I don’t see any option to add a secondary feature image.

### 󠀁[Not working with WP version 4.7.1.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-with-wp-version-4-7-1/)󠁿

I updated the plugin from 1.3 version to 1.6.6. but it didn’t work anymore. When
I selected an image as an additional post thumbnail, the pop-up window closed but
the selected image didn’t appear in page’s thumbnail preview window. And after saving
the changes to page, the thumbnail image didn’t appear in the actual page either.
For now, I rolled back to version 1.3 and it works as it should. But I would like
to update to version 1.6.6. since the pop-up window for selecting additional post
thumbnails is much easier to use and more stylish with 1.6.6. version when compared
to 1.3. version. I also tried the fixed found from this topic (https://wordpress.
org/support/topic/bugfix-bug-with-multiple-post-types-wp-4-5/) but that didn’t work
either.

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. 😉

I installed this plugin o a custom theme where I was using the first featured image
as a background image and after installing this, surprise! Not working 🙁 Tried 
te disable/delete it, and surprise again! Still not working. So this plugin messed
up my database. Thanks, developers!
