Featured Image Extended

Feature Image Extended extends featured image functionality allowing:

• Hiding featured image in your themes for all post types.
• Adding link to the featured image.
• Adding thumbnail featured image in administration screens listing.
• Featured image quick-editing.

Usage

Once the plugin is installed you can control settings in the following ways:

• Programmatically by using featured_image_extended_settings filter (see below).
• Using the Settings->Featured Image Extended administration screen.

If your theme uses a different call other than the_post_thumbnail()/get_the_post_thumbnail() in order to get the featured image, this plugin might not work.
So, in order to get extended featured image settings and apply to your pages, you should use featured_image_extended() (see below).

API

It returns an array containing featured image extended information of $post_id post (or current post if you don’t supply an argument) like following:

    'target' => '_blank',
