Add Featured Image To Genesis CPT Archive

This plugin will add a metabox and field to add an image to the Genesis CPT Archive Settings Page. This is a developer level plugin that requires you to edit your theme template files to function.

1. Install via WordPress.org plugin directory (coming soon!)…or…
2. Download zip file, unzip, and upload rwc-pass-parameters-to-iframe directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4. Use genesis_get_cpt_option( 'rwc_cpt_featured_img' ); in your archive tempalate to retrive the URL of the image added on the Genesis CPT Archive Settings Page.

How do I display the archive image on my CPT archive template?

The featured image is stored as a Genesis option. To display the image use genesis_get_cpt_option( 'rwc_cpt_featured_img' ); on the archive template for the CPT, which will return a string of the image URL.

A hook can be used to display the featured image as well. Hooking into genesis_archive_title_descriptions will display the image above the archive title.

add_action('genesis_archive_title_descriptions', 'rwc_display_cpt_image', 1);
function rwc_display_cpt_image(){
    if ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
        $post_type_image = genesis_get_cpt_option( 'rwc_cpt_featured_img' );
    if(!empty($post_type_image)){
            echo '<div class="cpt-image"><img src="'.$post_type_image.'" alt="header image" /></div>';
        }
    }
}
