[Plugin: Multiple Post Thumbnails] Updating a Custom Post loses the Multiple Thumbnails

@gambit37: I’m unable to reproduce this on a test install of 3.0.1 when using a custom post type. I created a new post of that type, saved it, then attached the image, and updated the post and the image remained attached and displayed.

i’m having this problem as well. the only time the error occurs is if i try to update the secondary image with a new one. when i upload the new image and hit update, it doesn’t stick.

i love this plugin so i hope this can be fixed.

I’m having the same problem also. It doesn’t always occur. Some stories accept the multiple images with no problem and once in a while one of them is rejected upon clicking update. If I don’t click update and move to another post and then return the image is still there. Definitely a bug, but I find I can still use the plug-in if I don’t click on update.

Sure would love to see this fixed!

Anyone having problems with this: are you using the latest version (0.4) of the plugin?

Hi! I’ve also had this problem (with 0.4). It all worked fine on my local machine but when I migrated to a live site I encountered this problem. The second Featured Image would upload and appear in the correct edit screen box but would then just disappear when you clicked ‘update’. Although I had a custom post type this was functionality was only used on the main ‘post’ type.

FYI I have the following other plugins:
NextGen Gallery
More Fields
Clearner Gallery

I did manage to fix this but I’m not sure how. Here’s two things I did:
1. Rename the plugins directory to something else and create a dummy plugins folder. Then visit the plugins admin page which had errors due to not finding the plugins. Delete the plugins directory and rename the old one back then visit the page again.
2. I tidied up my code in functions.php and rearranged the order a bit. I finally settled upon:

// Add support for extra Artists Portrait Image
$thumb = new MultiPostThumbnails(array(
    'label' => 'Artist-Portrait',
    'id' => 'artist-portrait'
    )
);
add_image_size('artist-portrait-image', 337, 246, true);

// Add support for Post Thumbnails/Featured Image
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post','print_images','page' ) );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 250, 180, true ); // true = hard crop mode
add_image_size( 'menu-thumbnail', 64, 64, true ); //
add_image_size( 'featured-image', 247, 246, true ); //
add_image_size( 'artists-page', 267, 170, true ); //
add_image_size( 'random-print', 260, 157, true ); //
add_image_size( 'wide-page', 612, 246, true ); //?>

Before I did have a comma after ‘id’ => ‘artist-portrait’

Anyway, great plugin. And it seems to be working for now. I hope you can work out the issue for 0.5

Pretty much a ‘me too’. Was working fine until I tried to change / update any of the images then the Secondary image wouldn’t stick.

Famous last words but …
Add a 2nd image
Click update
View custom fields – a new field is created – ‘page_secondary-image_thumbnail_id’
Add new image/ update – the custom ID stays the same

So … to fix:

Delete the 2nd image
Update
Delete the custom field
Update
Add new image
Update

All should work fine.

Yep I got 3 additionnal thumbs, and I’m always losing the first one…version0.4.

??

Did you check the custom fields?

Indeed, manually deleting the page_secondary-image_thumbnail_id custom field sorts this bug out.

Hey People,

Anyone has a code fix for this? …. i couldnt find a fix for this for months

Anyone?

I would be happy if someone told me what needed to be done, and ill hire someone to get the right result.

Thanks, manually deleting the custom field worked for me. Just what I needed. Hope there will be a fix for this in the future. By the way, great plugin!

What he said (:

I was having issues with this too, and manually deleting the custom field seems to have fixed it. And I agree, this is an awesome plugin.
