Multisite Featured Image changes the box of the featured image so that you can use the classic Media Uploader also with Network Shared Media.

== Description ==

Multisite Featured Image changes the box of the featured image for all sites under a multisite except the main site which you can choose from the Settings Page "MU Featured Image".

This plugin changes the box in the way that the default pop-up is replaced with the classic Media Uploader where you can choose images. *Images From URL do work*.

For a greater Multisite experience you can combine this plugin with the [Network Shared Media plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/network-shared-media/) and have a complete Media Sharing site.

Read about it on this [article](http://siderrz.com/wordpress-multisite-shared-featured-image/).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I have to use a custom function to enable post thumbnails? =

No, this plugin is hooked on the core function the_post_thumbnail().

= Can I set the image from URL? =

Yes, from version 1.2, you can set images from URL.

= Can I use custom image sizes or choose between the default sizes? =

This plugin is using the thickbox and you can choose between registered and default sizes on the screen where you choose your image. To enable a custom image size to be added on the size selection you will need to use the filter [image_size_names_choose](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/image_size_names_choose).

= Can I use any registered image size with this plugin or the featured image will stay in the selected image? =

From version 1.1, featured image retrieves the required size from the function the_post_thumbnail. This plugin delivers the right size of the image, so the answer is: Yes, you can use any registered image size.
