 * Hi
 * first of all, thank you for a great plugin, I use it a lot and it helps a lot
   of clients find their way in the back-end.
 * I recently made a small change to the plugin core, and I just thought I might
   share it with you. Using quite a lot of custom meta fields in some sites, I’ve
   felt the need to add extra thumbnails not only in the sidebar but in the “normal”
   column as well. Easy enough, I just added a new line under the $defaults array:
   `'
   meta_box_position' => 'side'`
 * Then I changed the fifth parameter in the add_meta_box function call within add_metabox
   to
    `"$this->meta_box_position"`
 * Now I can add that fifth parameter (either “side” or “normal”, though “side” 
   of course isn’t necessary since it is the fallback) anytime I call the plugin.
 * Not sure it’s useful to everyone, but the way I set it up, it falls back to the
   standard use.

 * [@carl-johan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carl-johan/) Good idea.
 * Can you test this out with the following: [https://raw.github.com/voceconnect/multi-post-thumbnails/master/multi-post-thumbnails.php](https://raw.github.com/voceconnect/multi-post-thumbnails/master/multi-post-thumbnails.php)
 * When you register a thumbnail, the args array can now have a `context` key where
   you can specify it. Defaults to side.

 * Right, makes sense to use WP’s own terminology. Just implemented your current
   version and that works like a charm. Again, very solid plugin, helps out a lot!
