Post Thumbnail Extras

See on Wordpress.org.

About

• Provides a shortcode for embedding post-thumbnails. Authors can quickly change
  pictures in posts without wading through HTML. This can be awesome in several
  ways: if your post-thumbnails change their width or height due to a theme
  change, or if you have cropped them with another tool (you know, maybe a
  certain editor) – this will always pull wordpress’ latest
  image).
• Includes a hook into the media library to create the above shortcode.
• Add new post thumbnails via Wordpress Settings → Media.

Installation

Download

Download Post Thumbnail Extras and unzip it to your wp-content/plugins
directory. Alternately, use Wordpress’ plugin updater to automatically install
the stable version.

Usage

Shortcode

Use the shortcode [pt] in your posts to quickly embed the featured image as a
thumbnail. Use the attribute 'size' to change to a different post-thumbnail
size (e.g. [pt size='medium']). You can also use any image in your media
gallery if you know the id, by using the id attribute ([pt id='100']).

Use the link attribute to wrap the image in a link.

• link='file' will create a link to the full size image.
• link='post' will create a link to the attachment page.
• link='http...' creates a link to any URL.

Use the media library to quickly add this shortcode for the selected image by
pressing the “Insert shortcode” button.

Add/Delete Post Thumbnails

1. In Settings → Media, click the plus sign to add a new post thumbnail.

   

2. Update the width/height and whether or not the post-thumbnail should be
   cropped to an exact size. (If the width or height is set to 0, that boundary
   constraint is not enforced – effectively, it’s infinite). Make sure you
   click the “save” button so that the changes are stored in the database.
