FAQ
Questions
Is it a replacement for Multiple Post Thumbnails?
Yes. Install it, then deactivate Multiple Post Thumbnails. Your theme keeps calling the same functions and your images stay where they are, with nothing to import.
Will my Multiple Featured Images images show up?
Yes. Its template functions, filter and shortcode keep working with the images already saved, and each slot gains a block editor panel.
How many extra featured images can a post type have?
Up to 3 per content type in the free version, and unlimited in Pro. Slots a theme registers in code are never limited.
Can I show a secondary featured image in a Query Loop?
Yes. Add the Extra Featured Image block inside the Query Loop's post template, and each post shows its own image.
Does it work with WooCommerce products?
Yes. Products get slots like any other content type. Pro adds a hover image in shop lists and puts the extra images in the product gallery.
Where are the images stored?
As post meta, one attachment ID per slot, under the same key Multiple Post Thumbnails used. Every slot is readable in the REST API.
What happens if I uninstall it?
Your images stay. Uninstalling removes only the plugin's settings.
