Tareq Hasan Hi there, To start great plugin! works like a dream, I have 3 forms on one page for creating different kinds of posts, there in a tab format. The problem is when i click "add featured image" nothing happens unless i am on the first tab, but the upload form open 3 times. This doesn't happen with the upload form if the meta-keys are different, but i don't have the option with the main "thumbnail/featured image" is there anyway i can fix this? Many thanks in advance, Jonny

Hi Jonny, I fear there is no solution for this. It’s a JavaScript related issue. As the plugin uses ajax image uploader and it works based on the ID, all the featured images have same ID. So it works like that.

So theres no way i can change the ID?
It seems like quite a big bug not to be able to create multiple forms with featured images on the same page!
ANy suggestions would be amazing,

thanks again, Jonny

If i used an “upload image” input rather than the “featured image upload”
is there anyway i can could get the thumbnails to show in the dashboard?
this is my only concern – i need to be able to access an image for each post and would like that image to show in the dashboard too.

Sorry, I don’t think you can do this currently.

You could use different custom fields for different forms as the featured image. Then in the single post, you could check for images on those custom fields and show the image if found. In order to do that on dashboard, it has a filter for default image if the featured image not found. You could take advantage of that filter and show the appropriate image.
