 19 Fatal error: Cannot use lexical variable $widget_widget as a parameter name in /www/wp-content/plugins/widget-builder/classes/wp_add_dashboard_widget.php on line 5

Breaks with PHP7?

<p>Adds multiple post thumbnails to a post type. If you’ve ever wanted more than one Featured Image on a post, this plugin is for you.</p>


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!
